Description

Flake #558 (The measured distance in miles between Watch City Cigar and Richmond, VA, plus a couple extra miles for good measure!) This is another of our "Crumble Flakes". (A mixture of cut leaf with some whole leaf added, pressed and sliced thick). Similiar to our "Old Dominion" this rich, dark flake substitutes a rich stoved Virginia for the Matured Virginia. A wonderfully complex flake with a naturally sweet aftertaste is the result. Just a bit less Perique than Old Dominion.

    First-time customer of WCC here, and I will be back! This blend, 558 Flake, hits a really nice spot for a VaPer light enough on the perique to let the sweetness of the red Virginias shine. It's especially nice on the retrohale, as it doesn't give me that harsh "smelling salts" Perique hit that some others do. Ernie balances this one very nicely, and I appreciate the subtlety. By way of comparison, I also am trying Dominion Flake as well, but am not sure whether the Bright Va. or the greater quantity of perique in that one is less palatable to me. Either way I like them both, but 558 Flake really hits the spot.

    I rate it a solid 4Star as received, but only because I prefer a bit more natural sweetness. So, I stove the 558 at 190 degrees for 2 hours and then store it away for a couple of months. 5Star outstanding !! Or, as my old Gunny used to say, "It shines like a diamond in a goat's ass!" A great blend that many will like just as it is, then there are guys like me ;).

    Wonderful tobacco for an evening smoke with the best one on one service on line (or if you're old, like me...telephone.) My second favorite, only bested by Old Dominion.

    I let it dry in jar for 3 days still moist but good full bodied smoke. It will only get better with time
