Tavern Tobacco Co. McCraigan's Flake
(2.80)
Lord MacCraigan was visiting London on business and wandered into a cozy looking pub for a wee dram. He quickly fell in love with the house tobacco, an exquisite English flake. When the owner of the pub refused to give Lord MacCraigan the recipe for the flake so MacCraigan's local Highlands tobacconist could replicate it, old Haimish did what any self respecting Scots Lord would do: he bought the pub lock, stock and tobacco recipe. One puff and we know you'll agree it was a bargain at any price! An exquisite hand blended Virginia/Latakia flake,smooth enough for all day smoking.

I opened this tin not expecting much after the description of the tobacco which I thought was a lure for mediocrity in disguise. Surprisingly, I liked it. Well prepared flakes perfectly lined up and ready to be smoked. The moisture level was spot on (unlike Laurel Flake which needs time to dry out), and this burned right down to the bottom. Nothing fancy here tastewise, just good Latakia with Virginias interplaying throughout the smoke. I've had better, but I would recommend this for sure.
