I know that some people here have smoked a lot of Bracken. I have not but count it an amazing blend. A few months ago I rediscovered a dried out tin that I had and rehydrated the flake. Wow! What a great blend. It was especially great for when I could only have a short smoke (45min-1hr, especially smoking outdoors in the early Spring). I was really sad when I discovered it was discontinued. What I read says that it was due to a tobacco that SG could no longer source. Anyone know what that was?

The other mystery for me is that I swear I can taste a hint of latakia, similar to how it is in Bob's Chocolate flake.

What a great blend. Sad it is gone but I have one more tin from 2008.

SG is forever changing the recipe and interrupting production of Bracken. I'd fall in love with something else, because the tobacco that you love may well be different on reorder.
