Favorite Peterson Flake
March 30, 2017
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Nice, well rounded VA/Burley flake here. The plum topping is more predominantly in the tin and room notes rather than in taste and is so very pleasing. I have a Bjarne pipe designated to a fold-n-stuff filling of University Flake. It lights well a... Read More
nd burns without issue. I forgot about a tin in the back of the cupboard for a few years. Man, this ages well! I just bought a few tins to "lose" again. Don't let it dry out. I prefer to keep it a little damp (as its tinned) and just know that I'll need to sit a flake out for a few hours before smoking. Sit it out with your morning bowl and load this for some afternoon delight. This is in my regular rotation for when I need something a little lighter and a little sweeter. Read Less
Very Pleasant

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
This is a great easy smoking blend with a pleasant room aroma to it. There is a bit of sweetness to it, and maybe a topping, (I believe it's plum or berries) but I still enjoy it very much. I like to use this blend to break in new pipes.
Plum Fantastic

I first experienced this flake at a local brick and mortar store and fell in love with it. The plum topping is evident in the tin note but not overly sweet after the char light. One of my top tobaccos.
My all-day.

This is hands down my favorite flake, even though I typically smoke VaPers. I can (and do sometimes) go bowl to bowl on this one. I love cubing it, but it folds great too. A nice burley taste predominates, and I haven't been bit yet.
A True Staple

Given my first sample as a gift. Very dark, rich, and hearty. A satisfying blend with notes of malt and stewed fruit. I get real cravings for this smoke every few days and simply no other tobacco will do when what you want is a pipeful of UF.
One of the good ones.

Of the Peterson tobaccos that I've had, this is one of my favorite. Great tin and room notes and a very pleasant smoke. For me, the plum comes through to the flavor, though it's very subtle.

Great smoke
Very Berry

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
This is a very nice, complex smoke with a full body and a medium nicotine strength. I most definitely enjoy it as it can remind me of blueberry pancakes at times. The berry flavoring can be a bit too much for me at times so I tend to smoke this one a... Read More

Seems that the amount you get is Less then what's is stated in the New round tins seems they are weighing the tin along with the amount of tobacco I weigh the tobacco and it comes to just 33grams what a Ripoff.
A new favorite!

This tobacco is amazing. Great taste and no bite, I really love a plum topping. You can't go wrong with this flake.
Can't Get into it

The flavours are dark and subdued. This flake bit my tongue like hell. I'm not too big on burley, that may be why.

Good medium strength flake. Nice topping and burn. Much better than Erinmore Flake.
Good smoke!

This is one of the few Peterson blends that I really like. The plum topping is good. It packs just enough punch to get you where you're going.
Nice flake with plum topping

This is very similar to Erinmore Flake, but stronger and with a distinct plum topping. Smokes nicely, deep flavors. A nice flake to have in the cupboard for occasional smokes.

Upon opening the customary square tin of flakes you are grested with an earthy,fruity aroma resembling that of Erinmore flakes. But make no mistake. This is nothing alike. Maybe except in the generous amount if virginia in both. The flakes are well p... Read More
ressed and presented in a fashion worthy of Peterson name. It packs easily but I discovered that packing it as a flake makes it hard to light and keep lit. As it seems it was well pressed. So breaking the flakes as I did or rubbing it would be better. Once it is packed like that, it shone. Grassy, smoky virginias takes over with a little hint of nutiness at times and fruitiness at others. It is well rounded, all day virginia smoke. And I couldn't help to make the connection of this as a milder version of Davidoff Flake medallions Read Less

It is good, just not great. With other better blends like this out there, for my tastes, this is forgettable
Nice smoke.

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Scored some of this stuff from a friend and I must say it's pretty decent. Not the most flavorful as other virgina/burley I've had. This stuff stays lit forever. Only had to fire up the bowl twice.
Smooth, satisfying

Newbie? Previous ciggarette smoker? UF is a must have. Gradually experiment on other blends, although newbies tend to go for aromatic blends for a start

Very pleasant smoke, not my favorite, but good to keep a tin around.
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
I've revisited this blend after trying it several years ago. The fruit topping is most notable on the initial light. It takes a more or less prominent role throughout, partially muting the tobaccos more or less. The after taste is the most memorable ... Read More

compared to irish flake with similar tobaccos this is bland. Initial impressions I squirmed at the taste.
One of the best

this was one of my first virginias and still my favorite. There is a slight plum topping that comes out in the smoke. It is very subtle and sweet, it doesn't taste like a chemical. Most of the flavor is a mellow va taste, mild but flavorful.
Best Va flake to me

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Some people tastes some plum aroma, but not me. I swear I can't feel any chemical aroma, only the sweet fundamental note of Virginia, which is pretty strong but rounded up by the burley.

Tastes like a cigar. Kind of strong to me. If I wanted to smoke a cigar, I would smoke a cigar. I don't want a cigar in my pipe. Lol

I picked this up the other day due to the fact that so many people seem to like it. It was a good call. I'm not a heavy or all day smoker. Most of the time it's with a cup of coffee on the back patio in the morning or at social events in the evening.... Read More
So I tend to look for something fairly low in vitamin N and not a Lat bomb. This flake seems to fit the bill well. Just for information sake I tend to prefer to rub out my flakes as opposed to the fold and stuff method. I allowed the flake to dry for about twenty minuets then loosely rubbed it out leaving it fairly long strands. I found it to have a light scent of raspberries in a very present and not overpowering way. The tobacco smoked and packed nicely. I believe that his could be an easy all day smoke if I were that type of person. The taste was mild to medium in strength and had a pleasant aroma. I definitely plan on purchasing more for cellaring and regular use. If you are a flake fan or just curious you definitely need to give this one a try. Read Less

This is an excellent flake to smoke. It retains a certain spicy quality. Very nice to be able to rub out your own flake according to the size you desire to fill your pipe. This goes amazingly well with a good glass of Bourbon!!!!

Love the aroma, very sweet, just as John C. said, it has a plum taste. My first pipe, (ordered just a bit ago) was a Peterson Killarney XL02 P-lip, and as a promo. I was allowed to pick any Peterson tobacco for free. I got this one. It is very smoot... Read More

I can't get enough of this blend. I like to keep a tin nearby just to open and take in the aroma when I'm not smoking. I have more Peterson pipes than any other brand (my family are Irish) and I find it fitting to smoke University flake through them.... Read More
I like mild, cool smoke, and I don't need to make a trade off on taste with this. The Mahogany/Burley/Virginia ratio is bang on. I'm very proud of my stack of tins. Read Less
