Aromatic

Product: John Aylesbury Classic Flake 50g
This blend is topped to the point it’s an aromatic I don’t like aromatics. I will jar this for a few years and see if some of that goes away but highly disappointed. When I see VA flake I want a pure tobacco experience.

Sweet and smooth.
Contains Latakia?

Product: John Aylesbury Classic Flake 50g
There is no recipe written on the package, but the pipe I use is also a 320ks smoked V-grass, why can I get the flavor of Latakia? ? It's interesting, but it's not the taste of red Virginia as imagined. It smells like tropical fruit and slightly milky, but it does have the taste of Latakia when I smoke it. I smoked 2 slices in a row....Read More

The dry and wet tobacco is just right, ready to eat right out of the can. Naturally pure Virginia tobacco, not so sweet, lightly fruity, hay.
why?
March 23, 2021
Product: John Aylesbury Classic Flake 50g
The Virginias are barely sweet with a touch of citrus. There's an earth note that is sublimated by the grass and hay. The nic-hit is extremely mild. Burns at a moderate pace with no bite or harshness, little moisture in the bowl, and consistently dull flavor. Needs an average number of relights. The after taste is hardly noticeable....Read More

Product: John Aylesbury Classic Flake 50g
In my opinion trying to be objective is a futile endeavor. As is having an ego in any arena that is all about personal taste. This one really doesn't do it for me.. and.. I think it is a quality product.. I find it mild and boring... not really much flavor of the leaf.. it smokes well and has a resemblance to many other flakes.. kind of in the realm of capstan, dunhill flake, orlik, etc.. it has a clear topping/casing but not obtrusive.. for some reason, although I want to like it, I just find it meh.. but I think it is worth a try cause it is certainly not bad and may be just the thing for someone.. one of the few tobaccos that has given me complements on its aroma.. I've got one in the cellar to age but overall not really one way or the other about it....Read More

Product: John Aylesbury Classic Flake 50g
for whatever reason, this flake is just not widely known. And is often unavailable. But when you find it, i suggest you buy a few tins. This is a fine medium strength pure virginia flake. A bit like Veermaster by dan tobacco or F&Ts Vintage flake. Only this is a bit darker perhaps, and with great natural sweetness....Read More
Delicious refined taste

Product: John Aylesbury Classic Flake 50g
I am still somewhat new with pipe tobacco coming from 10 years of cigar smoking. This is at the top of my list right now. Smooth, delicate, flavor. Little moist right out of tin. Dried 20 minutes and rubbed it out with no issues. Packed beautifully and burned down to the bottom of the bowl. Can get a bit warm if overworked but takeoff it slow, it stays nice a cool. A very classic blend that I will certainly be giying more of....Read More

I picked up a tin of this at my local brick and mortar and it's a really good tobacco. Rubs out well and has a mild sweetness and clean virginia taste. I find I reach for this more than my usual English blends.
