    St. Bruno Flake

    It is available online in the UK, but I cannot tell about the US. St. Bruno Flake

    I am not quite sure, but I guess it is.

    GH Dark Flake

    I totally adore GH Dark Flake, but it is something of an acquired taste.

    St. Bruno Flake

    For a cheap convenience store blend you can still buy at Tesco's, this is one of the best all-rounder full-bodied every-day smoke I have ever had so far. These flakes comprise of virginia/burley tobaccos, and the room-note is something to die for. In the description above it says this is an...

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    It is tree stars out of four. BTW, this is what the flakes look like:

    Tordenskjold Virginia Slices

    The tin note is absolutely gorgeous-sort of raisins and figs with a hint of vanilla. The moist content, on the other hand, seems to be about right, but I had my tin open for a while to have a breather before I decided to finally load my bowl and light up. I find the room note very pleasing, but...

    Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake

    It really is all that strong. As a matter of fact, this is probably the strongest tobacco in the nicotine department I have ever tried.

    Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake

    You usually expect a tobacco to evolve and get stronger as you progress more and more in your smoke, but this particular one shows all of its strength as you light up your bowl right from the outset. This is a full-bodied/strength tobacco that might turn the stomach of the most experienced...

    I quite agree with this. Sometimes, I even wonder myself if this is the case with all the Samuel Gawith's blends and mixtures as well. It does not matter what tobacco you might be smoking: they all have the same undertone. I am not saying this in a bad way, that is, to berate or run down, but it...

    Is this one of the Lakelands? I dare to say it is. For a non-aromatics, I find this tobacco rather soapy, but not in a bad way. It will dissipate as you progress in your smoke though. There is this floral aroma in it which is quite apparent from the outset as you light up your pipe. I find the...

    I am still trying to get my head around it, but thanks a lot.

    Red Rapparee

    This is a ribbon cut easy to pack tobacco, but the tin will benefit from some drying time. When I bought it I wasn't all too sure whether it had any Latakia in it or not, but it has. Not that I was disappointed to learn about it, but I guess I was more focused on exploring oriental tobaccos when...

    Beginners tobacco choices:

    Avoid aromatics.

    They call these "YABOS" (yet another box opening) and they are very popular with us pipe smokers. :)

    Sorry about the delay, but I found this in my email today:

    1792 Flake

    As I opened the tin, I was hit with a hint of vanilla. The tin note was actually quite pleasant, so I wondered whether I would actually enjoy it. I find the appearance of the flakes quite suggesting despite their different sizes and lengths. It just looks like rotten wooden strips, which...

    Erinmore Heaven - Thanks, Erik

    Really nice

    Tongue Coated With Nicotine?

    You'd be dead if your tongue was coated with nicotine.

    HH Old Dark Fired

    I have already tried it, but I am unsure as to what's in it. I have done a review and all. This is what I said: This tobacco is a nice combination of Virginia and Burley tobaccos (VaBur). The tin note is rather pronounced and has a nice vinegary/ketchup tone to it. The flakes are well presented...

    Thank you all for your comments, but I am still none the wiser. :(
