Pfeifen Huber Virginia Flake Tobacco

Virginia Flake is a Virginia-forward blend in Pfeifen Huber's flake line. The leaves are pressed and cut into thin slices, a structure that helps the tobacco retain moisture and burn slowly. The blend carries no heavy flavoring; its sweetness comes largely from the Virginia leaf's own sugars and from the pressing process. On the palate there is a honey-and-dry-hay sweetness with a light floral edge behind it; the body sits between light and medium. Rubbing out the flake and letting it air briefly before smoking improves the burn.
