More Details |
Peterson University Flake begins with specially selected Virginias and rich Burleys which are pressed along with a dark fruit essence. The bricks are allowed to mature under pressure to bring out a smooth round flavor, and then sliced before tinning. It may be slightly aromatic, but University Flake is a robust tobacco that's perfect following a nice meal.
Rui 01724z. Confirmation I wanted to like this before I got it. But I can't say that it worked out that way. That is not to say it was bad, per se, but it was a bit over-powering to my taste. The flavor I found to be abrasive and somewhat one dimensional. That being said, I can see myself smoking this on rare occasions as a substitute for a cigar but is certainly not a relaxing smoke in my book.
University Flake is a nice, bold representation of the whole flake style. It's certainly not something I'd hand off to a novice I'm trying to get interested in the hobby, but it's also not offputingly overpowering for those interested in something with a little kick. When rubbed out and dried, it burns cool and tastes pretty much like its tin notes, which are of plums and spices. I'd recommend this stuff for someone who is interested in testing the waters outside of aromatics.
Peterson University Flake to me is about as perfect of a smoke as I have come across in my short few years of smoking a pipe and I haven't found any other blend quite like it (I prefer a mild to medium profile). I have found the flavor and smoke to be consistent from tin to tin and bowl to bowl.
Tasty and cigar-like with a hints of plum and grassy hay. Medium-strong, and burns well with fold and twist with approximately 1 hour dry-time. This one makes the cut, and will always be in my rotation!
Very good smoke. Burnt great and tasted good.
A very tasty pipe tobacco. Slightly sweet plum-like flavors, pleasant aroma. I'll definitely be buying more.
An amazing smoke... From first to last puff tastes better and better...
Tastes like a cigar. Kind of strong to me. If I wanted to smoke a cigar, I would smoke a cigar. I don't want a cigar in my pipe. Ha! This one is not for me.
