Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Bright CR Flake

Bright CR Flake is an untopped Virginia blend produced by pressing Virginia leaves of Brazilian, Zimbabwean, and Malawian origin, letting them mature, and then slicing them into flakes. Using dark and light-coloured leaves together creates variety of colour and taste across the flakes. Even without an added topping, it carries a very light Lakeland trace from the production line. In the smoke, Virginia's typical sweet, grassy taste leads, accompanied by fruity and woody tones. It burns slow and cool, though it can bite the tongue if drawn quickly.
