Rattray Marlin Flake
(3.31)
Marlin Flake combines dark Virginias, black cavendish as well as a pinch of perique.
Notes: A companion to Old Gowrie. A shade darker, different aroma, but otherwise a tobacco in the same tradition.

I absolutely love this tobacco, even though it is a little tricky getting used to packing. still can't seem to pack it the same way twice :(. other than that I don't have any complaints. Very pleasant aroma would highly recommend it.

Of my recent endeavors into dark, stoved virginias, Marlin Flake is one of the best, but falls behind Dark Star and Stonehaven because it seems to burn hot for me. The flavor is very good and I certainly like it, but it just seems to overheat. I commonly have this problem with various virginias because I typically smoke English blends that smoke somewhat cooler.
If you smoke more slowly than I do, Marlin Flake is a very good choice amongst dark, stoved virginias.
