Samuel Gawith Firedance Flake
(2.69)
Developed with one of the U.S.A.'s lady smokers, FireDance is Our Best Brown 6" Flake subtly flavoured with a combination of blackberry, brandy and vanilla. The smoke is a mild, cool experience with the blackberry the predominant flavour, the brandy in the background and rounded off with the vanilla. A mild and fruity smoke with the strength of Best Brown and a very pleasing room aroma.

I don't see why this tobacco is getting the bad ratings. This is the only tobacco I've smoked thus far, that actually tastes the way it smells in the tin. It is purported to taste like blackberries and it does very nicely; not an overpowering sweetness, but the subtle taste of blackberries all the thru the bowl. The room note is pleasant and it burns pretty well considering it is a moist flake. I smoke it by bending the flakes and inserting in the bowl with sprinkles on top. It puts out a real creamy looking smoke (just like their Kendall Cream Flake). No tongue bite noted, just a smooth,creamy, blackberry tasting smoke. I give it 4-stars.

I absoloutely love this tobacco!
From the moment you unleash the raw, gummy strands of flake packed with their jammy blackberry aroma to the first mild sizzling at the top of the pipe this is a satisfying treat for nose and palate alike.
I generally smoke latakia blends and am not a huge fan of aromatics (particularly disliking overly cased "candy shop" blends) but this is something altogether different. For a start, the blackberry taste is not particularly sweet, but subtle and warming, the closest equivalent to smoking a well mulled wine.
No offensive floral overtines for me here either (if they are here you must forgive my jaded palate!). To sum up this is a fruity aromatic for those who don't like fruity aromatics - and that sublime paradox is at least enough to drive me back, again and again for just "one more bowl".
