My first flake.

After attempting various ways to pack this flake, which is my first flake, into my pipe, I find the fold and stuff method suitable for my needs. Upon opening the square tin, the strips of tobacco flake are presented like small strips of tree bark or... Read More
leather. It smells shockingly delicious and edible. Like the fruit roll ups I ate as a child. Must be the tartness of Virginias. Packed in my pipe and it has a zesty, citrus flavour like some sort of tart. Not just tartness, though. No. It has a baked lemon tart feel to it. Some sort of bread or dough is being detected on my palate that, while faint, is there. I will be trying other flakes. I like this. I dare say I will venture out to more flaked tobacccos now that my virginity is broken. Read Less
So fresh, so pleasant

By: Lawrence C.
Product: Dunhill Flake 50g
Dunhill Flake is probably the classiest smoke out there. It has no downside. It makes rich white smoke and the residual is simply "clean" ash. The flavor reminds one of a new-mowed lawn or the breezy scent of summer. It's as enjoyable as a ... Read More

The light one
January 15, 2017
By: Ahmad O.
Product: Dunhill Flake 50g
This is quite an interesting tobacco. And despite being labelled as "Straight" virginia, it isn't so straight at all. The reason for this is it applies the concept of appearances vs reality. When you open the tin, it's like sunshine in the ... Read More
plains. Sunny, bright virginia thin flakes with a beautiful high note of grass, hay and citrus. My tin came at perfect and I repeat perfect moisture content. That was enough to tempt me to just fold and stuff it. And again I was welcomed with a high note of citrus, following a really easy lighting process. It remained consistent, stayed lit save for a relight or two in a very large bowl and when finished it needed one knock to clean the bowl leaving a tiny ball of white ash in the tray. And that's when the appearances end and reality start. With the second and third bowls, I rubbed it out, and was that a different experience. The high pitched grass notes disappeared completely and instead it was a middle of the road earthy, rich and bready flake. I enjoy those more, so I had to re-evaluate the blend in that light. And again it delivered. Alas, it was milder than my taste but other than that, perfect virginia blend. It is a smooth, light all day smoke. And doing my research I learnt it was originally called light flake and I think that name suits it better. I am not sure I will buy more of it, but if this is the light flake, I am certainly a fan of dark flake even before I try it

As far as smoking mechanics is concerned, this is a well behaved blend from packing till the ashy end. It has a distinctive taste of lemon grass, very much constant throughout the bowl but yeah!!! like I said..........."SATISFYING"

This was my first try at a pure Virginia tobacco and my first try at flake tobacco. SPC's brief description of Dunhill Flake does not really do it full justice. I can, however, understand why it is so high in its sales rank. Although I had never trie... Read More
d smoking flake tobacco, I found it easy to prepare and stuck to folding the flakes into various shapes and putting them in the bowl. The flavor is excellent and I found in most cases that I could smoke for up to 1.5 hours, depending on the bowl size. I must admit that once I opened the tin I neglected my other tobaccos for the most part. The taste is mild, sweet,and never had any bite. I am now a complete flake convert and will keep Dunhill Flake as part of my regular rotation. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Read Less

Product: Dunhill Flake 50g
This is not a blend that you should sit down and try to analyse every subtle nuance of flavor - mostly because there isn't much to analyse (at least in my opinion). It's not deeply complex, and that's ok, because it doesn't have to be. I find myself ... Read More

This is a good quality flake but its average when compared to the many flakes out there. It has the sweet base of VA's with a slight lemony note throughout the bowl. It can tend to taste a little dirty towards the end with a little spice to it.

A wonderful discovery...
June 22, 2014
By: Warren S.
Product: Dunhill Flake 50g
Like a lot of pipe smokers out there, I started with aromatics. One day my music professor, and fellow pipe smoker, introduced me to real pipe tobacco, no offense to my aromatic loving brother and sisters out there of course, Balkan Sobranie. He expl... Read More
ained that this mixture gets its flavor naturally and not from adding "syrup" as he called it, to the mixture to create its flavor.. I immediately fell in love with Balkan and threw out my aromatics, and started buying pipes that I could dedicate to this wonderful discovery. The only problem was, I had all of these pipes dedicated to aromatic blends that I didn't want to "ghost" with the Balkan. So years passed, and I discovered this web site and decided to try a straight Virginia blend. I had tried Dunhill cigs, and some of their English blends in the past, so I knew any of their blends would be of the highest grade.. So when I received my Dunhill Flake in the mail, I anxiously rubbed out a pile and filled one of my first pipes, a GBD Pinner and fired it up and WOW!! It had a wonderfully sweet, almost vanilla/fruity taste that I instantly loved.. When I had to relight, I was worried at first that, like aromatics, the flavor would dissipate, and would taste nothing like it had on the first initial puffs.. Not so!! It retained its smooth, bite free, sweet flavor all the way to the end of the bowl. If anything its natural flavors became more apparent, and satisfying, as I continued on.. This is a wonderful, "all day" smoke that leaves a pleasant room note, even to the nonsmoker. It burns evenly and smooth, and has enough vitamin N to satisfy.. It has def earned a place in my rotation, along with Dunhills Nightcap, and I am now able to smoke my other pipes that were gathering dust.. 5 stars all the way!! Read Less

Because virginia tobaccos are high in sugar,it helps me break a new pipe in three times faster.More sugar means more carbon.It will build a carbon cake faster than anything else.The good flavors are a plus,In this high grade flake.

Gold Standard

By: Kevin B.

Good straight Virginia. Lighter in flavor than say, FVF, but delicious. If FVF is the de facto standard for darker VAs, then I'd say this could be a standard for bright/golden VAs.
