Tin note is very spicy and sweet lots of fruit notes. Beautiful dark flakes. My tin was 3 years old I think the seal was broken but the tobacco was fine still slightly moist but perfect for smoking right away no drying time needed. I prefer to smoke the flakes not rubbed out but pressed lengthwise into the bowl but rubbed out will work fine. The smoke is absolutely fabulous. Its very complex sweet but not too much. Lots of spice notes like from a Christmas kitchen. Its defiantly one of the best aged Perique Vapers available. Still very smooth no harshness. Better sipped than puffed hard. If I could give it 5 stars I would. If you like perique this is a must try. Nic hit is middle flavor is middle (very satisfying ) I would not consider this an all day smoke but a really super treat once a day. Very consistent all the way through the bowl needs a few relights. burns to a fine white ash.

Cringle Flake 2020 comes in in sort of ready rubbed format of medium sized ribbon. It comes a tad overly moist, and I prefer to give it a little dry time, then rubbed out and packed. For me it does tingle the tongue a bit, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it bites. The profile is red Virginia, sugary sweet. It's that tangy plum, red fruit sweetness. There's a slight bit of spice, and a mite floral. Sipping this blend really brings out the nuances, of course, but mostly you'll get that melange of red Virginia and plummy perique. Not a favorite, but easily 4 stars. Very enjoyable.
*Edit: July 26th, 2021.. I no longer experience any bite from this blend, and I'd certainly now describe it as a phenomenal smoke. The sugary goodness of it is right up there with the like of McClelland Virginias, and that's saying a lot. Fantastic.
