Description
The Robert McConnell Black Flake is a premium flake-cut pipe tobacco made from high-quality Virginia tobacco leaves. The tobacco has been meticulously fermented and aged to produce a remarkably dark, almost black appearance to the flakes.
This flake cut tobacco has a substantial, dense texture and body. When lit, it burns slowly and evenly, releasing rich, multi-layered flavors. The primary taste notes are deep, earthy, and slightly sweet, with underlying hints of dark fruit, chocolate, and smoky undertones.
The 5 years of aging that this tobacco undergoes allows the natural sugars and complex flavors of the Virginia leaf to fully develop and meld together. This results in a remarkably smooth, balanced, and satisfying smoking experience.
Black Flake would appeal to experienced pipe smokers who appreciate the nuanced, sophisticated character of well-aged Virginia tobacco. It pairs beautifully with a strong coffee or fine whisky. The 50 gram tin or pouch provides enough tobacco for numerous relaxing smoking sessions.
Overall, this is a high-quality, traditional-style Virginia flake tobacco that showcases the potential depth and complexity that can be achieved through meticulous blending and long-term aging. It's a true connoisseur's pipe tobacco.
