Peterson Flake pipe tobacco is created using a mixture of Virginia leaf from across the world blended and processed to the original Dunhill recipe. The quality of the tobacco is to the fore with the Virginia providing notes of grass, citrus, earth, wood and a little spice on the palate. The natural sweetness of the Virginia’s continues merrily along in the background enhancing the wonderful natural tobacco flavours of this blend.

Peterson 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.

Whichever 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.
