Butera: Royal Vintage: Golden Cake 50g Pipe Tobacco

A top flight Va..flake...not heavily stoved at all, but pressed and slightly fermented. Its just excellent and much neglected. If you like McClelland flakes then this is among the best.

This is a real sleeper , no one knows about it . This high quality Virginia simply does not quit .Forget the vinegar stuff , it's not true

Tin aroma is typical McClelland with citrus notes. Lemon Virginia when un toasted and left in its mostly original state gives extreme sweetness, very high notes and a fine citrus taste like a Chinese sweet & sour chicken sauce almost. Unnoticeable room note which is neither pleasant or offensive, it's just there, and is also very thin not thick with body like a black Cavendish. A fine summertime smoke that's very refreshing when it is 115* outside, basically the complete opposite of say Nightcap which is one of my favorite wintertime smokes. Very unique Golden Flake that must be tried, not many make an all Gold tobacco flake and McClelland does it the best!...Read More

Tangy, respectable Virginia flakes of golden hue. This is best after you've opened the tin,replaced the lid and waited a few months. While you're waiting, the tobacco seems to go through some kind of transformation. Sweet, rounded and heavenly.

This flake smokes smoothly, so much that at the beginning seems hard to get its flavor. Just when your are wondering where is the Golden cake, it hits you with a globed fist full complex aromas... Enjoy!
