The tobacco is pressed into blocks and stored for minimum 30 days before they are cut into flakes. Finally the flakes are hand packed to protect the tobacco from breaking up. This flake is made of Virginias out of 2 continents. A bright yellow and a darker Virginia have been used in combination with a Modern Cavendish. A touch of Burley ensures a soft and smooth smoke. This flake gives you a natural sweet taste of tobacco and just a detectible topping of sweet, ripe fruit.
