Made from mature Virginia tobacco and Louisiana perique. The striking aroma or the periques leaves paired with the natural sweetness of the Virginias gives this blend its characteristic flavor. The core of mild, fermented Black Cavendish adds a certain sophistication, rounding off these Davidoff Flake Medallions to perfection. The blend of Virginia Flake and Perique is pressed into the thinnest of cakes and then put away to mature before being spun very tightly around a core of compacted Black Cavendish. This results in a huge cylinder of tobacco, which is again put away to mature before being cut into medallions and packaged.
