Sutliff Tobacco Company TS2 Carolina Flake

TS2 Carolina Flake is a Virginia slice in Sutliff's unflavored-leaf series. No casing is applied; the tobacco's character comes entirely from the leaf's own sugar and from pressing and slicing. The leaf used leans toward bright Virginia rather than dark red, giving the taste a lemony tartness and hay-like sweetness. Thanks to its slice structure, the burn is slow and gives fullness. The blend is used in two ways: smoked directly, or rubbed out and added to other blends to build volume and Virginia sweetness. Records note it has been used together with Oriental leaves, such as Yenidje ribbons.
