Un flake de ensueño
June 25, 2020
Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
Los flakes son fascinantes, fuman excelente y el sabor es impresionante. Es un tabaco serio y francamente muy buscado por todos. Tiene toda la rareza y el atractivo de un incunable. ¡Vale la pena buscarlo en las tabacotecas!

Just cracked open a nine year old tin of this wonderful tobacco. I do not normally post reviews, but in this case will make an exception. This is and has been great from the purchase, but put up a dozen or so tins nine years ago, only wish I had put ... Read More

top notch stoved Va. flake

Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
A bit like Astley's #44 and Buteras dark. Very good stuff that is rather underrated for some reason. It has no perique (like marlin flake but i understand the comparsion because otherwise they do share a similar taste). This is also a bit like sever... Read More

Tin note of mild stewed fruit, toasted dark bread and coffee?. Tobacco is a dark brown flake. Moisture content is great, flakes rub out with a little effort. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected.... Read More
Taste is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of bread, wood, spice, fermented, earth, floral, hay, orange peel/zest, tangy citrus, acidic/spicy, mildly bitter, mildly vinegary, lemon grass, savory, a rich tart stewed dark fruit background note, and a peppery retro. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less
The Perfect Virginia Flake?
September 17, 2022
Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
Pretty damn close. There is so much inexplicable complexity in this straight VA blend. The flakes rub out to a perfect ribbon and the moisture out of the tin is absolutely perfect. I'll spare you the common VA associated adjectives and just say it ha... Read More

Simply The Best
October 30, 2020
Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
This is personally my favorite straight Virginia. I do not have experience smoking a fresh tin, but I imagine a fairly similar experience. My tins are all 7 years old. Very rich and full flavored. So many subtle nuances if you search for them, or you... Read More
can easily “not think” about it and just smoke. Smells like pineapples out of the tin. The flakes are not beautiful perfectly rectangular shapes like Solani or Mac Baren, this is more of a big wad of tobacco. This is only cosmetic and doesn’t matter to me at all. Just thought I’d mention it. Seems like much older (square tins) had uniform flakes. Highly recommend if you like Virginias. Read Less
Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
This tobacco is a very fine, quality product. Packs and burns nicely, not overly wet in a freshly opened new tin and dries well after opening.
The overall taste is oats, apricot and molasses. The rich sweetness ventures to the level of pronounced at... Read More
the onset, but a mild darkness develops to balance the sugar out before it becomes overwhelming.
I find that I enjoy this most in a big bowled bent-billiard, the more the space the more mild the blend seems to smoke. I drink big draughts of the stuff this way, and although it is so good I that I tend to puff too often, burning the bowl is a concern but burning my tongue is not (and here I give the big bore Radice most of the credit).
In a smaller bowled apple the blend has a bit more punch. Either way, delightful taste with either a glass of cool water or unsweetened black tea. Read Less

I'm halfway through my first tin of it.
I've decided to give it a try, and I wasn't disappointed at all. I got pretty much what I was expecting, but also i got surprised by it's quality. I don't know why this tobacco is marked as non-flavoured, sinc... Read More
e there is a lot of casing or maybe even topping added to it.
Flakes appear visually similar to Orlik golden sliced and also smells similar. First part of the bowl, you can feel some "Danish" flavouring" which fades away and disappears completely at the middle of the bowl. And then something very strange happens. Floral aroma comes up to the front, as in the first lit of the Lakeland tobaccos. After the danish taste, this is awesome. Not overpowering, but pleasant. And this goes for about a third of the bowl, then the pattern changes and darker VA's come upfront, all until the end. Burns perfectly to white ash, comes in a perfect moisture condition ready to pack immediately, doesnt dry out easily and stays in perfect condition for a week or two. It's "danish" flavoured, Highly recommended from me. Read Less
Sublime Dark Flake

Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
I aways have wondered what all the fuss was about this flake. I've not been able to try it because it's ALWAYS out of stock. I was delighted when I recently got the SP email notice that it was in stock. I immediately headed over to sp with shaking f... Read More
ingers to try to grab several tins. Yes! Finally got some and buddy was it ever worth the wait. This is just a beautiful flake from start to finish. The presentation, tin aroma, prep, burn rate, and rich flavor just reek of quality tobaccos. If I had to pick a perfect flake this one would definitely be near the top of the list. My biggest complaint is I wish it were more easily available than having near heart failure trying to pull the trigger fast enough through sp checkout! Read Less

Like Dunhill Dark Flake, but slightly sweeter and smoother.
Excellent Straight Dark Virgina Tobacco
May 25, 2019
Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
This is a very well prepared Virginia flake with a sweet, tobacco flavor. Tin odor is a good Virginia aroma. The flakes were slightly sticky from the molasses or honey topping but rubbed out easily. It is biteless and smokes mild but delivers favorab... Read More
le nicotine content.
A slight harshness initially...characteristic of Virginias. After a relight (employing the DGT method) & a few more puffs, no more bite & this stuff provided pure, sweet Virginia flavor with a mild accent while still providing a pretty good nicotine boost. Packs easily & burns nicely & doesn't bite. An excellent Dark Virginia and much better than most. I thought it was better than Astley's No. 44 which I will avoid unless they change their recipe to reduce bite & find a way to produce a better, sweeter, flavor in their dark VA version.
If you like straight, dark Virginia, give Wessex Campaign Dark Flake, Brigade Series a try. I promise, you won't be disappointed if you like dark VA tobacco. WB Campaign is more pricy than similar blends but worth the extra $$. It provided a nice, sweet flavored smoke. A great blend with extras in my modest cellar. Read Less
My number one.

Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
As a person who loves stoved Virginias, if I could only smoke one tobacco, this would be it. While it has mostly the flavor profile you would expect from this type of tobacco, there’s a certain piquancy, almost persimmon-like, that’s unique to BCDF.
You Like Marlin Flake?

Product: Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
It's similar in style and presentation to Marlin. Age it, dry it, you know the story with Dark VAs like this. It's pretty darn good, even great. But you do have to be patient with it because it can be a little sour to start out. Give it time, lots of... Read More
stewed fruit flavors make it distinctive and nice for a treat when FVF or Stonehaven is a little too sweet for you. Read Less

I've been smoking a pipe for about a month now and this is by far my favorite. Very flavorful.
