Former's Cross Grain Flake

[ADKPiper]

Now that I've stocked up (limited to 2 per day on SP) I can confess my love for this stuff.
My favorite Vaper by a long shot.
It smells like a bakery in the tin.
Delicious billowing clouds of smoke.
I've gotten 10 tins to keep a stock.
It was gone for a long time.

And of course I couldn't resist another pipe.
Another Pete.
Donegal Rocky rusticated billiard.
My finger lingered over the enter button and finally I succumb.

It's good stuff. I like both Former's Cross Grain and Straight Grain. The Straight Grain Flake is a VaPer with quite a bit of perique. Right on the edge of almost too much. But the Cross Grain is mellower and a very smooth Virginia. They used to come in these nifty little round tins that were smaller diameter than usual and great for a jacket pocket.

I got a tin of that for a pipe Bruce Weaver made for me back in 2014. It's a good one but the pipe ended up being an Oriental smoker.
