• Strength -Medium to Full

Peterson Irish Flake Pipe Tobacco is a full bodied blend of air cured, fire cured and dark fired Virginia pressed with Burley leaf cooked and matured before being sliced. True to the authentic taste of the constituent tobaccos this full strength tobacco provides rich tobacco flavours on the palate. The slightly sweet, tangy citrus, smoky notes of the Virginia marry perfectly with the nutty/ woody Burley. Rich and complex this full bodied blend is sure to please. Medium to full in terms of its strength and nicotine content this is a rich and satisfying smoke.

Presented in a 50g tin Peterson Irish 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.
