Mr. Christian’s Flying Dutchman Flek

Flying Dutchman Flek is a broken-flake presentation of Dutch-style Cavendish made from Virginia, Oriental, and Burley leaf. The maker explains that Dutch Cavendish generally refers to a slice-cut tobacco blend converted into brown Cavendish and dressed with fruit-inclusive aromatic casings; it's sold as 2 oz. bulk.

The Cavendish process strips the leaf's sharpness and brings sweetness forward, while the slice structure slows the burn. Suited to those seeking a classic continental European-style slice that's flavored but not heavy on sugar, and who are used to working with slice-cut tobacco.
