Mac Baren HH Burley Flake
Upon opening the rectangular tin, I’m greeted with three rows of perfectly aligned dark brown solid flakes. They feel slightly damp, but do not need to dry. I usually fold and stuff, but rubbing out works well if that’s your preference. When smoking, I taste nuts, some earthiness, and...- samw74
