At the start, Silver Flake presents as mild and approachable, with the Virginias offering a soft grassy sweetness and bready undertone but not much assertiveness. About halfway through the bowl, the character changes: the Perique steps forward with its subtle fig and plum-like tang, adding just the right amount of peppery spice, while the dark-fired Kentucky grows fuller and rounder, bringing earthy depth, nutty body, and a richer spiciness.

This developmental arc — from mild Virginia entry to Perique-spiced, Kentucky-fortified crescendo — makes Silver Flake a rewarding, contemplative smoke that repays a slow cadence and ages gracefully in the jar. Looking forward to jarring it and seeing the change after a few years.
This is a very high quality blend with strong taste of pure tobacco. A little spicy
