Davidoff Pipe Tobacco Flake Medallions – 50g tin

Davidoff Pipe Tobacco Flake Medallions – 50g tin is a true classic for connoisseurs seeking the natural flavour of tobacco combined with refined elegance. The artfully cut ‘coins’ combine sweet, ripe Virginia with the spicy, fruity depth of Perique – and are wonderfully rounded off by a gently fermented Black Cavendish core. The result is a balanced VaPer blend that doesn’t make a loud statement, but shines through its balance: pleasantly cool, richly aromatic and yet surprisingly suitable for everyday use. Whether as a quiet evening companion or a moment of conscious indulgence in between – this tin feels like a little ritual that you’ll be happy to repeat.

Coin Cut with character: pressed, rolled, perfectly cut

Davidoff Flake Medallions are produced using traditional methods: a blend of Virginia and Perique is pressed into thin layers and left to mature before being tightly wound around a core of pressed Black Cavendish and then cut into coin shapes. This allows you to enjoy the tobacco in a variety of ways: either rub the coins loose (easier to light, livelier start) or pack them using the ‘fold & stuff’ method (slower, cooler and particularly aromatic). The aroma profile often features natural notes of bread/toast, hay and dark fruit – typical of Virginia/Perique – without the need for any flavouring. This is precisely what makes the blend so superb: the flavours come from the tobacco itself.

Tobaccos & Origin: Virginia meets Louisiana Perique

The Virginia comes from selected growing areas in regions of Virginia and North Carolina, whilst the Perique is described as ‘pure Perique tobacco from Louisiana’. In the pipe, the Virginia provides natural sweetness and a warm foundation, whilst the Perique adds accents of dark fruitiness (often rose-like or plum-like) and a subtle peppery spice. The mildly fermented Black Cavendish at its core makes the smoking experience noticeably creamier and rounder – ideal if you like VaPer complexity but are looking for a particularly harmonious overall profile. Smoked at a leisurely pace, the tobacco burns calmly and evenly, with a pleasantly consistent flavour right to the end.
