If "full-bodied", "Full-flavoured" and "strong tobacco flavour"" means harsh, bitter and stinging, then this tobacco pushes all those buttons.
I'm with Pseudo Nim on this one. It's very monotone and cetainly did not make me think of cosy Scottish hunting lodges. It made me think of burning tyres or a scrapyard fire. I could not detect any of the floral casing or sweetness described in earlier reviews.
I should have taken more notice of the description "for experienced smokers": My olfactory nerve endings have not net been rendered crusty enough not to be stung by this overpowering blend. I'm glad I couldn't buy a 50g pouch.
I'm sure some people like it though.

This one hasn't been reviewed in a while, not too difficult to see why, most smokers of this this this, dare I say blend ? do not survive, if you would like a slightly toned down Irish Flake, then this could be for you, it is strong with a rancid side stream and no redeeming qualities. Smoking slowlyonly increases the torture, on yourself, pipe and any poor devils in your presence.

This truly is one tough smoke. It has a very odd aroma: a cloying sweetness, with that infamous soapy undertaste of many British industrial tobaccos, very different from Dunhill's Light Flake raisin-like flavor or even Gawith's Full Virginia Flake. The nicotine content in this one hits you like a ton of bricks, and the room aroma, far from pleasant, is overwhelmingly stuffy.
It is a very moist flake, cheap, and following Paddy's contention, it does have that very peculiar Murray's denouement: somewhere in between Erinmore and University Flake. Just add about 10 notches strength wise.
