| I think Kapt n’ Cook has this review nailed. I don’t have much to add other than I wonder if the curlies found in Edward G are the same as those in Director’s Cut? My guess would be yes. EG starts out quite sweet and quickly moves to spicy and the Burley is there to be heard. Since Marlin Flake seems to be the blend that this is compared to, I’ll toss in my view on that too. I like Marlin Flake and there is less casing on MF(if any at all), however, this is far more complex and interesting. Another four star blend for HU!

| The Edward G. ready rubbed flake is a middle to dark brown tobacco. The tin smell is sweet, malty and a bit sour. The tobacco is easily to pack and the tobacco burns very well. The taste of the Edward G. is natural sweet. I feel the taste malty without beeing too intrusive. After a few minutes the malty taste turns into a spicy taste with chocolate tones of the burley grades.In the background I notice the kentucky grades and the light fruitness of the perique and the virginia/perique curlies. The different tobaccos are so well balanced that the Edward G. is not boring sweet. No, the Edward G. is a tobacco with many different notes of taste. The Edward G. has a similary to Marlin Flake, but is much more complex and not so dominant sweet.In my personally range, the Director`s Cut is my number one, because the DC is a bit more complex in taste.But the Edward G. is highly recommended for VAPER lovers who likes the darker tobaccos. Maybe for lovers of Marlin Flake or SG Full Virginia Flake/St. James Flake. With the time the conclusion is almost boring, but once again two thumbs up for this HU blend :-)

| I am just smoking this for the first time as Hans sent me a sample of it along with my order. The tin will read as this: Edward G.Robinson played the notorious gangster and anti-hero in "film noir" movies and was a fascinating figure in American cinema of the 1930s and 1940s. Gaining fame as the power-hungry slob and gangster, Edward G. Robinson led the life of a sensitive art enthusiast and avid pipe smoker. In its varieties and contrasts Edward G. Robinson's life shows similarities to "Edward G…Ready Rubbed Flake". Gaining a tartly sweet character, the dark and pressed Red Virginias of assorted provenances have been finished with a little Perique and Brown Virginia. A touch of Kentucky tobacco gives the blend that extra something. "Edward G…Ready Rubbed Flake" captivates by its natural sweetness, which makes a mark on it without dominating. It is a blend just as distinctive, complex, interesting and multi-faceted as Edward G. Robinson's life and work. …distinctive, sweet, fascinating
Hans himself likens this blend to Marlin Flake but he would be short-selling himself in this matter: Edward G stands head and shoulder above it. But I can appreciate the likeness. His blend has the sharpness of Perique, the sweetness of the different Virginia's, the smoothing properties of very good Burley and some added spice by the Kentucky leaf. And it contains Vaper curlies, 15% to be exact, tying it to another newly introduced tobacco of his, Director's Cut. But that one has 55% of these curlies. It all melds into a beautiful and creamy smoke, mild and very full in taste, with a heady but not overpowering Perique finish. Seriously recommended to lovers of a natural and creatively conceived tobacco.
