Slices As A Tobacco Cut

[--dante--]

I just received my order of Nor'Easter from Watch City, and I must say I really the cut. As many of you probably know it's like thick (thicker than a flake) slices of a crumble cake. Very nice to work with and I like the qualities of it. I searched tobaccoreviews on cut, and noticed that slices is not mentioned (tobacco I know comes in this form, such as Bengal Slices, Watch City's slices, get listed as cakes or flakes).

Besides Watch City Nor'Easter and Bengal Slices, are there other blends with this particular sort of cut? Again, they're like very thick flake, but actually seem to be sliced cake/plug.

As far as I know all of the other watch city flakes are the same cut too. Interesting that the above blends come out of the Sutliff factory,

All of my 2012 Samuel Gawith Best Brown, Full Virginia and St James bulk flakes are very thick and can be a pain in the ass.

I agree that most anything from SG or G&H are a PITA, but those are different, they are actually very thick flakes, not slices of crumble cake.

Yeah I'm referring to "slices" not flakes. The last thing I want to deal with is thicker flakes. I avoid anything sold as a flake (at least the heavily-cased European ones) because it's like I have to have a have a shrine of drying flakes on my deck just to be able to smoke the darn things.

Thanks I'll check out some Sutliff blends. I must admit I've never given them much of a look.

I had forgotten this tin of SPC Hood Canal I had opened. That's got the thick cake/slice thing going. As a side note, the blend that got me started on this thread, WC Nor'Easter seems to be a near match to Hood Canal.
