Yummy…

Oh man I bought one of these a couple years ago. I really, really, did not want to jar it as it looked so amazing. I should have taken a picture...or maybe that's my inner self saying I have to buy another one....hrm

Sutliff KrampusNacht Red Virginia Flake.
OK, I'll admit it - I bought it for the tin art...

I've only had a couple bowls but so far it's pretty good.

I love the tin art and am sad I missed out on this one.

Does anyone know if there’s a video on the interwebs of them slicing a plug at the factory? I’d love to see what that’s like.

St James Flake from 2008. Very sparkly. One flake folded and stuffed into the bowl for immediate enjoyment.

That’s a lovely looking pipe btw, an Ashton Sovereign?

Opened a tin of the much missed Bracken Flake.

Yes, a Sovereign XX from the old Bill Taylor time, before the brand went "bad."

Anthology and 2023 Cringle. Almost no tin note from the Anthology, mild from Cringle. Sure isn't McClelland. We will see how they taste later.

What a great blend!

 

[Tate]

What a great blend!

Heck yeah man! Been having at least a bowl a day of that stuff!

Opened this tin today and enjoying a bowl now. Tin was slightly bulged on the top and bottom. It had a nice fermented vinegar smell along with oats and plum. Great smoke! View attachment 258144View attachment 258145View attachment 258146

My favorite Va/Per. Just a hands down stout smoke and perfect burn. Hope it was good.

Here’s 2012 McClelland 5100 I am transporting to a small jar. Very dark. Don’t know if you can see it, but it’s glossy/shiny. I needed the big jar for Christmas cheer.

A bulging tin of Christmas Cheer 2000.

 

[originalnutcracker]

Wish I could have heard the pop and smelled the aroma of that tin of Cheer!

Be interested on your Anthology thoughts.

 

[LeafErikson]

That’s some really lovely packaging.

The tobacco is lovely as well.

I really like it. Ordered 10 more tins.
