Former: Bird's Eye Flake 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-027-0004

Hans "Former" Nielsen began carving pipes in 1956 and has since become a legend of Danish pipe artistry with a worldwide following. In addition to his exquisite pipes, he's released his own line of pipe tobaccos — several of the blends fittingly named after briar's grain patterns.

Bird's Eye Flake from Former is a smooth, classic flake tobacco made from the finest grades of Virginia leaf, blended in layers using traditional methods and then gently matured in order to bring out the optimum flavors of the natural tobacco.

Bought this in my seemingly never ending search for ps400 alternatives, when it is out of stock. This is an excellent vaper that definitely has that same profile to me. I'm happy to have it as an alternative!

Blissful Experience

Product: Former Bird's Eye Flake 50g

Opened this as soon as it arrived and i'm glad i did, got another VA Perique Blend to add to my arsenal. Nutty, Slightly Sweet, but extremely mellow and smooth from beginning to end of bowl. Very Very impressed and disappointed i did not try this blend before. Not at all spicy, as others mentioned. I will be ordering a lot more of this blend and see what happens after aging it a bit, if i can resist not opening every tin....Read More

Good Navy Flake

March 15, 2021

Product: Former Bird's Eye Flake 50g

I like to carry a flake when I go out, they are just more portable, durable, they hold up better. This is one of the flakes I like to take with me and just like a good flake it is durable, portable and holds up well. This is a meat and potatoes blend, Virginias and Perique, don't expect to be surprised but you will find yourself pleased, it is spicy and savory. It is a good, reliable, and dependable blend. It holds it's own among what you find in a the selection of Va-Pers but if you want the convenience of a portable, well made Navy Flake then look no further. That is, if you can find it in stock....Read More

Product: Former Bird's Eye Flake 50g

It took a few bowls to like this but I think the trick for me was to age and dry it a little. I wanted something to rotate with my Orlik GS and Sutliff 707 SV. I think this will be great ! In my opinion, it's a little spicy and peppery but I got use to it.

funny enough, i am from germany and never saw this tobacco for sale in a shop ... anyhow, i grabbed a danish royal shape 11 and stuffed a bowl with this (rubbed up) flake ... to my surprise and despite the low price this stuff is delicious ... the first puffs gave me a slight hay flavor, but working down the bowl it got a bit sweeter and somehow nutty ... hehe, good that i got my former tins before it went out of stock ... bottomline: a very nice smoke for a bargain price....Read More
