Having heard this flake had a fruity top note to it, I wasn't sure if I should get some. Of course, curiosity prevailed and I managed to get a few tins of it.
The top note is very fruity, kind of akin to grapefruit, I find, and some citrus. Almost a month after opening I can still smell it distinctly. The flakes are mostly medium dark and when you rub them out you have a shag cut tobacco to pack your pipe.
I can't compare it to Brown Flake as my memory of it is extremely remote. But I have been very pleased with Medium Flake. It smokes very well, it does not bite and the top note is, simply, delicious. It's not the same as Erinmore Flake but I tend to associate the two, taste wise, because of the flavoring. Also, Medium Flake is one of the rare Germain's offerings that does supply the smoker with a half decent dose of nicotine.
Anyway, I like it and if you're a fan of this type of Virginias, give it a try if you find some.
