Smoking a GBD Colossus Virgin lumberman.
I was a kretek smoker for many years so I submitted a search for "clove" on Smokingpipes.com.
The only result was this.. G&H Bosun Cut Plug "unscented". As it was only available in bulk I decided to try an ounce.
Couple days later it arrived and my first thought was that it LOOKED an awful lot like bobs chocolate flake. Deep dark browns sprinkled with sticky sugar crystals. I tore open the baggie and took a whiff.. ooo sweet heavenly spices!
I impatiently packed a bowl after rubbing some out roughly. The texture was lovely; soft broken Flake with ample moisture but not wet.
The flavor had me from the first puff. Natural tasting clove, some nutmeg and allspice, and perhaps just a pinch of anise. Whoever concocted the casing sauce could probably be a chef.
The wonderful and seasonal flavors persisted throughout the bowl and left me feeling very satisfied. I'll be ordering more once the 1oz. sample is exhausted. Good on yall, Gawith and Hogarth!
