Comprised from the same tobaccos as unscented Brown Flake, this medium bodied flake is augmented with the addition of traditional British flavorings (70%) and vanilla and fig extract (15% each).

I regretfully ordered a couple of ounces of this tobacco a few weeks ago. One bowl was all it took for me to determine I had made a mistake.
This rascal bit like a bulldog and adding insult to injury, left a floral taste in my mouth and pipe that is just now starting to subside.
Yuck!

This particular tobacco left me in a bit of a quandary. Two reviewers who?s opinions I value (Pipestud and Chaplikc) were diametrically opposed in their assessments of this flake. The solution to this quandary was simple enough ? I had to try it myself. Opportunity presented itself in the form of a very generous sample from a friend.
I was prepared to endure the overpowering floral taste to get to the good stuff. What I was not prepared for was the tongue abuse that started with the charring light. I thought it was my imagination. I smoked on. The floral taste seemed to be diminishing, but by the time I had smoked 1/3 of the bowl, I had consumed so much water that I am sure I sloshed when I walked. By the halfway point I was done. I traded the rest of the bowl for a bottle of Biotene.
Since we all smoked this pretty dry, moisture wasn?t a factor in the tongue bite. In fact, Chaplikc and I smoked it from the same sample. He wasn?t bitten. I was mauled. The proprietor of the shop said he was bitten badly too. I smoked this at a ridiculously slow rate, and since the bite started at the charring light, I have concluded that it was not my puffing technique that was at fault. The conclusion I have come to is that there is something in this blend that is simply incompatible with some people?s body chemistry.
I was among the unfortunate who cannot smoke this. I will be sure to give the rest of what I have to Chaplikc the next time I see him.
