I am a Virginia Flake guy after 50 years of smoking everything. This is a First Class tobacco in every way. The biggest negative is that it is hardly available so don’t fall in love with it☺️

I thoroughly enjoy this flake. Tobacco aromas and tastes: semi- sweet, tangy, bready, and earthy. Lots of lovely flavors as you go down the bowl and things unfurl. It's just a little moist out of the tin. I love this stuff.

Stoved virginia and rum. A lot like blockade runner by C&D. Fribourg and Treyer are much overlooked these days. And they shouldnt be. This is, like all their tobacco blends, first rate. The rum is subtle, but its there. And it adds to the coolness. There is a mild casing, as well, but very very very mild. Mostly its a very good Virginia flake with rum....Read More

…But, not for me. When I spied the deep brown flakes in the tin I knew I was looking at fine quality tobacco, here. I wanted to like it. I just didn’t. Has baked bread-like flavors, and further on tastes like a strong cup of Columbian coffee, with a half teaspoon of sugar. I could not detect the rum top note. Just as well I suppose. I prefer my rum in a Cuba Libre. Bitter at times, just not enough sugar for my sweet tooth. Don’t get me wrong, I recognize this as an excellent tobacco, it’s just not my cup of tea (or, coffee, rather). It may end up your favorite. I can sure understand that....Read More

This is exactly what I imagine was smoked in the British navy in the sail days . The rum has a subtle but real presence and the tobacco packs and burns well . one of the finest examples of casing that I have seen.

I love Virginia flakes. They are my mainstay. 75% of my smoking is with pressed Virgina flakes. This is, in my mind, the best Virginia flake that I have ever smoked. It has less tongue bite than any Virginia flake I have ever tried. I have been buying and smoking F&T Vintage Flake for many years and thought it was the best. About a month ago I bought a tin of this, and I couldn't put it down. I smoked the whole 50g tin in a day and a half. I can hardly wait for another shipment to the house....Read More

I am a rum flavor fan. I have tried Cornell & Diehl’s After Hours, Garwith Hoggart's Rum Flake, and now (drum roll please) Fribourg & Treyer's Special Brown Flake. I like them all; however, F & T stands out on top in my opinion. There is a good rum flavor, slight sweetness on the tip of the tong, and a smooth all the way through smoking experience.
In comparison to the others, I would say there is a slight tong bite with each of the others that occurs during the smoke. It reminds you to slow down a little. They both have nice rum aroma but F & T has the most rum taste.
If there is any downside the F & T's Special Brown Flake is that it is al little fast burning and it won't be around much longer. I wish it came in bulk. I would buy it by the pound! If you like rum, this is a must try....Read More

FT 特殊布朗薄片
生草:果香、木香、一点酒韵。
点火后:木香、青草、坚果是类似瓜子仁,花香、一点果香、柑橘、酸梅子。
口腔里面能感受到:果酸、甘甜、蜜甜,随着抽吸,舌尖的甜感会越发明显。
烟气方面:整体新燥,风味清新中带着一些调香,一斗下来,不管是香气还是味道都很稳定。
总的来说,这款草是属于比较平衡的一款,主体风味是类似柑橘混着些许甜坚果的香气,它是属于调了点香气,但是还是能接受的,比较适口。

可能是我搭配果汁的原因,每一口都是浓郁的果甜,不辣口无青草味,补火都出甜,除了前段劲头比较大不适合新手,没什么缺点
