If you like peterson navy Deluxe rolls or presbyterian ordained- this is straight up your alley. The to note is absolutely amazing. Lighting it up after a year of cellering is extremely good. I can't imagine how this will taste and smell after a few more years of cellering. You can tell as soon as you light it, that is extreme quality. Please do not buy them all. I want to have a few more tins....Read More

A little spicy.Some very pleasant honey notes, . Easy going. All the tobaccos I've tried from Dan have been outstanding quality. It meshes harmoniously with the natural sweetness of the Virginias. The downside is the high price...
Wonderful VA Perique Blend

A Family Favorite, especially outdoors after a long days work. Not Mild in taste and far from Strong or potent, wonderful aroma, my uncle always has a few tins of this at his place. I prefer to dry it out a bit personally beforehand, Medium Nic Hit and some Nice Bite and After Taste, not for the Mild Crowd or for all day and night smoking in my opinion.......Read More
I Can’t Pronounce It But I Can Smoke It

A lovely, light Virginia flake that’s pleasing to lovers of lighter blends. Packaged beautifully in a pile of evenly cut flakes with a beautiful piece of paper draped over the slices. Comes ready to smoke. I did not dry the blend I just folded and stuffed it. Beautiful Virginia/ Per flake (among the best in my opinion). Exceptionally creamy and sure to please almost everyone. A wonderful bowl to start or finish the day. Room note is very pleasant....Read More
An exceptional Virginia flake.

Tordenskjold Virginia Slices is worthy of praise by any Virginia fan. It is a fairly light smoke with a good bit of flavor and has an all-day easiness to it. It is a blend of mature red and bright VA with a touch of the Perique. If you like tea-like Virginias with a hint of sourdough, this should be very pleasant for you. If however you enjoy a Perique punch, this may lack the oomph you're used to. The flakes are thin with a naturally sweet Virginia aroma. I don't smell or taste any topping whatsoever. The impression one gets from a fresh tin is that it's already been aged for more than a few years. The flakes are uniform and neat, easy to prepare regardless of the packing method you use, and they hold high consistency of form, texture, and taste. The moisture of the flakes seem perfect; never too dry nor wet. The price is not bad for an imported tobacco either. Availability can be sparse, but it comes around more often than say, Germain or Rattray's blends. I'm not sure if it's because of availability, or close-to-the-vest secrecy, or lack of online discussion, but Tordenskjold rarely gets the attention given to similar flakes that people clamor for. Personally, I think it deserves more and I'm happy to do so. Enjoy....Read More

All the tobaccos I've tried from Dan have been outstanding quality. This is no different. Easily crumbled flake that is of perfect moisture. This isn't a mild tobacco as some reviews suggest. There is a light and pleasant sweet top note but barely noticeable; it meshes harmoniously with the natural sweetness of the Virginias....Read More

But it doesn't step into the top ten. A little spicy, burns pretty hot, decent nicotine, not a lot of depth. Some very pleasant honey notes, but that's kind of it. Easy going, but again, doesn't step into the rotation unless I wanted to smoke without really paying attention.

Although this is a real good flake it becomes a great slake if you let it age a few years . I found a few cans that I had misplaced for about 4 years and WOW

As all the Dan Tobaccos, this is no exception. Excellent Virginias combined with just a touch of perique, which come and go during the smoke. Very mild and pleasant when you want something light and fresh during the morning or even just before the end of the day. A flake very easy to deal with. Burns slow and even and offers a cool and enjoyable smoke. I will buy it again!...Read More
Super Mild Virginia

Super mild, and a super blend, if mild is what you are after. Great first pipe of the morning. Mild honey flavored casing. Maybe the best thing out there for novices. Like light beer for Virginia lovers. Tastes great, but less filling.
