Any reviews here on this flake? This is another one that sold in record time. Anyone else here stock up?
I bought a few tins.
As with any new blend, managing expectations will be a crucial tool for avoiding disappointment. I expect it to be good but don't expect to hear angels sing.
Good rule of thumb for most anything there, wolf. Only good way to fairly evaluate blends especially.I bought a few tins.

Envious! Waiting on mine to arrive.I rubbed my tin out, let it sit for an hour. The first 25% of the bowl was actually pretty noneventful on flavor for the most part but then it was a fantastic smoke.
For me I found (from Jim’s review) the earth, slight pinches of spice rang true. No bite, no harsh edges. Slight sweetness. Burns clean down to a white ash. Once it is lit, no relights. Plenty of smoke if you are into that. I had no rough edges myself but I did decide to rub the entire tin out and let it sit an hour as it seemed to have a slight film to the broken flakes...appeared moist when it was not.
Only had a couple bowls so far but good stuff!

Interesting the color variation. Mine is definitely more wood mahogany than yours. And my flakes seem to be be cut a bit thicker.I rubbed my tin out, let it sit for an hour. The first 25% of the bowl was actually pretty noneventful on flavor for the most part but then it was a fantastic smoke.
