Hawke's Generous Sample!

Hawke sent me a message about trying some of his tobacco, waited patiently around for it to come. Finally today it was here! Gave it a go tonight and was extremely pleased! One was a crumble cake well named as Hawke's Indian Moon. Fell in love with this stuff as soon as it was lit. From beginning to end it was complex, smooth, and tasty. To me it had a nutty/creamy taste, transforming into a sweet smokey taste, merged together and began to be a little harder for me to explain. It was how you expect tobacco to be. It took one light to get to the bottom of the bowl, everything was right here. I smoked it out of my Falcon then realized the irony of smoking Hawke from a Falcon, decided to describe it as "When you smoke this from a Falcon it's sure to take flight."
The next was Hawke's Arabian Fire, a Latakia mix. While it came second in line it reminded me of a stronger Frog Morton. My inexperience with Latakia blends has me on the ropes here and I still need to get a feel for it. Still, it was well blended and smoked very similar to FM with a little more pizzazz. Certainly glad it was sent. Just another example of generosity in the members of this forum. Much thanks to Hawke, keep doing what you're doing, and happy smoking!
As a side note, he's one of those people that uses plenty of tape and packs things four times. So getting it out of the box was both surprising and took a little work making it fun. The pictures are a bit fuzzy, but that's because I have a dinosaur phone so here's the best I could get.
After opening the paper wrapped super taped box I found the Carter Hall box.



Then came a ziplock bag with two brownies in it lol



Arabian Fire in a little bag, taped up at the top of course.


Here's Hawke's Indian Moon...now to get a cake sized crumble cake of this!



Then Hawke's Arabian Fire

I'm going to have to pressure him to know about indian moon. I feel like it is a VaPer/Burley but there's something different about it....it's so different for me being kinda new I'm not sure. It was easy to light, burned all the way through, and is pleasant. I don't know about the nicotine as I smoke entirely too much.

I just searched "Indian Moon" and came across pictures of a moth I've been finding in the area this past year. Well, at my grandfather's there are a ton of them...interestingly enough today, I was smoking Indian Moon and found 2Indian Moon Catter passed them off as a random caterpillars.

This is the interesting part Doesn't say a thing about them being in Kentucky. Exact same things I've held three of. Have a picture on my phone....I call this an interesting coincidence.

I have yet to break into the other ounce, and haven't been on the forums much as of late. Another Carter Hall box with a surprise inside made my day!
Jeffrey, Hawke is certainly a great guy.

Once more Hawke sends a care package! I have not been able to order anything in a while. So far I have only smoked Mac Baren Modern Virginia, which has now made it's way into my regular smokes. He sent tons of Lat blends, and even some whole leaf lat blending tobacco! If I can't get a feel for latakia and make the final decisions now....I guess I'm out of luck. The best part of this package....I had asked if he could make the Hawke's Indian Moon into a plug. Of course, he did and could. It's a super tight plug, smells good, looks good, and before I put that up for aging, it will likely get a little clipped off to test it out. Here's a quick picture of what he sent!
Thanks again,

It's always appreciated.
