Deerstalker - Rubbed
Virginia Flake
 |
|
The original concept for Deerstalker called for it to be physically
similar to Escudo - a rolled flake cut into quarter sized disks.
This proved impossible as the aged contraption McConnell had
for pressing tobacco to this shape wouldn't work! After some
discussion, it was decided that it would be a partially rubbed
conventional flake. Ken had met some smokers who were unaware
flakes should be "crumbled" and as he didn't want to
print instructions on the tin he decided to crumble it for them. |

This is a partially rubbed out flake of matured Virginias. By
now they are undoubtedly very mature! Many smokers have made
it a point to mention that Deerstalker was the finest Virginia
they've smoked, and what a shame it's no longer being made. Agreed. |
