Former’s Straight Grain Flake

Former’s Straight Grain Flake is a masterful Virginia flake crafted for the discerning pipe smoker who appreciates purity, balance, and natural sweetness. Made from specially selected, matured Virginias, this blend is pressed and slowly aged before being sliced into beautiful golden-brown flakes with a striking straight grain pattern—true to its name and heritage.

Upon first light, expect a clean, naturally sweet Virginia character with notes of hay, fresh-baked bread, and a subtle citrus brightness. As the bowl progresses, the flavor deepens into layers of caramelized sugar, light malt, and a gentle earthy undertone that speaks to its careful fermentation. The smoke is smooth, refined, and effortlessly cool, ideal for slow sipping to unlock its full complexity.

This is a tobacco that rewards patience—both in the cellar and in the pipe. Whether enjoyed fresh for its lively high notes or aged for additional depth and darker sweetness, Former’s Straight Grain Flake stands as a sterling example of classic Virginia craftsmanship.
