Contents: Virginia, Perique
Cut: Flake
Strength: mild
Flavoring: extremely mild
Taste: mild
Recommendation: **
Actually belong some tobaccos which I've rated with 2 stars, the Luxury Navy Flake deserves the third star. But for a good Virginia-Perique blend I think it is very mild on taste and strength.
This blend has a good quality Virginia leaf in it. The flakes are smelling really apetisant. It lights and smokes easy. The very first taste is a good sweet Virginia taste with just a touch of peppery Perique. I expected it to reach a satisfactory richness of taste and strength. It didn't. It smokes in its light way.
When you want the smoke to be richer at taste and strength you may puff the pipe harder. This is a kind of reflex we do without thinking sometimes. If this tobacco bites your tongue this may be the reason. You need somethin stronger.
I'll recommend it for the beginners to experience how a high quality Virginia-Perique blend tastes whit a well balanced puffing cadence.
