Tastes great if you can get it to light. Its really wet. I let it dry for half an hour. It was fresh when I got it so it will get better. Hopefully.
Excellent

This blend has good flavor but is unfortunately for me chemically bitey. The first I have found from S.G. to give me problem if not for that solid 4 stars
Not Sammy’s Best Brown Flake, But It Still Scores Five Stars

loves Samuel Gawith’s blends. With Best Brown Flake, Samuel Gawith delivers an excellent medium-bodied Virginia broken flake. I might be wrong, but the brown sugar, honey, citrus and grassy hay notes all seem to result naturally from inside of the prime Virginia leaf here, and not from any mystery toppings.
The tin note is to me very much like green tea, with Full Virginia Flake smelling like green tea mixed with some unknown other tea variety. Green tea is not as present, however in the flavor post-char light. Instead you get the flavors I mentioned before.
This easily could become an all-day, with its mild nicotine levels and mild flavor, but it is at least an ideal morning puff for a pipester with Virginia on the mind. Rub this out and dry for a couple or few hours before packing the bowl, for best results. 5.0 stars....Read More

I'm so lucky to find a 1995 tin at local shop. It fermented well with tangy, sweet. But still hard to stay lit, need some dry time but not to long .
Not what it use to be

Delicious and Light Flake

as a fairly subtle but distinct brown sugar flavor that's just delicious—which is perhaps where the name came from—as well as the typical bright Virginia notes of grassy-hay and mild citrus. Although the tin note gave me a faint whiff reminiscent of Grasmere Flake, there are no flowery Lakeland flavorings in BBF—none whatsoever. There's almost no potential for tongue bite, if any. However, smoke it slow all the same, because its delicious flavor can be ruined from puffing it too hard and/or burning it too hot. Room note is pleasant for pipers, but isn't anything special for non-smokers; those in my house say it smells better than cigarettes but not great. Its mild and flavorful characteristics make it a perfect first smoke of the day. Just like all SG products, this is a moist flake—very moist. You will never enjoy smoking this great tobacco unless you dry it out quite a bit before you smoke it. I recommend leaving it out overnight, or a microwave oven for just a few seconds....Read More

This blend has a terrific taste, if you possess the self-control to only sip it. If you're a heavy puffer, which I typically practice, you might want to seek another Virginia. Heavy puffers will endure a bite like a Nile crocodile with this blend.
