It’s very good. I was worried that 6 years in a jar would have made it really smooth and soft, but it has a nice zing to it that I quite enjoy!
It's for try another tobacco for the first time.

The residue on the ribbons gave me pause at first, but a nice flashlight gave me some sparkly insight as to the contents of this tin of Dunhill Nightcap from 2008. Just enjoyed a bowl with my brother and a friend out of a workhorse Pete alongside some current-production Peterson Nightcap. 
2005 Mac Baren London Blend... the smell is of beer! fantastic malty beer tin note
How is it? What are the components?
I like it and i am not usually a bright Virginia fan. Components are Bright Virginia , Orientals and Perique. Pressed into a C&D style cake.
Also if you liked last years , you will like this year. Same blend but in a cake.
Brown Flake is amazing stuff. I love its deep, earthy flavour. I've got some in the cellar that i'm aging so I only smoke the fresh stuff, at the moment. Even fresh out the tin it tastes as if its been aged for 10 years
Agreed! Brown Flake is probably my favorite of JF Germain’s offerings. It’s a shame that it’s hard to acquire anymore. Definitely a treat in the bowl.Brown Flake is amazing stuff.

Fantastic, sounds great. Thanks for the update.
How does it compare to NightCap ?
Samuel Gawith — St. James Flake — A tin from March 2017.
Yeah, that’s the good stuff there.
Is that some rust on the tin I see? It’s hard to make out from the picture.
It is! I've opened several of these 2017 tins and there's always been a bit of rusting around the seal. It has never compromised the tobacco itself. At least, thus far. These Gawith tins are the only ones that have ever done this to me.
I had a very rusty tin of 2018 HH Bold Kentucky that smelled and tasted terribly of metal, but after a day or two in a new jar with the lid open it lost the metal taste, and two days with the jar closed later it was one of the best smokes of my life. I reckon that jar is still floating around here, I gotta find that sucker. But yeah rust isn’t bad all the time, and even when it is you still have a chance.
