From good to better.
August 09, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Virginia Flake Bulk
As i'm typing this review, i'm clenching the fifth bowl of this broken flake virginia.
Consecutively, from bowl after bowl my impression to this tobacco goes from good to better.
I have had no tongue bite or maybe just a light bite and i would easil... Read More
y forget it by sipping my cup of hot coffee with milk, i've once smoked this while drinking a can of chilled beer and .... just fine, the slightly bite will be "gone with the drinks".
It has a very natural tobacco aroma and just like anyone would describe a natural virginia: bready, fresh baked muffin, hay, grass, honey, citrus etc. this tobacco has all of those characteristics and very easy to recognize right out from the bag, dive your nose into the bag and you'll notice all those aromas, you need to be a perfumer to identify them.
The taste is light sweet, very light, you need to smoke slow to taste it. A fast smoker will throw this bag away right after the very first bowl, and also a heavy cigarette smoker would do the same because its strength is on the mild side.
For those who are able to clench your pipe while working daily and those who are able to spend an hour and a half for a group 3 bowl, this tobacco is for you.
For the "home blender" this is perfection.
If you're not one of those, don't bother buy this. Read Less
물을 너무 많이 넣은 된장국
December 13, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Virginia Flake Bulk
이건 분명 순수버지니아이다. 하지만 풀버지니아 플레이크를 먹어본사람은 분명 이럴것이다. 이건뭐지?! 왜 이리 싱겁지? 풀버지니아플레이크같이 고소하고 달콤한맛은 거의없다고 볼수있다. 하지만 이또한 이연초를 좋아하는사람은 있을것이다. 왜냐면 달콤하고 고소한맛을 싫어하거나 접해보지않은 사람은 분명 좋아할꺼라 본다. 마치 된장국에다 물을 많이 넣은듯한 밍숭한맛이다.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Virginia Flake 2oz
This broken flake comes as other well-known selections from C&D, with perfect moisture and easy and cool burning. As you progressed through the bowl, it soon picks up strength, easily reaching the "medium" level. It burns with nice whit... Read More
e ash, and consistently so throughout the bowl. As such, the overall behavior of this Virginia (broken) Flake is quite good. However, it lacks taste and sweetness. You know you are smoking something there with some good strength and quality (like a glass os sparkling water), but it does not rise to the palate with noticeable features, save of a regular bready, hay, slightly citrus, and even "farmy" kind of tobacco with a tiny hint of sweetness. It does get a little bit better towards the end, but in general. It does not satisfy the overall taste experience for me. Likely, it is a good tobacco for blending, especially with burleys. It leaves a fairly good taste in the mouth after the smoke. This is not for me though, but maybe I will try blending something with it. Read Less
Baked bread broken flake!
November 22, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Virginia Flake Bulk
C&D's Virginia Flake is relatively new to me (at the time of this review). It's not new, but with C&D offering so many Virginia-based tobaccos that seem to get more attention and praise, I simply overlooked THE Virginia Flake. I had just fini... Read More
shed a tin of Carolina Red Flake, and as good as it is, it wasn't the right VA for what I was craving. I enjoy every VA I try to some degree, but I find myself searching for a taste that I know is possible but unfortunately is not always present, namely, a yeasty baked sour dough flavor. On a whim I took advantage of smokingpipes.com's CHAT feature and asked Kaye Farinelli a simple question: “What's the breadiest VA you have for me to try?” I half expected her to say something I was already familiar with, but She quickly asked around for opinions, and came back with “C&D Virginia Flake”. It was an excellent recommendation and exactly what I was looking for. I've been unable to put this down since I got it. It's a broken flake that benefits from further rubbing out and I let it dry out a little. It's not moist, in fact it's fine to smoke right away, but drier tobacco lights easier, burns more evenly, and improves flavor IMO, especially with slowly sipped Virginias. Dare I say I enjoyed it more than CRF? That's about all I can say given my brief introduction. I've only had an ounce so far, but I'll be sure to buy more. As good as it is, this is definitely one to jar up and age a few years. This flavor bomb should only improve with time. If you enjoy the taste of baked bread from Virginia tobaccos and have not tried C&D's Virginia Flake, you are missing out on one of the best and surprisingly underrated VA around. Enjoy. Read Less
Nice Tang, Excellent Blending Component

Product: Cornell & Diehl Virginia Flake Bulk
This tobacco is and excellent blending component. It pairs really well with white burley. It has a rather sweet and citrusy profile, but it can be boring if smoked on its own.

5 yr old jar note of sugary spices, sharp hay and mild stewed sour fruit. Tobacco is a reddish orange broken flake. Moisture is good to go, Flakes rub out fairly easily. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. No... Read More
flavoring detected. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of sweet bread, wood, tangy citrus, orange peel/zest, floral, hay, mild lemon, spice, acidic, mild fruit, a sweet grassy background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

An excellent Virginia Flake. It's almost bone dry when you receive it but the steam towel trick rehydrates it perfectly. No review description needed as the flavor profiles are perfectly described in the blend description.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Virginia Flake Bulk
I have several pounds of this one aging. At it's best it will deliver a delicate and delicious honey sweetness. If you're a Virginia fan, try this. If not, try this and you might be. That it's designed to be a blender is irrelevant. It's just good.
C&D VA Flake: My Favorite!

Not only my favorite Flake, my favorite tobacco. Smooth, fragrant, long-lasting, cool burning. I;m saddened that it's recently been out of stock or back-ordered so much.

I don't have anything bad to say about this tobacco. Similar to Lane's 125th. I like the chip/flake aspect of this. Packs easily and came perfectly dry to smoke. No relights with this and smoked dry and cool all the way to the bottom, even with my fa... Read More
