Peterson: Flake 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-050-0067

When Dunhill announced it would no longer be producing tobacco, pipe smokers rued the loss of some of their favorite mixtures. Thanks to Peterson, however, those beloved blends are still available. They're the same recipes and feature the same tin art as Dunhill's, just re-branded for Peterson.

Flake is a medium-strength flake of selected grades of Lemon and Bronze Virginias. It was one of Dunhill's most expert blends, now offered here from Peterson.

Nice Virginia flake, definitely quality tobacco. All the standard Virginia descriptions apply, citrus, hay, bready, blah, etc. However, it's like hugging my sister. Sure, it's nice to hug my sister when we meet but it's nothing to get excited about. It can be a nice smoke if your in a slump and just don't know what you want, you just want to smoke your pipe....Read More
Seems very Blasé

For a “expert blend”, not much flavor or room note at all. I wanted to try a flake by it seems bothersome. I am not getting this blend at all as compared to Morning Pipe. Really seems like a waste of money.
In the Top 5 of VA Flakes

There's some average iterations of VA flakes out there which lack the fermented malty sweetness which encompasses sugar, hay, citrus and pastries... this isn't one of those average iterations. I place it squarely among the top 5 VA flakes. It's reminiscent of Sam Gawith FVF, but lacks the topping which boosts the flavor. It has the same citrusy sharpness that can nip with a little spice now and again. While it lacks the full flavor of FVF, this is decidedly cleaner/purer, though not quite at the level of Mc Baren HH Virginia (that's in a class of its own). I've cellared quite a bit of this and can state that the sugary citrus notes become more mellow, less sharp after 5 years, but this is one I enjoy fresh as well. Just smoke it cool and enjoy. Don't expect gobs of smoke from this. The nicotine is 2.5 out of 5, and is in line with most VA flakes....Read More

This has been a favorite for a long time. Sweet flavors of hay and bread hit very well. Definitely one for the cellar.

Sometimes you just want a calm, easy pipefull. This delivers in spades! Simple to light, rarely if ever needs relighting. Doesn't overwhelm with flavor and the room note is subtle and inoffensive.

It's better than the Mac Baren VA Flake, but not quite FVF.
I love the smell!

I can open a tin and sniff on this stuff all day but not a fan of smoking it. Too light and lacking depth and flavor for my taste. Maybe one day, I’ll learn to appreciate it.
Still just right,

This flake still has the fresh bright zip, and sweet/ sour flavor as when Dunhill prepared this product. Exquisite rectangular medium brown flakes that need some drying time. Lovely Virginia that begs to be sipped to reap its rewards. Please know that, nothing will improve in taste or with age whilst contained in a vacuum sealed tin. Dump the tobacco in a large mason jar and stow it away. This fine flake is truly satisfying....Read More
Yes, it is.

Much upset for the guys who cellared 100+ tins of Dunhill tobacco to flip, only to find Peterson bought the rights to Dunhill's excellent blends.
Same factory, same blend, same process as Dunhill's Flake.
The only thing that's changed is the sticker on the front.
Great solid Brown Virgini
as, sweet grassy smoke which gets much better with age....Read More
very nice!

2016 Dunhill Flake: Tin note of spices, mild ketchup and honey. Tobacco is a reddish dark brown Flake with tan specks. Moisture content is good, some may want to dry it out a bit. Flakes rub out easily. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. No flavoring is listed but I can detect a mild to medium note of sweet honey. Taste is mild to medium and moderately consistent, with notes of bready, sweet grass, rich earth, citrus peel/zest, acidic/spicy, mild wood, spices, mildly savory, mildly floral, a sweet, dried hay background note, and a peppery retro. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More
