St. Bernard Flake

St. Bernard Flake is one of Dan Tobacco's Virginia/perique blends produced pressed and sliced. The tin scent is sweet and tart, carrying a fermented side tone. Being flake cut, the leaves need to be rubbed out or folded before packing.

On the smoke there's a deep sweetness accompanied by a light tartness, and a pronounced perique pepperiness spreading through the whole bowl. Fullness is medium. It suits smokers seeking unadulterated pressed Virginia tobaccos that change with aging and perique spice; not for those expecting a sugary aromatic.
