From the creator:

Port Guardian

Full Red Virginia Flake consists of five grades of aged, Mahogany, and Orange, rich flue-cured leaf from VA, NC, GA, and Canada. The tobacco is pressed and stored for an extended period, transforming it into a flake. Then, the tobacco is cut and gently packed in a vacuum tin. 

 

To be more precise, I would say it is my take on a Capstan Blue, a tobacco my father also enjoyed a lot—but a Capstan Blue from before 1960, made under the English Purity Law.
