This nicely prepared broken flake is predominantly darker brown and reddish VAs that have a higher moisture content than I prefer and seem to hold it even as aged. I don't rub out such tobaccos and had to make some adjustments in my packing techniques. I also had better results and much better and evener flavor development in large sized bowls smoked @ a slow pace. The pouch aroma is very inviting and smells as good as many aromatics. Unfortunately, the Perique content resulted in many complaints from the family regarding the room aroma. Perhaps since I smoke straight VA flakes more often, I enjoyed the 1st third of the bowls more than when the spicey Perique kicked in later. However this is overall a cool and effortless smoke if you prefer that taste. Bulk McClelland 2015 remains my favorite in this category.
