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
Plum Fantastic
January 30, 2017
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
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.
Great flake
September 26, 2019
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
I tried this blend after a suggestion regarding good burley blends. I was not disappointed, the initial tin note was unexpected but pleasant and it is barely noticeable in the smoke. It's a very satisfying blend, earthy, just enough sweetness and a f... Read More

Good medium strength flake. Nice topping and burn. Much better than Erinmore Flake.
Decent Plum/Huckleberry-Topped Flake
May 11, 2021
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
They state plum, but it reminds me of huckleberry. The fruity topping is always present and adds the least bit of fruity nuance on top of a predominate woody and earthy mixture. It's not a sweet/fruity addition - just a smell that you can sense. I w... Read More
Nicotiana Tabacum Zinfandel

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Considering I gave up drinking a couple of years ago, I suppose this is the closest I’ll get to sipping a glass of sweet red, perhaps a rose or a Zinfandel. That aroma is very present in the tin note but decreases greatly once you are puffing away a... Read More
Professor Plum
September 19, 2020
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
I jarred a new tin up for 4 months, giving it time to mellow just a bit. Upon opening the jar there was more of a Plum & Milk Chocolate note. Mid way through the bowl came more together as Plum Jam with a toasty sweet bread/chocolate note.
awesome!

Tin note of tangy berries, spices and sugar. Tobacco is a flake of color. Moisture content is great, flakes rub out easily. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of plum that s... Read More

The only Peterson Blend that I like, but it is one of my favorite blends. I currently am smoking a 5 year old tin, and while this needs no aging, the aged blend is soft, full and with medium strength. One of the few blends I have collected over the y... Read More

I smoked this in a Peterson 317 System Standard estate. I used some Nording keystones. I let the 1.5 flakes of tobacco dry, before folding and stuffing. The pipe pipe required many relights, but the flavour. It was stewed fruit, sugar, yeasty bread,... Read More

Delicious blend. Burley is there from the first light however it really kicks-in about halfway through the bowl with notes of yeasty fresh bread. This continues right though to the end of the bowl. Notes of plum mingle with the flavours of the Burley... Read More

Nice easy fruity plum topping with chocolate notes. The problem is the burley irritates and I can’t smoke it beyond the halfway point or it burns.
Pretty Good Virginia Flake

You won't really notice the plum unless you retrohale. It's pretty good. It's not bland, but it isn't complex.
Happy accident!

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Well I confused this tobacco for Connoisseur’s Choice, bought this one instead and it wound up being a happy accident! The smokey Kentucky was a first for me, reminded me of the smell of BBQ places in Texas.

Soaking wet in the tin. Plum? Tastes like a bad cigar to me. Sorry about this review, just being honest.

Perfectly balanced burley flake with a berry topping. The berry topping is more apparent in the tin than in the smoke, but it is there and plays perfectly with the nutty cocoa of the burley. This one is a winner in my book. No tongue bite at all and ... Read More

I found this one to be really bland. I'm definitely a Burley lover too. Not enough nutty or chocolate to it. Try at your own risk. Stick to Solani or dunhill flakes.

Straight Forward

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Just a great straight forward V-flake. If you smoke Virginia flake, you will probably like this one too. I do not find it as strong as the "3 dots" on this page might suggest.
Great Flake, Great Memories
August 14, 2018
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
University Flake was the first flake I ever tried nearly 20 years ago. It has the grassy, malty notes associated with these tobaccos, and always satisfies. Great flavor, and I love the aroma about half way down the bowl. Soooo good.
An Old Favourite

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 so often..
One of the good ones.

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
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
December 14, 2014

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.
