I think, as TheIronMonkey rightly says, it would be a good idea to buy some and stock up, as prices are reasonably cheap at the moment. Lately, I've tried smoking some pipe tobacco and cigars, and I can hardly smell anything that allows me to appreciate the nuances, just a ghostly, undefined smell. And it's been like this for seven months. What's more, my sense of taste is also out of order. But nevertheless, I want to buy more tobacco, hahahaha. I'm going to ask at the store if they can get, better flake tins, I don't know if that will be possible.

Has anyone tried this? I was visiting my favorite tobacco shop, and what a pleasant surprise when I saw these tobaccos, which I haven't tried yet. With the Brazilian flag on them. If my sense of smell were working properly, I would already be trying these tobaccos, but my sense of smell is still out of service.View attachment 441529View attachment 441530View attachment 441531
Would love to try that. Brazil grows some good tobacco. If it's used right it's pretty great and unique. Most familiar in shmazlar snuffs from Germany. And also it's great to try something new.

I'm surprised it's not for sale in the US. Thanks for the information, my friend. It's encouraging that Brazil produces good tobacco.

For some reason Brazilian tobacco and Indian from the Hindustan area aren't very talked about in America. Not sure why as both are unique and great in their own right. University Flake wouldn't be what it is without the Indian tobaccos (kind of like a cross of orientals and rustica) it gives that sandalwood and buttery quality to the flake. And a few famous blends from England use Brazilian tobacco in way that shows how great it can be.

I have, I don't know, 70 kilos of tobacco sitting in plastic boxes. If my wife finds out that I'm going to buy tobacco again, I think she'll cut my head off on a night of thunder and lightning. It's frustrating, because my sense of smell is also terrible. And I can't even test those Brazilian tobaccos and give you my impressions of this tobacco here on the forum.:poop:😬😵‍💫🥴

I asked at the tobacconist's about other blends from this brand, but at the moment, those displayed in the shop window or display case. It's a shame, I wanted to buy these: Old Dark Fire, Pure Golden Virginia, and 888 Blend. I hope that in the future, they will offer more variety.

I’d like to see the dark fired here in the US. I’m pretty sure that Brazilian leaf is being used by some blending houses that relied on “imperial” burleys and Virginias for a long time.
Heck, I’d like to see a tobacconist in my area😆
Hoping you and yours are well, and still praying you get your smell back!

It's a shame that there were no cans of flake tobacco from this brand, I mean at the tobacco shop. The variety is incredible. Another frustrating thing for me is the ban on sending or receiving tobacco to the US and the rest of Europe. Here in Spain, you can get into serious trouble if you send it abroad. This government only lives to collect money, even from under rocks.:mad::mad::mad: The new law from our wonderful government is that now they will investigate your expenses, and the taxes authorities, bizum, and the state treasury will be able to stick their noses in, even if you buy or sell, give away, or send a dried piece of dog shit.
