Deep, Rich, Slightly Sweet
July 17, 2018
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
For some reason this tobacco didn't come up on my radar for some time. I love va/pers and when I saw several positive review on the "champagne" of virginias I had to give it a go--and I was NOT disappointed. 633 has deep, rich, wonderful flavors. Som... Read More
e hay, stewed fruits, and malty dark chocolate. There is also just a nice sweetness in there that rounds out the richness, like a semi-sweet chocolate (I do enjoy sweeter tobaccos). Interestingly enough, and maybe its just because "champagne" has been embedded in my mind, but it does almost have that very slight bitter after taste of a dry champagne. Maybe its just me? I give it about 30 minutes drying time out of the tin, and sip on it. Do so, and enjoy this rich and sumptuous flake. Read Less
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
I have added this to my rotation, it's very enjoyable. I can taste a bit of fruit, it is a little malty, and a nice medium strength. I replaced Dunhill flake with this in my lumberman. So far it seems to behave better and is a bit of a brighter smoke... Read More

One of the best

Tangy and distinct. Always pleasurable. Truly a top notch flake.
A Perfect Smoke
July 06, 2017
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
After thirty years and nearing five hundred different blends, I'd say this is the silkest and friendliest smoke of them all. To say that 633 is the champagne of Virginias is not enough. This is Dom Perignon.
Outstanding

A buddy of mine gifted me a can of Virgina flake, awww man it is good cool smoke and very flavorful. You can detect very little perique

Wonderful Sweet And fruity Virginia's with a Balanced amount of Perique. I can't say enuff about the Virginia's in this Blend they are probably the best I've ever smoked. I am a huge fan of Perique so this Blend definitely has enuff I believe for a g... Read More

Champagne indeed
April 13, 2017
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
I hope the recipe for this tobacco is never lost to the ages! A creamy, smooth smoke that is equally perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon and a chilly morning on the patio. Even more surprisingly, I have yet to meet a Virginia flake that would tak... Read More
e light so easily, and stay lit with no maintenance whatsoever. In fact, it is the only blend I have had to "put out" with my palm after the charring light. It just keeps going and going. With competition such as Full Virginia Flake or some of McClelland's offerings, this is nothing short of a blessing. Which goes for the blend on the whole. Champagne indeed! Read Less

Oh Sooo Fine

Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
Everything about this leaf screams top shelf. It's packaged beautifully. They come in beautifully colored sheets of tobacco. The moisture level is perfect straight from the tin. It burns perfectly. The taste... it's all a VaPer should be and more. I'... Read More
ve yet to find a more perfectly balanced blend. It's just sweet enough, not over the top and the taste improves just when you think it couldn't possibly. Great stuff! I burned my way through two tins in a couple days. I'm VERY curious as to how this stuff will age because as it stands fresh, I can't fathom it being even better. Yum! Read Less
High-grade tobacco
August 27, 2015
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
I tried this for the first time yesterday evening after reading many positive reviews. I smoked it in a brand new corn cob pipe. I like to do that for a new tobacco; which I view as akin to rolling out a red carpet for a special guest.
I usually li... Read More
ke to smoke a tobacco a few times prior to sending in a review, but this one is an instant star! The flakes crumble nicely after a gentle rub. The tin aroma is fruity, but not overwhelming. The flavour is loaded with what I found to be the freshest and most pleasantly-tasting Virginias I've encountered. The perique is evident but blended in with perfect harmony. I speculate that this blend can please both the non-Virginia smoker and tenderfoot alike. Read Less
Among the Very Best VaPers
June 06, 2015
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
When I began smoking a pipe, I quickly realized that I had an affinity for VaPers. I've now tried many of them, and this is tied for the very best. The tin note is of a high-quality, fruity Virginia. The first part of the bowl is very sweet, and this... Read More
gradually gives way to the smoky, full-flavored Perique. But at no time is it harsh or even remotely overwhelming. This could easily be an all-day smoke, and it's definitely going into both the rotation and the cellar. Read Less
My personal favorite

I love VA/Pers. This one is my favorite. If it were the tobacco all other VA/Pers were measured by then no one would buy anything else. Cheers!
Not Bad But Too Mild For Me
January 07, 2019
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
Tin aroma suggests a mild topping. I can't describe what it might be. Could be just the way the blend aroma wafts from the tin with the Perique infusion. It smoked mild & cool with an initial sweet flavor that subsided as the bowl progressed. Stays m... Read More
ild, smokes cool & doesn't get harsh toward the end. This is a good VA/Per blend but I found myself drawing too hard for more tobacco strength & flavor which also seemed to dissipate after about half way down & became rather bland...a little "wimpy," as it were but that's not a bad thing... many pipers would prefer that. I prefer at least a medium to strong strength in this genre of blends & have always enjoyed smoking a good VA/Per. Solani 633 is not a bad smoke. Certainly better than many others but it did not make my top twenty due to lack of strength only but the flavor was not bad at all. Always a pleasure to try something new though, if nothing else but to make comparisons. Read Less
The 50g tin is a good choice
November 20, 2018
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
This tobacco smokes very well out of the tin, and improves greatly with age; one of my top 10. The 100 gram tin needs to be jarred and ages differently than the 50g sealed tin ... I go for both!
Excellent Now, Better with Age

Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 100g
This Virginia is excellent right out of the tin, and improves even more with just a bit of age. One of my top 10

This tobacco is really great! Amazing room and tin notes. Burns cool and produces a super flavourful smoke that makes for a great after-dinner, desert type bowl. Flakes were easy to rub out and were perfect in moisture right out of the tin. Highl... Read More

Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
Malt goodness in tin note and and taste, virgina is the star, with a light Perique taste. Wow, very good flake, also perfect moisture level to me. A must try. I see why it it is named Champagne of virgina. Top grade.

Great Virginia with very mild Perique
