Peterson University Flake review

[LEP7cv]

was browsing some reviews and stumbled upon this one, which I rather disagree, but maybe some more experienced pipers here can back it up?

University Flake is one of my favorite tobaccos and I smoke a fair amount of it. Keep in mind that taste is subjective so what I detect may not be how you perceive it. To me, the tin note has a note of blueberry or plum. This berry taste continues throughout the bowl, but never overpowers or sublimates the natural tobacco taste. I find UF a decently strong smoke, not super strong but satisfying to me. I enjoy the berry taste and the room note it provides. It burns evenly for me with only an average number of relights. All in all, a flake tobacco that I enjoy a great deal.

Little too much topping for me. However, it's a decent smoke. Still have few tins rolling around somewhere.

I just cannot attribute the sweetness to what he's referring to....

It may depend on how developed one's palate is in perceiving these flavors. One of the reasons I enjoy UF is that I do get a slight sweetness throughout the smoke. I too attribute it to the Virginia contained in the blend. Again, how we perceive tastes is subjective.

I suspect he meant virginias ...

Well if you're gonna use them, it's best when they're "choice" !

Sorry guys. I get the joke now. I didn't see it at first. Now I'm laughing too.

was losing hope on humour among pipers

Anyone else getting raisin from it? If so, might have to give it a try. Been looking for a tobacco with those notes.

Too much topping, otherwise quite decent smoke with more than medium nicotine hit.

I don't get much raisin but I'm also not getting quite the flavors that are referenced in the posted review, lol.

Always the quest to find "choice vaginas." LMAO

So that’s why they called it “University Flake”!

 

[Hutch Piper]

I rather enjoy this blend. I get a plum scent. Good tobacco.

More like “Coed Flake” apparently

I have a tin I wasn't planning to open tonight but maybe...
Purely in the interest of science or something.

 

[Servant King]

That's a borderline Larry David typo, for sure!



Aunt, I meant beloved aunt!!

 

[RookieGuy80]

Well that's the most creative way to say cherry flavor I've seen! I've been getting plum from my tin though. Choice plum to be sure, but not the same choice sweetness he's tasting.

Two posts in and nobody picks up on what OP apparently posted this for in the first place so can't wait to point it out - guess we can discuss this at recess and whether Mrs. Weatherford's skirt was showing while she read another chapter of our story at nap time.
