Great Smoke
December 28, 2018
Product: Sillem's Commodore Flake 50g
What a great smoke. For a blend that purportedly has around 75% latakia, it doesn't come off as the huge LatBomb it appears to be, though it is a very rich and flavorful smoke. Masterful blend. Flavor profile to me is akin to G&H 1792 flake or t... Read More
heir dark flakes. In fact, I would recommend this to anyone that's looking for something similar to a 1792 style blend that doesn't have the Tonquin/Lakeland essence or the near-lethal volumes of Nicotine that 1792 has. I'll be picking up another handful or two of tins as soon as they're restocked. Read Less

Product: Sillem's Commodore Flake 50g
Beautiful tin note aromatic like, smells of fermented fruit, moist dark flakes. This smokes very well Latakia plays a good role as does the burley without one playing center stage. A good amount of nicotine, Leaves a nice sweet aftertaste. Buying mor... Read More

If you're looking for a smooth, full flavored tobacco with a pleasant room-note that doesn't bite, give this a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Interesting Dark Fired blend.

There's a topping on this which is very reminiscent of Revor Plug (an odd whiff of blueberries or slows) it gives it a bit of a perfumed or an incense/spice quality but it's savoury, not sweet.
It is identical to Robert McConnell's Latakia Flake but... Read More
I suspect the Latakia content is far lower than advertised and the KY is higher with quite a chunk of high quality cavendished tobacco which adds to the creaminess of this smoke.
A very nice and smooth smoke though, with nice florals and best not dried out too thoroughly. Read Less
Top Tier English Flake

As a seasoned Islay scotch drinker, I look for tobacco blends that can keep pace with the palate. Commodore Flake isn't an overwhelming tower of smoke, but it is extremely flavorful with a salty allure. I highly recommend it!

Product: Sillem's Commodore Flake 50g
It's rich, earthy and has a tinge of an sweet aromatic quality. It has a very pleasant uniform flavor throughout the bowl. Top of the line. Will be buying again
Great if you like bold flavours

Rich, deep, satisfying smoke. It reminds me of Revor Plug, which I understand is not available in the US.
Unexpected delight

Product: Sillem's Commodore Flake 50g
Purchased this on the strength of one of Shane‘s reviews and came back to get three more tins. It’s not at all the Latakia bomb that I thought it might be and I love the cedary piney fragrance. I have to say the room note does linger a bit and my wif... Read More
e could still smell it on my face several hours later and she wasn’t a big fan so this is one when I am on a hunting trip or home alone for a bit. Love the voluminous clouds of smoke. And it’s very cool. Highly recommend. Read Less
Excellent in every way

This is a fabulous blend with many subtle flavor notes. Smoke it slow and don't be distracted by the outside world. It is a conemplative smoke.
Nice latakia blend.

Pick your favorite pipe load up and set sail for full English blend satisfaction! Long burning, medium-full body and smooth taste. A very satisfying smoke.

How ironic that there is a faithful looking retriever on the front of the tin.....
The only thing that's missing, is the accompanying freshly laid 'lawn turd' situated right behind mans best friend in said picture.....Because that's what this bland ... Read More

It seems this tobacco may have be an excellent choice 2005 or earlier but then went downhill from there - unless the reviews from 2005 or earlier on this page aren't to be trusted which is unlikely. Perhaps there is hope for this tobacco with some ag... Read More
ing, but as it is out of the tin you are going to smoke tobacco that tastes like smoke. Not smoked lamb, smoked salmon or smoked unicorn but tastes like smoked smoke. The fragrance of this tobacco unsmoked in the tin is outstanding. The tobacco has since moved to a glass jar, but the tin is still saturated with the wonderful fragrance of this tobacco blend. The room-note smoked is nothing like the rich unsmoked fragrance and was closer to the flavor which is (drumroll) smoke. As for the latakia or virginia, I couldn't make out any distinctions and some of that may be due to my inexperience of parsing tobacco leaf types, but even as I sipped the pipe and tried to keep smoke to a minimum, had an urge to quit right there and immediately brush my teeth. Spoiled with so many brands and blends keep looking elsewhere. Read Less
