Here’s a detailed profile of Doctor Pipe — Burley Flake Cut (50 g):
📦 Overview & Composition
- Blend type: A Burley‑forward flake built on a base of Burley with supporting Virginia and a touch of Dark‑Fired Kentucky(VaBur style), with no added flavorings. [charutosonline.com]
- Leaf proportions: Community/product notes indicate Burley exceeds 60 % of the mixture, complemented by Golden Virginiasand a “whisper” of Dark‑Fired Kentucky. [cachimbosf...tes.com.br]
- Origin: Manufactured in Brazil
✂️ Cut, Pressing & Packaging
- Cut style: Flake cut — the varietals are pressed under high pressure, matured, and sliced into long flakes. [cachimbosf...tes.com.br]
- Packaging: Offered in 50 g tins
- Release timing (Brazil): Retail listings cite a September 2024 launch for Burley Flake. [cachimbosf...tes.com.br]
🌿 Flavor & Aroma Profile
- Core character: Earthy and woody with nutty, cocoa/almond‑like accents typical of mature Burley; Virginia adds natural sweetness while Kentucky lends subtle strength and spice. [cachimbosf...tes.com.br]
- Additional nuances: Some shop/reviewer notes mention plum/dried‑fruit hints emerging from the pressing/maturation.
- No casing/aromatics: Labeled “sem aromatizantes” / no flavorings — the profile is driven by leaf character, not toppings. [charutosonline.com]
🔥 Smoking Experience
- Strength & body: Medium to medium‑full (“fortaleza média pra forte”), designed for smokers who enjoy a more robust, Burley‑centric experience.
- Burn behavior: Retail/user notes praise the flake fineness and steady burn; one early review reported few relights (but also flagged a moisture/mold issue on a specific tin — likely a quality‑control outlier, not a general trait). [cachimbosf...tes.com.br]
- Pairings: Commonly suggested as a post‑work or evening smoke, pairing nicely with whisky, cognac, or black tea.
🧪 Leaf Handling & Maturation (production notes)
- Burley curing/maturation: The Burley used was reportedly cured since 2022 in Tabacco Way’s warehouses (large, lightly pressed bales in jute sacks), contributing to the matured, rounded Burley profile before flake pressing. [cachimbosf...tes.com.br]
🏁 Who It’s For
- Burley lovers who want the leaf’s natural earth, wood, and nut/cocoa tones without sweet casings. [charutosonline.com]
- Flake enthusiasts who enjoy the ritual of folding/rubbing out and packing a well‑pressed Burley flake. [cachimbosf...tes.com.br]
- VaBur fans looking for a balanced Virginia sweetness under a Burley‑dominant profile, with Kentucky adding quiet backbone.

💡 Tips for Preparation
If your flakes arrive on the moist side, a brief air‑dry (10–20 min) before packing often improves ignition and reduces relights — a general best practice with flakes. (For technique, see Smokingpipes’ short how‑to on packing flake tobacco.) [youtube.com]
