Dan Tobacco Skipper's Flake

After the reading the reviews I ordered several cans . The first can displayed a really nice looking display of light colored virginia . No tin note , just fresh smelling and inviting looking tobacco . The big problem with this blend is being presented very , very dry . I thought it might have been poorly kept . Lighting up presented a very hot burning inferno that gave me rapid tongue bite , too harsh to complete the smoke . Too bad because this is a really nice rendering of what we love in Va flakes . I tried another can some time later and it was really too dry to smoke straight so I mixed it with other Va flakes and could taste some hay and natural sweetness . The third can was also too dry to smoke so I hydrated it but not pleasing . I wonder if Dan made it dry for a market that demands dryness . If you like a hot smoke this is the one for you . If not , just let it pass .
