One of my daily smokes....just a really good flake, cool burning and very tasty! Easy lite and easy rub! Give it a go if you've a mind to!

One of my faves. Wife hates it, but it tastes so good. There's a sweetness and spicy edge to it.
good to go.

Tin notes of figs, grass and a sour smell. The flakes are an orangish brown and only a little moist, drying not necessary. Rubs out easily. Slow burn and needs relit. The strength is med and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. The taste is med-full and somewhat consistent. I taste notes of sweet grass, wood, floral, bread, Rasin and pepper. Virginias leads with Kentuckey and perique providing backup. Room note is pleasant to tolerable and has a good after taste....Read More
Worse than the original

I loved this blend about 10 years ago when the description included "turkish" and "havana". Then I bought more of it and received a tin that "red virginia slices".
This version is rather uninteresting with a sort sickly sweet smell.

Kolhase&Kopp simply change the blends when it suits them.
This is too different from the original recipe.

Update: The last few tins I purchased were quite nice.

Tasteless. Not worth the price. Don’t stock up on this one. I’d turn back if I were you.
Excellent Va/per

One of my favorites by far but I like terrible tasting and rancid pipe tobacco's so unless you enjoy relighting every 2 minutes, driving all around you away with a foul odor of rotten meats and tasting battery acid in your pipe DON'T BOTHER! It's terrible trust me! I'll buy it all up and spare you all the trouble!...Read More
One of the best

Product: McConnell Scottish Flake 50g
I really enjoy this a lot. It has a lot of good red Va flavor that is nicely complimented by the burley and perique. Stays lit really well and smokes and tastes great in a wide assortment of pipes. Not overly complex but there is enough going on to keep me interested and coming back for more. It burns on the slower side of things and I normally smoke it in a smaller pot or straight apple. This is the best offering I have found from this blender, followed up by folded flake....Read More
More than decent flake

Product: McConnell Scottish Flake 50g
This is a pretty good flake. Tin note is plums, earth and orange zest. Z fold and stuff, with a few threads above, a bit of tamping and I only need one or two relights. Perhaps it's just me but it might get a bit hot if you're not careful. Taste is earthy with a bit of pepper. It's not a very thick smoke but it's pretty tasty....Read More
