Why I have never tried this before I have no idea. My newest love is Astley's no. 44 Dark Flake. I have been a fan of Astley's 109 for years, it is a great mild all day flake that does not bite. I was perusing tobacco reviews the other day looking for flakes that I had not tried and came across this. It is blended by Kohlhase, Kopp and Co. KG which happens to blend another of my favorites Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake. At first I thought maybe these were the same blend just in a different tin, but I researched a lot of reviews and determined it wasn't the case.
The flakes are dark but with a bit of lighter tobacco running through it. It smells sweet and honey like and after letting it dry for a good hour and a half, I loaded it up. This stuff just tastes great,it is nice and sweet,there is some spice as well and has more nicotine than the Wessex and every bit as good. This stuff burns so cool and has absolutely no bite. I ordered 5 tins just having a feeling I was going to love it, and now I will be ordering lots more. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good Virginia Flake.
