Brown Flake is a molasses colored Virginia leaf. pressed into broad flakes that are resinous and delectable. The naturally bright lemon Virginia is first air cured to draw out the simpler, nuttier flavor, then pressed to ferment in its own vital juices.

The Germain’s Brown Flake reminds you if you smoke it rubbed out with its tangy sweet tobacco flavors at a good Virginia cigar. Smoked creased and folded in a sufficiently large head the tobacco actually tastes similar to how it smells in the tin: slightly salty, with a hint of seaweed and iodine, tarry hemp ropes and peat smoke. A fascinating experience that moves you to the coast of the Island of Jersey, where the tobacco comes from. Strong it is, but gentle on the tongue, and it only leaves a little gray ash that requires little cleaning.
