St. Bruno Flake is similar to the Ready Rubbed version but this tobacco comes in slices of flake, for you to prepare for smoking how you prefer. St. Bruno is for many British pipe smokers, one of the first tobaccos they try due to its popularity, quality and availability. This may be your first ever Flake or your long standing favourite, whatever the case, you won’t be disappointed.
The Flakes are easy to work with whether you rub, chop or fold and stuff. They appear uniformly shaped and dark brown in colour with a nice marbling of lighter Virginias amongst the backdrop of Kentucky leaf. Because Flakes are denser than Ready Rubbed, you may find that burn time is extended, depending on your packing method. Flavoursome smoke of semi sweet, woody and mildly citrus sour billows forth upon lighting. This satisfying tobacco delivers time and again everything that is good about pipe smoking.
