Peterson Dark Flake pipe tobacco is a blend of brown/dark Virginias and premium Perique with no added flavour.  The flavour profile is complex with notes of yeasty sourdough bread, cocoa, dark expresso, dried figs, raisins, white pepper, spice and a subdued but pleasant sweetness accompanied by a slight delicious dark chocolate flavour. Blended to the original Dunhill recipe this a creamy and cool smoke. A full bodied flake which is medium to full in terms of its strength and nicotine content.

Presented in a 50g tin Peterson Dark Flake pipe tobacco should not require any additional drying and you can prepare this flake tobacco in a number of ways:

Folding and stuffing. Fold the flake in half long ways against the grain of the flake. Fold the flake in half again this time with the grain to form a square. Gently squeeze the tobacco before stuffing into the pipe bowl.

Rubbing out. Rub the flake gently between the hands to break up the flake to desired thickness before loading the pipe.

Rolling. Roll the flake with the grain generally lengthwise, squeeze gently and load into the pipe bowl.

Which ever method you use is a question of personal preference but the tobacco is best packed lightly to prevent any draw problems as flake tobacco tends to expand more so than ready rubbed tobaccos. To fully appreciate the flavour and taste we recommend it is best smoked at a slow pace.
