Product: Fribourg & Treyer Vintage Flake 50g
新烟丝开了，抽了。觉得还好，作为新生产的烟丝而言，还好。该体现的坚果味、力度、香气以及微微的甜度都有，斗温比F·T的布朗切片稍低，期待几年后的变化。

Presentation is nice. The flakes are neat, moist and soft. I absolutely love it. The tin note is like grains, oats, sultanas and raisins, but the raisin notes don't come through in the taste. I let this dry for a bit to keep the heat low for smoking ... Read More
and make the combustion better. You could probably smoke it at tin moisture, but I prefer not to risk the tongue bite.
In the smoke I get notes of of topping of vanilla, sweet bread, slight honey, fermented overripe banana, cashew sweetness, shortbread cookie, some spice which is kind of tingly on the tongue and on the retrohale, oats, some molasses, a nuttiness develops, sultanas, some wood notes, a floral aspect too, pastry notes. Sometimes it seems like there is a vanilla note, and maybe cocoa. The end of the bowl is okay. It gets quite smokey and earthy with some spice, yet there is still an underlying sweetness. I get the barest hint of cinnamon and brown sugar as well.
Nicotine strength is maybe medium, for me, and so is the tobacco strength. The taste is medium. There are a lot of flavors.
What makes this Virginia flake special is the sweetness and spiciness and slight pungency of the fermented taste quality. It also gets earthier than most Virginia flakes, and when I say "earthy", I mean like soil or mustiness of wood. Things like that. It's similar to Capstan blue in it's sweet, oat-like taste, but the fermented taste is unique, and different than the fermented taste imparted by Perique in Virginia Perique flakes. It's a pretty rich, tasty straight Virginia flake, and a good expression of Virginia complexity. Read Less

This is my favorite pipe tobacco of all time. Yes, the seemingly unremarkable -but perfectly crafted Flake. It was one of the first nonaromatic tobaccos I ever tried. Since then, I have smoked tins of easily over 50 different blends from every kind ... Read More
of blending style I could find. I always come back to this wonderfully consistent straight Virginia flake . It smells like hay with a hint of ketchup when you open the tin (I remember wondering what the hell I'd gotten myself into when I opened my first tin) it lights and burns great. I find it seems especially flavorful in small bowl sizes. If you are wondering what people mean by "sweet Virginias" in a blend, this is a great place to start. I still don't feel like I am explaining it quite right but it has a natural (no flavoring added) smell when burning like a chocolate cake baking and coffee brewing and just a hint of good teriyaki chicken. ...except even better. I'm doing a terrible job describing it but here's the bottom line: There are more complex, more remarkable, more unique blends out there and most of them are great, but it burning in the bowl turns into something so good, I haven't figured out a way to explain it yet. Just try it, and see if I'm crazy or not. Read Less

Sharp, fermented bread notes from the tin. All the flavors under the rainbow once lit. If you can’t find this in stock I suggest Wessex Brown Flake. It’s very similar.
Perhaps underrated

This flake is stronger than many straight Virginia flakes, to me. There is a wonderful fermented character to the taste, but not like Perique. It has a range of sweet and earthy flavors, and it's on the oats, cereal, bread end of the Virginia spectru... Read More
m with enough fruit notes to make it all the more interesting. Sometimes it is even buttery. Great blend. Read Less

Everything you could hope for in a straight VA flake. Perfect for summertime - does not bite when pushed & could be enjoyed all day due to its smoothness. Top notch
Excellent !!!

Among the best straight virginia, now that McClelland is out of business. Smooth naturally sweet, reminds me of virginia flakes from thirty years ago.
Taste & aroma!

I've smoked this tobacco for years. It generates mild and tasty smoke. The tin note is just scrumptious, and the room note is good too. My favorite German restaurant has an outdoor, canvas-covered seating area where smoking is permitted, and often... Read More

F&T Vintage: good starter flake

Good tasting if somewhat unremarkable straight Virginia flake. It is precisely what I would recommend to a newbie who wanted to sample a representative member of the Va. flake genre. There’s lots of quality here, but nothing distinctive – no pizzazz.... Read More
