Today for my birthday I stopped into a tobacconist I had never visited, (Stag in CO Springs) and picked up a new tobacco- Peterson Irish Flake. I asked for something strong and this fits the bill. I smoked a bowl an hour or so ago and feel pretty comfy sitting by the fire. It is the first flake I've tried and I enjoyed it very much, it has an insense like smell and taste I haven't been able to place, (maybe sandle wood or frankensense?).
Anyway, it is pretty strong and I'm glad I smoked it on a full stomach. At the store they warned me to start off slow with it. I think I'll try some other flakes, Virginias and VaPers. I have three new pipes coming tomorrow, (a lot off of ebay) and I plan on setting one aside for these as I usually smoke Latakia blends.
Any other Irish Flake fans here?
