About This Pipe Tobacco
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.
Former's Private Flake features a mix of different Virginias from the United States, Africa, and India, plus Burley. The casing consists of several extracts such as fig-tree-fruit, tamarind, nut, truffle, apple syrup, and finally rounded with Irish top flavor.

If You Like Aro VaBurs

Product: Former Private Flake 50g
For those partial to European style aromatic VaBur mixtures, this is one to try. Decent tobacco, aroma is not too syrupy or medicinal. Compares favorably with Sillem's Red. Fruity, nutty, creamy.

Well after returning to this blend I find I don't like it as much as I did thanks to Gawith Hoggarth & Co. tobbaco.
