Stirling Flake

Stirling Flake is a full-bodied blend where Burley, Virginia, and fire-cured Kentucky leaf are pressed tightly and sliced. The slices are prepared to crumble easily, which shortens flake preparation. The blend contains neither Latakia nor Perique; its smoky character comes entirely from the Kentucky.

Burley builds a nutty, dry ground, Virginia adds a limited sweetness, and Kentucky pulls up both body and nicotine. It suits experienced smokers looking for an unflavored, strong, filling pressed tobacco; it may feel heavy for those unaccustomed to nicotine.
