University Flake

Peterson University Flake 50g Pipe Tobacco is a traditional pressed flake combining selected Virginia and Burley tobaccos with a subtle touch of plum flavouring. Richer and more robust than many straightforward Virginia flakes, University Flake balances the natural sweetness of Virginia with the deeper, nuttier character of Burley to create a distinctive medium-to-strong tobacco.

The foundation of Peterson University Flake is a carefully selected combination of Virginia and Burley tobaccos. Different grades of Virginia contribute natural sweetness, grassy and earthy tobacco notes, while the Burley provides additional body, depth and a characteristic nutty quality.

During production, the selected tobaccos are slowly pressed together into dense cakes, allowing the different leaves to integrate before the finished tobacco is sliced into uniform flakes. This traditional preparation produces the distinctive dark and golden-brown marbled appearance associated with University Flake.

A subtle plum flavouring completes the blend, adding a gently fruity aromatic character without completely masking the underlying Virginia and Burley tobaccos.

A Traditional Virginia & Burley Flake with Plum

Peterson University Flake Pipe Tobacco is distinguished by its traditional pressed preparation and combination of naturally sweet Virginia with fuller-bodied Burley. Rather than being supplied as a loose ribbon or ready-rubbed mixture, the tobacco is pressed into cakes before being carefully sliced into individual flakes.

The Virginia tobaccos provide the sweeter and brighter foundation of the blend, while Burley introduces greater body and a deeper, nuttier tobacco character. A restrained plum topping adds a subtle fruit note, complementing rather than overwhelming the natural qualities of the leaf.

Presented in a classic 50g pipe tobacco tin, Peterson University Flake is a distinctive example of a Virginia and Burley flake tobacco. Its combination of pressed Virginia and Burley leaf, traditional flake cut and subtle plum flavour gives Peterson University Flake 50g an immediately recognisable identity within the Peterson pipe tobacco range.
