Bought Some Several New Flake Tobaccos Today

[redglow]

Found these at a couple of different BMs today. Not sure what to expect. But, I’ve never met a tobacco that I didn’t like.
Any feedback on these would be appreciated.

Peterson Signature Flake
Erinmore Flake
Mac Baren Virginia Flake

I have only tried the 1792. I love it! Some say it is a love it or hate it tobacco. Keep us posted regarding your list of what you like and dislike. Enjoy glow ::

Wonderful! I too just got some 1792 flake, though mine's been aged a bit. Can't wait to try it. Is it a ghosting tobacco? Maybe I'll just grab a cob...

 

[leafsmoker]

Olkofri-- I would say in a briar, it has slight ghosting. When I smoked it in briars I did not have a huge problem. I mostly smoke my Meerschaums now, so it is definitely not a problem to me.

 

[olkofri]

Gotcha. Cool, I can try it in a briar. I guess it's only Ennerdale the one to watch out for.

Be seated when you smoke the 1792 and be careful when you stand up. Powerful stuff! Erinmore is a classic with a very pleasant topping. Despite the pineapple symbol of hospitality on the tin, the flavoring is not pineapple.

Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake

:worship:

Erinmore is my go to when I have t think. I love it’s gentle Juicy Fruit chewing gum flavor balanced with the tobacco flavors for clearing my head, and it has some nicotine to it... but not too much. MBVF is a very good unadulterated Virginia. I hope you like it. 1792 is great just before bed, for me. It’s strong, but not insane. Signature Flake is ok, but doesn’t rock my world. I’ll be interested in reading what you think.

Gentlemen, Thanks for the feedback and the words of wisdom!
So far, tonight, I've smoked a bowl of Mac Baren Virginia Flake and Peterson Signature Flake.
I can definitely say that both were excellent and I'm very glad to have picked them up! Amazing flavor and very slow burning. I didn't want them to end they were so enjoyable. I bought 2 100 gram tins of the Peterson Signature Flake. So, I'm glad I liked it so well.
Tomorrow night, I'll dive into the Erinmore Flake and then close out the evening with my first 1792 Flake experience. I just opened the 1792 tin and it smells great. Just like chocolate cake or brownies. Definitely looking forward to that.
I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!

Oh, OK. Thanks for the warning. I normally smoke when driving; I'll pack a small bowl.

Erinmore Flake

It has been so long since I smoked it. It is exactly how Cosmic describes, fruity tobacco flavor.

 

[rdavid]

fruity tobacco flavor.

Yeah it's pineapple right?
But it's right there... on the lid! :rofl:

 

[rdavid]

Is it a ghosting tobacco?

I thought 1792 had a strong lakeland essence? I haven't tried it yet so please correct me if I'm wrong.
I know Conniston Cut Plug is one of the milder ones and it heavily ghosted a pipe after only a couple of bowls.
Might want to try 1792 in a cob just to be safe.

Peterson Signature, is, IIRC, one of the Peterson's being discontinued. I have not smoked the others.

1792 does not have the lakeland essence. It has tonquin, which is a unique flavor, hinting towards vanilla and cinnamon. It is strong, not only with nicotine but also with flavor and on the retrohale. I have dedicated a pipe to it and I only smoke it when I can sit and read or something.
