Strong Chill Smoke
May 23, 2025
By: Walter H.
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
I love stronger/simple burley blends and this just hits the spot every time. Don’t let the plum topping description fool you into thinking this is an aromatic. It’s a stout blend. I pick up more burley than Virginia leaf with an excellent berry-type topping on the retrohale that lasts throughout the bowl. Burns cool and slow. Could use a little dry time, but not too much. I cut a flake into small cubes and go to town. Nice hour-long smoke. Excellent in warmer weather if a stout burley doesn’t suit you. Perfect after-dinner blend. All I can say is, wow! Peterson, you did good....Read More

Wonderful Plum/Blueberry Muffin

This is a dessert flake to say the least. I recommend aging this in a jar for about six months to a year to really get the perfect smoke 🔥

Blueberry muffins
January 16, 2025
By: Richard M.
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Sip it slow. Description says it has a plum topping but I get notes more akin to a warm blueberry muffin. Quite enjoyable! Most reviewers are saying medium for the vitamin N amount. I found it strong for my tolerance level. Believe it was a 2021 tin.

Surprising
April 10, 2025

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Iv looked at a lot of reviews before getting this. I was worried when I read about the topping it would be more like an aromatic . But I finally bought some and I’m glad i did. The tin note definitely made me second guess buying it but after some dry time, I smoked it anyway and the toppings is much more subtle in the smoke especially about a quarter into the bowl. This is actually enjoyable and don’t regret my decision. If you’ve been thinking about getting it and never do, id say just go for it....Read More

A Staple of My Rotation
January 14, 2025
By: Brian M.
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
This was my first foray into VaBur blends and I find myself smoking it quite often. I find that the first third or so of the bowl is a bit Virginia forward and the woodsy/nutty flavors of the Burley really start to come through after that. The plum topping is present, but not overwhelming, throughout the entire smoke and it compliments the natural flavors of the tobacco wonderfully. Highly recommend if you are looking to dabble in the world of VaBurs....Read More

A solid go-to
February 28, 2025

Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
I’ve recently gotten back into pipe smoking after a decade-long hiatus. I used to be a Capstan Blue man. But since I’ve restarted the habit, I’ve been trying a lot of virginias I’d never tried before and University Flake has become my go-to for an after lunch smoke. It’s mild and easy. The fruity plumb is certainly there, but not strong. This is truly a go-to mild and comfortable smoke....Read More

Delicious to the bottom of the bowl
September 11, 2024
By: Daniel W.
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
I’m a new pipe smoker, and have tried some good staples of the tobacco free genres. But the faint plumb topping just rounds this out to be the most pleasing smoke I’ve had yet. Burns well for this newbie, and the tobacco flavor is pleasant for the entire bowl. The faint topping only balances in the fragrance but the tobacco is what is primarily tasted in a really pleasing way. Highly recommend....Read More

Unimpressed (Edit- now impressed!)
December 08, 2024
By: Dale D.
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Wow! What a difference a couple weeks crumbled up makes! It’s like an entirely different smoke. I’m a newbie and trying my palette with a few tins of different things. At first this had no flavor, but it is entirely different now! (Old- Not what I expected. Tastes lie nothing compared to Morning Pipe. Live and learn.)...Read More

Average VaBur
October 27, 2024
By: arp4257
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
Once you open a tin and have your fist bowl what you notice immediately is rather pleasant plum taste which integrates well with tobacco. During the smoke plum taste slowly disappears leaving instead sweet fruitlike taste which stays present throughout the bowl. Now the bad news. If after opening tin plum taste lasts from third to half of the bowl then closer to the end of the tin it disappear after several puffs. Sweet fruitlike taste remains all the time though. Tobacco is classical VaBur with rather good Virginias. But instead of synergy of Virginias and Burleys it is more of dominance fight with infrequent moments of typical Burley harshness breaking through. Toppings instead of simply adding sweetness behave almost as the third component diminishing Virginias which is not to my liking at all. The blend tasted best in medium and medium to large apple or pot shaped pipes. I did not notice any difference in taste between briar and meerschaum pipes. Altogether it is rather decent VaBur. It is definitely smokable. But in all honesty I prefer somewhat sweet and nutty taste of Irish Flake despite all its strength....Read More

Dry Time...
August 04, 2024
By: DavidVR
Product: Peterson University Flake 50g
The flavor is good on this but I had a hell of a time getting it to light and stay lit. I had to unpack the bowl and let it dry first and then it ran fine. Good smoke, but there's so many options out there I don't know if this one was worth the effort.
