I enjoy Capstan, but at $24 a tin, it gets expensive, so I decided to try Mac Beran Virginia Flake. I was not disappointed, as the tobacco is quite excellent. The small tin and foil wrapping give a similar experience to Capstan, with a gold rather than blue presentation. The tin note offers a sweet citrus aroma that is very pleasing, and the moist, easy-to-rub flakes prepared the tobacco well for my pipe. The smoke can be hot, so a slow draw is recommended. It smokes steadily from start to finish, and I can easily draw out the citrus flavors. I have already bought two more tins and a six-year-aged tin to try. This will definitely become part of my weekly rotation, along with my Capstan Blue....Read More

I think I got my tin from p&c, so apologies to smoking pipes. Tin presentation was clean, as was the flavour and almost everything else about these thin flakes. Clean and bright. Left practically no residue in the bowl. Creamy, tea and hay, slightly citrusy. Emblemic of what a good Virginia could and should be. One dimensional and not very complex at all, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. In fact, I would say these flakes are exactly what you would expect a pure Virginia to be. Could be an all day smoke for some. For me, I prefer something with a little more oomph, but of course, that is purely subjective to my tastes. Good stuff...Read More

Another straight forward good Virginia. Nice with sweet tea.

Nothing really special about this flake in my opinion. The flavors don't really develop too much and stay pretty consistent all the way through. The topping on this one is a little bit cloying to me, not a huge fan. The room not is amazing though! Worth trying at least once.
