One of the best
March 10, 2018
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
Tangy and distinct. Always pleasurable. Truly a top notch flake.
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

A Perfect Smoke
July 06, 2017
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
After thirty years and nearing five hundred different blends, this is by far the silkest and friendliest smoke of them all. To say that 633 is the champagne of Virginias is not enough. It's Dom Perignon.
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
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
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

Oh Sooo Fine
October 17, 2015
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
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 100g
This is a marvelous vaper. Complex notes of dried fruits from the perique playing off the sweetness of the Virginia. If you can, let it age for three years. You will find a tobacco with a very satisfying mouth feel/body.

I've yet to find a flake that I dont enjoy but 633 blows the doors off em all ! Try it and you will not be disappointed I can almost guarantee it ... mmm
My personal favorite
January 22, 2019
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 100g
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!

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

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
First impressions
August 23, 2020
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
I was really excited to try this. It was an unexpected and interesting smoke. Very mild and soft. For me it falls on the VaPer side of the line, but just barely. Regrettable I'm not much of a VaPer fan. As far as my Virginia rotation this will not be... Read More
replacing anything, nor will it be added. I prefer Yorktown or my aged FVF, Dunhill Flake and Capstan Blue. From a Virginia point of view (and the flavor profile I enjoy in that varietal) this blend doesn't touch those blends. FYI - I do highly recommend Solani Aged Burley Flake. It may be one of the top 5 pipe blends ever produced. Read Less
A really great one
August 22, 2020
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 100g
Solani for sure and at least for me makes one of the best tobaccos out there and this one is maybe one of the bests. Fresh, tangy, citrus, spiciness smoke, seems to have a lite topping. The flakes are perfect to break and to smoke right out of the ti... Read More
n but aged it becomes much better. This is a well balanced mix. Could be smoked all day, is in the middle of taste and nic. It burns cool and slow and needs some relights. Read Less

Quality Virginia. Just a touch of perique.
Ruins All Other Virginia Flakes
November 26, 2019
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
This Virginia flame will ruin all others for you because of how good it is. I will take this other Samuel Gawith’s Full Virginia any day. I love this Solani blend. When I saw on the back of the tin the flavoring was ‘honey’ I was dismayed. I don’t sm... Read More
oke any aero’s. Don’t worry you cannot distinguish the honey except for slightly in the tin more. Clean and crisp Virginia flake. There are many of them but all seem to agree this is up there with the best of them. Read Less
THE Best Va-Per on the Market
October 19, 2019
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
I'm gonna say it. 633 is better than Escudo. If you're looking for a great blend, that's all you really need to know. By far my favorite Virginia-Perique.
Best VaPer?
October 12, 2019
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
Not sure this is the best VaPer as I have not tried all of them, but I can say the Virginias used in the blend are very good. Sweet and smooth. I detected no bite and found it very pleasant.
Another great one from Solani

I love this one. Only gets better with age.
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 100g
This is a wonderful Dunhill Flake replacement. This is probably better.
Very sweet and a little tang.
What a treat
June 25, 2019
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 50g
I can see why SP refers to Solani Virginia flake as the "Champagne of Virginias"....the taste on this one is very similar to a bottle of nice Champagne - bready, with citrus notes, hay, and crisp grass. The honey casing on this one is not ... Read More
very present in the taste, but is noticeable in the tin note. The Perique is faint but there with a slight tart plum note and a bit of pepper. Very well balanced and quite rich for a Virginia - burn this one slow and steady to enjoy the most out of the complex flavors going on in here and don't let it dry out too much or you will lose the lighter fruit notes. Buy a few to cellar as well! Read Less
A Little Too Wimpy In Vitamin N But Good Flavor
June 16, 2019
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 100g
I wasn't all that impressed with this mixture due to the lack of strength... a rather wimpy VA/Per blend. If you want a good, strong Va/Per... get some Salty Dogs & you'll know what Va/Pers are supposed to be. I won't repeat another expenditure on ... Read More
this blend. However, I've discovered that many pipers prefer these wimpy blends. Taste doesn't mean so much to me as does strength plus flavor. I like my money's worth & this didn't provide & is rather costly. Read Less

It's a VAPer
March 31, 2019
Product: Solani Virginia Flake - 633 100g
I love Virginias. Have avoided this one for years simply because Perique - unless in a combination with a fairly complex blend - isn't high on my list. The Virginia in this tobacco is excellent, the flakes are fine and well- presented, burn rate is s... Read More
plended, faint honey topping is a nice touch. Then comes the Perique. Less obnoxious than usual, but sufficient to add an unwanted after taste to an otherwise pleasant smoke. Decided to age most of the tin and see what happens in a year or so. 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!
Very tasty
September 08, 2018
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.
