Fribourg & Treyer Vintage Flake Pipe Tobacco
Fribourg & Treyer is one of the most recognised names in London tobacco, with roots in the city’s trade of the 1700s. Vintage Flake is the flake-cut entry in the line, offered here in the 1.75oz tin. We list only what the maker’s own record supports, so leaf composition and tasting notes do not appear below; they will be added when the manufacturer’s specification is in hand.

How should I prepare a flake for smoking?
A flake can be folded and stuffed whole for the slowest burn, rubbed out fully for the easiest light, or broken into coarse pieces for something between the two. Each method changes the burn rate rather than the blend, so it is worth trying all three to find the one that suits your pipe.
How should I store an opened tin?
Press the lid down firmly after each use and keep the tin out of direct sunlight. For longer keeping, transfer the flakes to a sealed glass jar; this holds the moisture level steady and is the usual practice for cellaring tinned tobacco.

This is my favorite pipe tobacco of all time. Yes, the seemingly unremarkable -but perfectly crafted Flake. It was one of the first nonaromatic tobaccos I ever tried. Since then, I have smoked tins of easily over 50 different blends from every kind of blending style I could find. I always come back to this wonderfully consistent straight Virginia flake .

Sharp, fermented bread notes from the tin. All the flavors under the rainbow once lit. If you can’t find this in stock I suggest Wessex Brown Flake. It’s very similar.
