Irish Flake's New Packaging
Irish Flake is my number 1 tobacco and I currently received my 91st and 92nd tins respectively.

No longer does it say, "A full bodied blend...- docspipe

My Take On St Bruno Flake
Although a bit pricey, the two tins I ordered arrived today. Both had a Jan 2016 production date. Upon opening a tin, there was no "rush" of any aroma as with some tobaccos. Mild sniffing brought out the vinegar preservative used (an insert inside the tin explaining the reasoning for this), and...- docspipe

Notice Any Differences With the New Irish Flake?
Irish Flake has been my number one favorite tobacco since I started smoking it in 2008 (still was in the smaller, rectangular tin). I still enjoy it, however, it is not the same as it once was. First Murrays was the blender. Then Kohlhase-Kopp (with final flake pressing by Orlik). Now (although...- docspipe

Irish Flake Comparison With Stirling Flake
Peterson's Irish Flake has been my number one tobacco for many years and after hearing K-H no longer would be producing it, I was a bit upset. Several forum posts stated that Irish Flake was being blended by Mac Baren. In response to a query, Per Jensen, himself, stated that Mac Baren is not...- docspipe
