Savinelli Brunello Flake

I can’t give it 5…it isn’t the tobacco, it’s my experience. I cannot compare this with something I haven’t smoked. That said…this is what I expect a tinned flake to be. It’s almost too seductive as a flake. You just want to keep smelling it. Taking it in, wet, smells exactly as described The flake, air dried for a little time, is like no other flake I’ve smoked yet. I won’t say it’s better than Orlik, which is a completely different smoke…but it’s presentation is the same quality…perfect flake, perfect cut, moisture spot on. And this says a lot…some flakes are just made better So, my review is more towards the quality of the cut, the balance, the intimacy of the different tobacco’s. This won’t help you decide about flavor, but a good flake indicates other things that are important to me. The taste? It’s your call. Raisin, plum, Virginia, yeah yeah…nothing new to report. But if you are a fan of presentation as well as taste…my goodness, I’ve seen few flakes do it better than this tin of Savinelli Brunello

Smells great and sweet out of the tin, but much more mellow in the room. By far my favorite tobacco. It's a little more mild on the nicotine than I'd normally want, but delicious just the same.

The description is accurate. The Virginians are sweet & tangy, the Burley makes it creamy, and Macedonian Orientals give it some spice. A little pricey, but a unique blend which is quite enjoyable.

Opening the tin I am hit with a fruit smell that I can't quite name. The flake itself burns well and tastes nice, it's the sort of thing you shouldn't make a judgement upon after the first smoke. Let it sit in the jar awhile and age.

Nice stuff smells like raisin bread

Not my cup of tea, dry, mild flavor, burns hot. I only bought it to try since my go to Erinmore Flake is not currently available in US Will not try Brunello again.

Love this stuff but two of my last purchase of ten appeared to be unusually dry inside. Not sure if I got a bad batch or if there was some mishandling.

Great tin note. I get hints of fig and raisin from this. Very enjoyable smoke.

Good flake, arrived plenty moist and smoked consistently until it was gone only slightly "dry" at the very end of the tin.

Tin note reminds me of fruit punch,amazing smelling tobacco, room note is light and the taste is consistent from first light to bottom of bowl. Burns fantastic, no tongue bite smokes cool as well. My favorite flake to date.

I'm on about my 3rd bowl and I've found this blend to be most enjoyable. I was a bit curious how the plesant aroma in the tin would taste as I'm not very familiar with citrus or tangy smelling blends. However, the smoking flavor is quite nice. I'm about 30 minutes into this bowl, just sipping along, and it does not bite the tongue or over heat. This may become my first blend to dedicate a pipe to. I like it that much.
