Dark Flake Aromatic

Dark Flake Aromatic is a strong flake blend where Malawi- and Indian-origin fire-cured dark leaves are combined in equal proportions and pressed. It rests on the same body as unflavored Dark Flake; the difference is the application of traditional English sauces based on licorice root, maple, and tonka bean. The slices are dark-colored, heavy, and oily.

On the smoke, the fire-cured leaf's smoky, spicy taste leads; the topping doesn't mask it but lays a measured sweetness underneath. Nicotine is among the brand's highest examples, and the smoke is filling. It burns slowly, and the slices need to be rubbed out and aired. An entry suited to experienced smokers who love dark, strong tobaccos and want a light sweetness added to them.
