Description

The Nurnberg brothers Friedrich and Heinrich Kapp, whose elegant Dublin tobacconist first opened for business in 1865 on Grafton Street, Dublin could scarcely have dreamt that they would participate in the birth of a legend.

Friedrich & Heinrich, who christened their shop simply 'Kapp Brothers', soon made a name for themselves making and selling quality Meerschaum and Briar Root pipes. It was not long before Charles Peterson, walked into Kapp Brothers Grafton Street premises armed with a revolutionary pipe and ambitious plans for the future.

There and then, Peterson suggested that the brothers go into partnership with him to turn his pipe dream into the world's dream pipe. They agreed and the company was renamed Kapp & Peterson. Kapp and Peterson went on to become Dublin's most fashionable and respected manufacturer and purveyor of fine smoking products. Pipe and cigar smokers would stroll down to the elegant premises for professional advice on the subtle nuances that determine a good handmade cigar or pipe. The Peterson brand was embraced by politicians, business leaders, sportsmen, artists and writers.

The skills and craft which Charles Peterson applied to his original invention are continued by the dedicated team of craftsmen at Peterson today. Whether as a gift for a friend or for your own personal use, you will appreciate the excellence of the Peterson range of cigars, tobaccos, pipes and smoking accessories.

Peterson's Signature Flake is a beautiful, entirely Virginia flake.

The tin description says it’s a "traditional English Flake" but don’t let this fool you into thinking there are other leaves in here other than Virginia.

True enough the flavours are complex and varied for a straight Virginia, you may even be fooled into thinking there’s a peppering of Perique in here.

It seems that the Virginias used have been sourced from many locations and are of different sub-types. There are certainly mature and young leaves evident.

The whole ‘grassy hay-like flavours’ typical of Virginias are not of the norm, they are riper and more mellowed than run of the mill blends. It’s like Peterson has searched their stock of Virginia, their sources too and decided to use only the very best. After all, this is a Signature Flake.

As you open the tin and come to the tobacco, you’re eyes are in for a treat! The luxurious, intriguing texture of this flake is remarkable. Like wood or marble, the grain, the flecks, light on dark, capture the imagination.

Pick up a piece and start rubbing. Release the aroma of Virginia as it should always be. When you’re ready, pack your pipe, light, tamp, light and puff.

Has Peterson cheated by adding other leaves or have they just done a superb job with this tobacco?

If you really want to get the best out of this flake, it’s advised that you smoke it using a pipe dedicated to Virginias, or even one solely for Signature Flake.

It also serves as a great smoke to initialise and realign your taste buds and palate.

At the end of the bowl, you’re left with dry ash, no sticky dottle. Your pipe is easy to clean and you are left with a pleasant aftertaste and fond memories.
