First of all, I want to apologize for my behavior because next I start cursing people. I am from China. I apologize for the stupid behavior of my compatriot "蓝一斗". I also advise "蓝一斗", please don't come out to embarrass the Chinese people again.

One flake, torn in half and stuffed/folded, ragged side up into a trusty old Deluxe Milano billiard, is just right for a long, slow, easy smoke. Stays lit during the occasional pause and tastes great the rest of the time. I’m a recent flake convert and that format has advantages. This example is proof positive of a well married blend with good flavor and aroma. The burning characteristic is a big plus. I’ve almost always fought with ribbon cut just to keep it lit but not this stuff. It’s a bit easier than cube cut to handle. I like it and can’t find fault with it at all....Read More

This is like Orlik but you can taste the perique, yet it's still not too spicy. It is perfect. Just to let you know, I'm not like all these other rubes who give everything 5 stars even if it's lacking. It really has to earn that last star for me. This is truly the best bulk va/per. PS400 would take the top spot if you didn't have to age it a year to get rid of the bitterness. What makes a va/per great for me is not only the sweetness, but the smoothness. This? Like butter, baby. And to think it will get even better with age? I think I'm aroused....Read More

It's very sorry to hear that Evening Flak may have been discontinued!
It's my favorite tobacco.
Delicious and multi-faceted.

This one is absolutely wonderful. A perfectly soft slice of lightly rummy, sweet tobacco. Rubs out easily and packs well. Lights nicely and stays lit fairly well. Starts with the peppery taste of the perique with some soft sweetness of the Va building. Halfway through you get the sweet hay/bread flavor and finally the rum and dark fruit flavor blooms. I love this stuff and will be picking up a pound once it restocks....Read More

I hate to smoke VA flakes, they always burn my tongue, but Evening Flake was worth my effort. Natural sweetness with rich and peppery undertones, it starts with the classic flavors of graham, hay, oats, and citrus in every puff - then it leaves you gripping your chair with a nice nicotine buzz and spices. That continues consistently down to the ashes. Honestly, this is one of the tastiest VA flakes I've ever had....Read More
Excellent Virginia with a tad bit of Perique.

For a bulk VA/Per flake, this is about the best I’ve found. AS with most VA/Pers this will benefit with aging for some time. Perfect moisture content and the flakes can easily be folded or rubbed out. I always prefer to rub them out a bit over folding and stuffing into my bowl.Citrus tones are predominant when new with notes of hay, grass and freshly baked bread. A mild and very natural sweetness with every puff. There is definitely Perique in the background and it lends a light peppery undertone to the mix. Pleasant aftertaste. As with most VA/Pers this can bite if you get too excited while smoking, but this mellows out with some age. I’d recommend purchasing enough to cellar for a few years and smoke through the stages of aging....Read More

Smells very sweet with a bit of vanilla. Upon lighting a friend commented on how sweet it smelled. You could chew on all the flavor going on like a good piece of sourdough bread.
As it is aging it is losing the initial vanilla like top note and turning to citrus. Really good stuff.
Another 5 Star Stokkebye Flake

Why the five star review? Some people may reserve this only for Esoterica-esq blends. I either dislike, enjoy or really enjoy a tobacco. This is worthy of top honors. Don’t let the ‘evening’ name confuse you. This is a morning, noon and nighttime smoke that will be a best seller in a few months right up there with their Navy flake. Slightly lighter than their LNF. The hot pressing imparts something I can’t quite articulate but is wonderful. Luxury Navy Flake, in my humble opinion, is one of the top ten bulk tobaccos available all the time (Lancer Slices are my favorite). Now we have a new member (is it new or just new to us here in USA?) that will be held in the same regard as the classic. The Stokkebye name means quality tobacco and this flake is so good I hate to even write a review. The flakes are beautiful. I’ve said this before but Stokkebye takes a lot of pride in producing fine tobacco and has done so for many generations. There’s a lot to love for everyone in this flake. Virginia’s are soft and delicious. Virginia’s are 75% of the taste and just like Navy flake are extremely mellow, mild and flavorful. The Perique adds a smokiness that lends itself to all day smoking. The strength is manageable by even the most nicotine affected smokers. I put one flake on a plate and rolled it out into a rough ribbon cut. I also fold flakes and stuff them. If you smoke a small bowl you can easily fold this flake and get an extra 30 minutes of smoking due to the amount of compressed tobacco you don’t get from a ribbon cut. Had the pleasure of smoking this out of an unsmoked Stanwell. The soft smokey flavor is a beautiful bouquet of floral and spice. Exactly the quality and experience you would expect from such a beloved tobacco company. I have no doubt many of you will have this in your rotation very soon....Read More
