Sir John's Flake Virginia

Sir John's Flake Virginia is one of the unflavored Virginia flakes produced under the John Aylesbury name. The fibers making up its slices are long and soft, with colors ranging from brown to golden yellow. A light flavoring that doesn't overpower the leaf is applied over the Virginias, positioning it as a lightly flavored Virginia rather than a full aromatic.

On the smoke, sweetness is noticeable on the tongue but measured; smoked slowly it burns cool and clean without tongue bite, and the flavor stays consistent throughout. Nicotine sits in the middle range, with body suited to smoking on its own. A good fit both for newcomers to Virginia flakes and for those seeking a plain, balanced everyday tobacco.
