Capstan Original Flake is a mellow blend of fine flue-cured tobaccos that has been enjoyed by Virginia fans for more than a century. A favorite of J.R.R. Tolkein, this smooth and sweet blend of Brightleaf tobaccos is pressed and sliced to allow the smoker the option of how to prepare it. There are notes of grass, hay, and citrus that make it perfect for a slow, meditative experience.
