Rattray's Marlin Flake....just outstanding

[thesmokindragon]

Having now smoked about a pnd of this stuff now, yep it is fantastic!
If you haven't tried it yet and you are a Va/Per lover do yourself a solid and

snag a few 100g tins of this stuff....but it isn't that pop/stuff and go bacci,

it does require some of your time/attention (give it about 6hrs dry time, you will know if you gave it enough time, because it will be flat in taste if not).
It comes in a nice folded single belt,

great fig/fresh made apple cider , carries into the smoke with a nice sweet/slightly sour taste

with that oh so good spice through the nose (exhale it from nose to really pick up the spice).
Well I'm drooling now off this post, so off to feed the TAD beast another pound of this stuff

It is really great. Mild and tasty.

How does it compare with the rest of the line, HOTW, Old Gowrie etc?

I haven't smoked HOTW yet ( plan on getting some in next TAD order with more Marlin flake as well) but I also

love their OG blend...I would agree wih their description on it:

Tin Description: A companion to Old Gowrie. A shade darker, different aroma, but otherwise a tobacco in the same tradition.

I definitely love the Marlin Flake. It is my favorite smoke right now. I will be adding more tins of this on my next TAD order along with OG.
