This Stirling Flake is one of Rattray's more intense tobaccos. What you get with a bold combination of Dark Fired Kentucky, Burley, and Virginia is a blend that punches harder than most others. Because of it's power we suggest smoking it at night or after a full meal.

Rattrays Stirling Flake
Fantastic full body flavor. Medium Nic hit. Burns well with little dry time. Rubs out nicely. Kentucky is at the fore front with chocolaty Burley close behind followed by sweet Virginia's. Cellar deep.

Stirling flake
Beautiful as always! And you people always have it in stock, and send it right away! I can always count on you!

It is simply haven. I have already ordered more tins!
I really love robust thick slabs of tobacco. It makes me dream of Stonehaven days gone by.

I love this tobacco, and I have an order in for more!
This tobacco is one that I get excited just thinking about! Between this and Wallace Flake, I could set forever!

A strong, satisfying smoke. Not for the weak!
This is the strongest tobacco I've ever smoked, as far as nicotine punch. It perceived it to be about 20% stronger than Royal Yacht, which is saying something. The flavor is good, no nonsense. But as others have said, I have to agree that Stirling Flake is best enjoyed on a full stomach.

This stuff is no joke!
Very earthy and woody, with just a little Virginia sweetness. Smoke it slow or it gets a little bitter. Not for the nicotine sensitive!

Pipe tobacco
Big fan of blends that are dark fired tobacco forward. This ranks right up there in the top in pleasing my palate.

Rattray's Stirling Flake
This is a fine tobacco, in my opinion. All I expected from a flake. Bold, full flavor.

Rattray's Stirling Flake
I ordered a couple of tins of this tobacco when Peterson Irish Flake was out of stock. It came recommended to me as a close match to IF. Very good. Full-flavored yet smooth. What I need to do is compare the two tobaccos side by side. But I will purchase this flake again, even when Pete's IF is back in stock.
