   Wow , that sounds really good. I have tried a few Peterson blends and really liked them. This morning I smoked the Peterson Navy Flake, which I would classify as mild-medium.

   That’s pretty cool how you described the Irish Flake changing flavors as you go through. I have experienced that a little bit.

   After reading this review I really want to try the Peterson Irish Flake now.

   Wow, you better be sitting down when you smoke this, and don’t have any plans either.

   I smoked this for the first time at the Richmond show when Bob gave me some. Half way through the bowl I had to excuse myself to go to bed. It was 11:30 pm and I had several drinks, so I thought it was just being tired from a long day of travel and a few drinks.

   Since then I have bought a tin and smoked Irish Flake twice.

   I have not yet been able to get through an entire bowl as the room starts to spin.

   I like Peterson Irish Flake a lot, but I have to remember to smoke it in a mini bowl, or only fill the bowl half way. I can probably save money on booze by smoking this too.

   Peterson Irish Flake: Very tasty, burns well - just make sure it is the end of the day, you are sitting down and have no plans to do anything.

   You probably shouldn’t drive after smoking this one either.

   This is stronger than my previous strongest find - SG Bracken Flake.

   My experience with Peterson’s Irish Flake was much the same as Bob’s except for the nicotine hit. Sometimes Virginia sweet, sometimes Virginia tangy and sometimes a little woodsy. The tin aroma gave that smell of fresh mown hay with something that reminded me of anise and currents. I packed it lightly using the two step instead of the three step method and was rewarded with a fine, all tobacco taste experience.
   This is definatly a tobacco I’ll keep on hand.

   I’ve noticed that myself with English blends. I can’t smoke an English blend unless I’ve had something to eat recently. Good to findout it’s not just me. I’m always okay after a snack afterwards at the least. Might give this one a try sometime.
