Astley's: No. 109 Medium Flake 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-005-0008

Astley's began as tobacconist located in the upscale shopping district of Jerym Street in London. They contracted pipe makers such as Dunhill, James Upshall, L&JS, and Bill Taylor of Ashton Pipes to make pipes for them, while they mixed fine tobaccos. Astley's No. 109 Medium Flake, is an excellent all-day smoke for lovers of straight Virginia tobacco mixtures.

I've smoked through a tin of the new round tin version of Astley's 109. It no longer has the icky sweet topping that the square tin edition did, and that's definitely an improvement. But on a direct comparison with a pipeful of the old round tin th... Read More

I have no idea what reviewers who talk of strange tastes and toppings are thinking, the round tins I have been smoking over the last years have no added flavourings. What you do get is a very high quality medium VA flake which is ideal for its purpo... Read More

This is quite simply the best tobacco to smoke when you want a really full Va flake . Strong but really delicate in it's own way . The ideas tobacco for walking the dog on a cold winter night in new York . The dog loved it too .
