Characterisation:
The S.V.H. Flake in the 250g Economy Pack presents itself as a carefully pressed flake tobacco. The flake slices are marbled in light and medium brown with larger dark brown and straw-colored inclusions. Upon opening the pack, a seductive scent reminiscent of vanilla crescent cookies emerges. The tobacco slices possess a pleasant residual moisture, are elastic, and are excellent to work with.
Plugging:
Due to its elasticity, S.V.H. Flake is ideally suited for the fold-and-stuff method. Alternatively, it can be rubbed out into a ready-rubbed mixture, depending on personal preference. The tobacco is very forgiving and even tolerates a slightly firmer pack.
Light up:
S.V.H. Flake takes the flame very well thanks to its optimal conditioning. After the initial lighting, smooth briefly with the tamper and light a second time – an even ember is established for a relaxed smoke.
Smoking properties:
This flake delivers what the description promises: a wonderfully soft and mellow smoking pleasure. Despite the fine vanilla aromatization, the tobacco character remains recognizable with notes of crusty bread and light woody nuances. The mouthfeel is pleasantly structured, similar to the tannins of a good wine. The burn is completely uncomplicated and leaves behind only fine, dark gray ash.
Redolency:
The room note is subtle and unobtrusive, yet appears naturally spicy. Therefore, consideration should be given to non-smokers when in company.
Conclusion:
The 250g Economy Pack of S.V.H. Flake offers excellent value for lovers of this mild Virginia blend. With its uncomplicated smoking behavior, it is perfectly suited for both experienced connoisseurs and beginners.
