I ordered a tin of University Flake because Eddie Gray and another reviewer compared it to Stonehaven. On opening the tin, the stewed fruits and plum did indeed remind me of Stonehaven, although it was less intense. The Stonehaven tin note alone makes the purchase worthwhile.
I don't consider myself a nic-lightweight but I did feel the ill effects of smoking UF on an empty stomach. I had to put the two-thirds smoked bowl down and eat something. Still, I had to wait about 45 minutes before feeling up to finishing the bowl.
UF is a very satisfying, tasty smoke that combines sweetness with the nutty burley foreground. I don't have any Stonehaven left to compare back-to-back but I will admit that I am satisfied that UF is a good alternative to Stonehaven. It isn't equivalent but they could be called first cousins.
If you like Stonehaven, what other tobaccos do you consider a good alternative?
