I've noticed these blends for years and seem to stand out for being similar but more expensive versions of popular blends. On tobaccoreviews some like Royalty seem rather well regarded but I don't know how popular they really are. I'm wondering what ya'll think of them.

I have heard about how stellar the Davidoff flake medallions are, but I have so much Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake, Escudo, Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls that I got far cheaper that I never dipped my toes in that pond.
Somewhere in the cellar are some Davidoff tins, I just never stocked it deeply.
The reviews generally rate the Davidoff Flake Medallions higher than what I have cellared, but what I have cellared works for me.

I've also never tried a Davidoff pipe tobacco. I've tried their cigarettes and and cigars many ages ago but like you said, they just seem to be rebranded copies. Other than the flake medallions I don't recall ever having seen someone smoking Davidoff pipe tobaccos across any forums.

I’ve got some Flake Medallions somewhere. Haven’t cracked a tin yet, though.

Flake Medallions are excellent and while certainly similar to many others in that genre, many of which I have and enjoy, they are unique. I like them a lot. A bit pricey and often out of stock though. I have never tried any of the others and I don’t think I have any of them so I would be curious to hear more too.

I can only join in praise of the Flake Medallions. I bought out the shop when they got imported two years back.
