Davidoff: FLAKE MEDALLIONS 50g

Flake Medallions from Davidoff is always in my tobacco cellar. It is tasty and smooth every time I smoke it. As usual, 4 Noggins sent my order quickly, and with all items correctly delivered.

Out of everything ive ever tried, this is my #1 fav!

Brilliant selection and service from 4N!

As I've said elsewhere, Davidoff's Flake Medallions aren't exactly hiding any depth, but they *are* as advertised: a Va/Per with a candy center of Cavendish. And no aeration required! Just rub out those coins, dry it out a bit, stuff & puff. Easy. Reliable. Decent price. Better presentation than Escudo... better flavour, too! I'm looking forward to comparing these to Stokkebye's Bulls Eye Flakes, but I have to wait until next year to do so; the Stokkebye line has a reputation for rushing their tobaccos out the door without allowing them to mature first, so once they've aged properly I'll do the comparison.

Until then, Davidoff's hits the bullseye themselves as a right-now pipe tobacco, the way it should be when you pop a tin.

One of the first tobaccos I tried when I began smoking a pipe and to this day it remains a firm favourite. Easy to pack, stays lit well and smokes down to a fine white ash every time. It is easily my favourite Vinginia/perique blend and the cavendish adds something very special that other blends don't have. It is sweet, mellow and very relaxing and I think is a great beginning point for anyone delving into flakes for the first time.
