John Aylesbury: Sir John's Flake Virginia 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-036-0004

To be quite frank, John Aylesbury isn't an actual person. Instead, he represents a collective of German tobacconists who united under a single name. They specialize in distributing a variety of pipe brands, while also featuring their own line of premium pipe tobaccos.

A flake tobacco for pure Virginia lovers, Sir John's Flake Virginia from John Aylesbury is an elegant and mellow smoke marked by a subtly sweet top note and delightful natural Virginia flavor.

Well same thing with this - I spent quite a while trying to like it and persevered to the end of tin, but in the end, it just turned out to be not for me. Hot, steamy flavorless tongue bite is all that comes to mind when recalling this tobacco. i als... Read More
