I usually smoke McClelland Flake, usually Dark Navy Flake or Virginia /Perique. I tried this stuff on a whim and because of its discounted price point and reviews. I figured for $24, what the heck. Great tin aroma at first. Not quite the distinct aro... Read More

The sweetness of the Virgina and spiceyness of the dark Kentucky make this an excellent tasty blend. And the flakes are Beautiful. A satisfying blend.

Needs Age

I bought this blend upon a recommendation that it was more complex than Orlik DSK, however I found this has more bite, Will let it age and comeback to it later.
It's a bad smoke

Product: Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake 100g
This blend sums up everything that is wrong with Peter Heinrich's, in my opinion. This is an unrefined, flat, overly mild blend that bites at the least provocation but that has a nice room aroma. There is a light spiciness in the smoke that promises ... Read More

In the tin: Pretty, dark brown flakes. Pleasant slightly acrid smell of fermented Virginias. Packing and Lighting: I rubbed mine out to a fairly coarse texture and it packed, lit, and stayed lit just fine. The Taste: Yuck. Strong tobacco taste admi... Read More

Product: Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake 200g
It is everything I have ever wanted in a pipe tobacco. No overbearing casing, just a subtle brown sugar like taste in the background with wonderful aged tobacco flavors at the front. The Dark Fired Kentucky adds its own level of sweetness as well. No... Read More

If there is a better tobacco blend anywhere I haven't found it. This stuff is everything a pipe tobacco should be. It's the right strength, sweet when it should be, smoky when it should be and the epitome of a relaxing, satisfying smoke! I can't reco... Read More

This has become the most regular tobacco I smoke. A hair wet from the tin (nothing a few minutes sitting on my desk won't fix), but a good smoke, nice Virginias, solid Kentuckys. Make it a little smoke, make a big smoke it is great all the time. If I... Read More

This is a splendid smoking mixture. It provides a deep, complex and flavorful smoke. The flake rubs and packs well, ignition and burn are exceptional. This is a thick and creamy treat that can be enjoyed in the afternoon or evening. Deeply satisfyin... Read More

I normaly don't like Dark Fired Kentucky, but this blend has changed my mind. I have had a tin for a few months, and have neglected it due to the Dirk Fired Kentucky. I opened it today and filled a pipe. I am a Vaper smoker and have been smoking the ... Read More

One word...EXCELLENT! I have wanted to try this for the longest time but never found it in stock anywhere. The other day I read on a forum that Smokngpipes.com just got a shipment of PH tobaccos in. I ordered a 200gm tin immediately. I opened the ti... Read More

What can I say. Half way down the bowl you realize this is something special and very satisfying.

They should really show you a photo of the flakes. There is a stripe of Virginia down the middle and then dark Kentucky on either side. They are lots of fun to either take apart and pack the Kentucky first or second. Or you can cross cut it or cube c... Read More

Favorite DFK blend. Very flavourful. Recommended.
Unfortunately, there will probably no longer be a worthy replacement for the departed Orlik Dark Strong of Kentucky

tangy and dried dark fruit. It's a bit subdued by the dark fired Kentucky. A nice deep taste that was not too powerful
Pretty good

It’s a flavorful cool smoke. Try it out. If you don’t like it throw it in a mason jar for 3 to 6 months. It gets better and better.

Excellent taste. After 25 years I’ve tried a lot of flakes and this became a favorite immediately. Not for the meek but very enjoyable and reliable smoke every time

Product: Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake 100g
The Virginias are barely sweet with a touch of citrus. There's an earth note that is sublimated by the grass and hay. The nic-hit is extremely mild. Burns at a moderate pace with no bite or harshness, little moisture in the bowl, and consistently dul... Read More

Joseph G., reviewer below, is correct: This blend needs age. Right out of tin its like buttery smoky pancakes but two days of being open and it oxidizes into a bitey whiskey flavour that's downright unpleasant. But after two years in a jar, my oh my... Read More

The first bowl of these little flakes was amazing. A sweet, sugary and soft anise flavour. I'm not the biggest fan of anise/licorice but combined with the flavour of tobacco and dry wood/barbeque smoke really worked. However, trying this blend sev... Read More

Just about everything you want in a tobacco. Strong, but not overly so. Very full flavored, but the Kentucky smoothes out the VA perfectly so there is no sharp edge - just a rich, satisfying taste. Thick, rich room note that will draw approving glanc... Read More
