flake tobacco

Flake tobacco is a type of loose tobacco prepared by compressing, slicing, or pressing tobacco leaves into solid blocks or cakes, which are then cut into thin, flat slices called flakes. These flakes can be rubbed out and packed into a pipe or smoked as is. The pressing process enhances flavor and allows for easy storage and portioning. Flake tobacco is popular among pipe smokers for its even burn and rich taste profile, offering a traditional method of enjoying tobacco that emphasizes craftsmanship and flavor complexity.
