So much to my suprise, I found a 100g tin of ODF at my local B&M this evening. After all the good things I have heard, I had to try it. So, steep price be damned, I bought it.
I couldn't wait, so I cracked the tin in the parking lot to take a smell. Very nice, rich and kinda spicy. Being that it is my first encounter with flake tobacco, I had to search the site for prepping instructions. Up until recently, I only smoked aros, so I am kinda doing a leaps and bounds thing right now, trying new things.
Anyhow, I got a flake cut up into a semi-cube cut manner and gravity filled, tapping the bowl against my hand to settle the cubes, grabbed a beer, and headed for the trusty back porch.
It did take a bit to get lit, no problem there. The inital flavor was nice, robust, smokey, spicy and yet mellow. As I got further down the bowl, the flavor got more intense. Delicious. Im not quite as versed in describing flavor as some, but I like this. The dark smokiness is nearly the opposite of most blends I have tried, and it is well executed.
Glad I picked this up. I can easily see this being a regular blend for me. My wife found the room note unpleasant, but thanks to that she did say she wouldnt mind me smoking aros inside occasionally...
