I like it , This is one of only 2 flakes they make in house . I confirmed in the store that the others are McCelland they also said they are straight from the bag no additional processing so I just buy the McC now. #8 is more of a crumble cake since they don't have a steam press - the addition of the burley makes it more balanced in my opinion. My only other comment it that it is sold a bit dry for my taste but that can be batch specific.
That is a blend for/by the reddit.com/r/pipetobacco community. See HERE and HERE or search that subforum for ''Upvote'', as it was named.
Dang, now it looks like I have to order some to try. 
Thank you for the info, nurseman and bonehed.
nurseman, thanks for letting me know most of their flakes are McClelland. For some reason, their blends do not agree with my tongue so you saved me a lot of trial and error.

I like it quite a bit and am (slowly) working my way through an 8oz can.
What's the other flake they make in house? My memory is failing me.
I miss Somerset Slice. I don't THINK they made it in house, but also fairly confident it wasn't McClelland. It's pretty obvious which ones are.

I've received paint cans with rust. Feedback from others was that they are a Peretti custom and not meant for storage.
My sample arrived today and this smells wonderful. Its pretty dry though, is this normal for this blend? Just curious, it was sealed in the paint can and is now jarred up. You can get 8oz into a pint sized wide mouth Bell jar.
Thanks soy.
I like it! Smoking a bowl now. It probably wont replace St. James Flake as my go to, but it will become part of the rotation.

Smoking some of this now and I am really enjoying it. I wouldn't call it complex, but it is extremely favourful through the entire bowl. I am glad I grabbed 4 tins on a recent trip to Peretti.
