Product: Solani Aged Burley Flake - 656 50g
moked incredibly well. It doesn't taste like burley...at least no burley I've tasted. This stuff tastes how I've always imagined good tobacco is suppose to taste. It's rich, a bit woody, a bit leathery, a touch nutty...it just tastes old. The aroma of the burning tobacco smells wonderful. Kinda leathery and...cinnamon??? Really really really nice stuff...kinda bums me out that it's so hard to get regularly. Seriously if you like the taste of pure tobacco this HAS to be on your list...or wait...I mean it's terrible...just awful stuff...seriously don't buy it ;) Read Less

making it. No, I just wanted to let anyone reading this know that this flake does not contain Dark Fired Kentucky tobacco despite the incorrect description by smokingpipes. It used to say it contained some Dark Burley from Kentucky, but that's not the same leaf. This is primarily White Burley with a touch of licorice, and probably molasses, but they are merely casings not top notes so they are very faint. Read Less

moisture content (I dried mine briefly before smoking), and a tin aroma that made me reach for my pipe.
I lit up and settled in for a very enjoyable smoke. Honest burley flavours all the way through the bowl, and nothing but ash at the end.
If it was a bit less expensive, it could easily be an all-day smoke. As it is, I'll use ABF as a celebration burley. Took a half star off the rating due to economics. Will buy again. Read Less

More Perfect

Product: Solani Aged Burley Flake - 656 50g
ke fine straight from the tin. So, I found that if I let it air a bit under a desk lamp for about 20 minutes it's even More Perfect a smoke. Slim wide flakes that I find are a bit much due to it's strength but using just a half at a time in a medium briar is just right for me.
Now, the biggest reason I am writing this review is that I smoked a tin of it that I somehow squirreled away a year or so ago( I do date the tins as they arrive), and it was nice dark flakes and smoked exquisitely. I finished THAT tin and opened another that just came in last week and I noticed that the newer tin is much lighter in color. And has a very slight nip in the taste. I can only figure that the other tin had aged and the lighter burleys became darker and smoother I would almost say that the tobacco that became darker might have been a pinch of Virginia? Nah, t's Aged Burley Flake right?!
Anyway, if you can hide a few tins from yourself you won't be sorry. Read Less
Smooth Natural Burley Flake
March 10, 2015
By:
AZ Mountain Geek
Product: Solani Aged Burley Flake - 656 50g
- dark brown Burley from Kentucky, light Burley from Brazil, and white Burley from Malawi - Southeast Africa. A very natural blend with absolutely no additives or flavors - a true Burley blend." In other words, no Virginias. If you can believe what Solani says, they've managed to bring out that sweet cocoa burley flavor without the cocoa and molasses/brown sugar casings that others add - a pretty amazing feat of masterful blending. To me this blend has slightly milder flavor than Wessex Burley Slice (which is not surprising if it doesn't use casing), but the Solani is smoother, and still very flavorful, rich and creamy. I like the Wessex too, and when I'm in the mood for a stronger and spicier flavor will smoke it, but most of the time I prefer the Solani as it tastes more natural to me. The nicotine level is moderately-high, but not as high as Peterson Irish Flake or HH Old Dark Fired. The flakes have just the right moisture content and don't need drying. If you like burleys and haven't tried this one, you are missing a treat. Highly recommended! Read Less

F is much smoother. The ingredients must be reported and are available to the public via BMEL. Mac Baren HH Burley Flake is pretty darn good too, but it’s a bit lighter and purer tasting burley flake when compared to Solani ABF. HHBF is also a daily smoke – unlike ABF. The tannic quality associated with the burley is less pronounced in ABF as the fermentation and flavorings have smoothed if not sublimated this. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just different and not what we’ve come to expect from burley. The dark burley has been fermented with moisture and heat, and shines brilliantly in this with a deep earthy note. The leaf is stout and tingles the nose, with the white burly offering a little sharpness at time. It’s more for special occasions rather than a daily thing. Contrary to what some may think or say, burley isn’t going to change much over time. So aging isn’t going to alter this too terribly much. It’s NOT a nicotine powerhouse as the nic level is on the lesser side of moderate; 1.5 out of 5. It’s a 5 star burley, but I’m taking a star back due to price... HH Burley Flake is every bit as good, if not better, and is easier on your wallet. Read Less

anure (from the Kentucky, no doubt.) Some Vitamin N, though not overbearing. Burns slow and perfect. Little relighting when properly 'aired n prepared'.
Calming. Thought provoking. Not a tobacco to be smoked while entertaining guests, as it is sure to arrest one's mind.
Room note is horse manure, herbs, and overcooked coffee. Not necessarily bad, though squares will likely complain. Stick to the 1-Q for your dinner party.. Go back to this once your mother in law screws-off back to Fort Lauderdale.
Absolutely no bite.
Maybe my desert island blend.

sting was this tobacco. For me, this is definitely a slow, rewarding smoke. Definitely not an all-day smoke, but great for those times (after a meal, for example) when you just want to sit and ponder. Stay seated, though, because the nicotine will creep up on you. EDIT: I've now tried it in a couple of pipes, both folded and rubbed out. It's even better than first reported. The nicotine is still high, of course, but it's much milder than I first thought.

at light burleys are well known for. The tin note is damp wood, fig, and molasses, while the room note comes through with a bit of that coffee, an earthy essence, and a note that I personally find quite common among good burleys that's something like freshly washed laundry and breakfast cereal, if that makes sense. Lol It may require a relight or two, but I find it to be quite easy to smoke. Cool and steady burning, given proper breaking up and drying time. Definitely worth getting your hands on, if you can.

al palette, not typical for your usual burley. While very complex, the taste that sums it up is cocoa and it tastes best towards the end of a smoke. Smoking it and getting the best of what ithe blen has to offer did take a while as only by the end of the tin I finally figured out how to pack the pipe right (I smoke it rubbed-out): it has to be packed as loosely as possible - 2/3 of your regular filling as it expands more than any other blend I've encountered. When packed right, it produces a long, cool and flavorful smoke. As for the nicotine, didn't notice it being as high as some have mentioned. Read Less

sting sticky texture.
The smoke begins with a your expected nutty, woody, earthy, characters that burley blends are known for but the natural molasses note begins to appear quickly. Thought his tobacco that will not satisfy a sweet tooth, it does off an excellent interplay between sweet/savory, molasses/ nutty.
The sweet molasses character has become more pronounced. If you aren’t used to Buley’s, give it time. This blend is becoming quite a wonderful smoke. It really combines well with a cup of coffee or tea with a bit of milk, as the creaminess goes well with the molasses.
Nic: Slightly above medium, though I did have it with coffee in the morning without much issue. Slight headache.
It is quickly becoming a top blend for me and will probably be switched out time to time with the Va/Bur blend University Flake in my rotation. A wonderful burley blend that lives up to its hype! 8/10 Read Less
