These flakes are truly delicious -- MacBaren outdid themselves, and produced something far better than the ready rubbed version:

Nice review, ODF is one of my favorite blends. I also noticed the flake and ready rubbed versions are very different. The sad thing is that it's a post 2007 blend so in the future we may have to smuggle it in like some people do with cigars from that island south of Florida.
Good stuff, but I think I burned out on it after it first came out. I burned through about twenty tins quickly, and I just lost my taste for it. I have a few tins set back, one day...
:
I have 3 tins of the flake from 2013, I bought a pound of what cup o joes had listed as odf flake and was expecting a pound of flakes but got a pound of the ready rubbed, then after saw another thing under bulk odf for the one pound box. After emailing cup o joes and telling them this 3 years ago now, as well as the fact their Newminister round slices had the description of LBF and still nothing had been done about it I gave up on them
I've been meaning to pick up some of this for a while--it sounds right up my alley. Thanks for the review. I have to stop coming on the review forum, though--it's inciting my TAD to unseemly proportions. :lol:
I may be wrong, but the year I joined this forum was the year that it was released, right? I remember Brian Levine had Per on the PM Radioshow, announcing the release, 2013. Or, was I lurking for a year before joining? Crikey! I need to go look through the radioshow archives.
OK, I guess I was lurking here for a year before posting. Sorry, the Cap'ns post threw me off. Had me doin' math.
It's 1 of only 2 blends I currently smoke. So, obviously a favorite of mine but am smoking RR. Had the flake too and, while the flake seemed a tad stronger as flakes would tend to, don't see a lot of difference between the 2. If this puppy is gone in the near future due to it being post-2007, I'll be crushed.
Yes. Both are good. The flake is sweeter and fuller in taste, where the ready rubbed gives more of that dark fired full-bore flavor.
Yes I cant argue, very nice tasting blend and flake,But unfortunately, it makes my head turn and body to sweat if a full bowl is smoked,similair effect I've gotten with that Peterson Irish Flake,seems I'm better of leaving them alone for good. After trying several tins of Mc Dark FiredI had to sell 'em away,but I'm new and scarey to high nicotine tobacco,despite I can smoke most any cigar and strong Ryo cigarette and that famous Usa unfiltered Old Gold straingh with no abovementioned issues, funny thing,aint it
