The tobacco is usually presented in thin, pressed flakes, ranging from medium to dark brown in colour.

Initially light in flavour: The first few draws reveal a delicate sweetness, with the Virginia tobacco providing a gentle grassy and citrusy note. As you progress, the Perique becomes more pronounced, introducing a spicy, peppery character to the blend. This interplay of sweet and spicy notes creates a well-balanced complexity. Finish: The finish is often described as satisfying, with the sweetness returning and the Perique spice mellowing out, leaving a lingering, slightly tangy aftertaste.

Germain's 1820 Flake is typically considered a medium to medium-full strength blend with a medium to full body, making it suitable for a broad range of pipe smokers. The room note may be perceived as slightly spicy and fruity, which can be appealing to those around you.
