About This Pipe Tobacco
Hans "Former" Nielsen began carving pipes in 1956 and has since become a legend of Danish pipe artistry with a worldwide following. In addition to his exquisite pipes, he's released his own line of pipe tobaccos — several of the blends fittingly named after briar's grain patterns.
A traditional, naturally sweet flake tobacco prepared with only the finest grade of Virginia leaf with a pinch of Perique, Former's Cross Grain Flake is aged to perfection in order to bring out the best in this cool smoking, magnificent flake.

A fuller flavored surprise

ual experience with flakes. I intended to roll them out but found that they crumpled easily without effort. This blend proved to be a fuller-flavored surprise. Smoking a VaPer that was reminiscent of a Burley mixture in its richness was entirely unexpected. It burned a bit hot at first but a slower cadence rectified that quickly. It burns well with no annoying moisture and I experienced no bite at all. The room note is tolerable, with a darkly sweet fresh bread aroma. This is a superb blend which should age well. It was a fresh tin but had the mellow characteristics of a slightly aged tobacco. Definitely worth checking out if you're a Virginia or VaPer aficionado. Given its reasonable price, it is something of a bargain....Read More

My favorite vaper by far. I'm generally more of a burley and English smoker but this stuff is amazing. Smells like baked goods in the tin and it smokes magnificently. Sweet and spicy. Perfection.
