Just finished my first bowl of the stuff and it is quite good. It smoked slowly to ash and only needed one relight. I smoked it in a Rad pot. That is not the ideal pipe for it, I suspect, but it still was a quality smoke.

Absolutely love WBC. Just a shame that it's somewhat difficult to acquire most of the time as it sells out as quickly as it becomes available. A smooth taste of molasses with an ever so faint hint of semi-sweet dark chocolate. Rather odd for a non-aromatic, but that's just my take on it from someone who has the taste buds of 40 grit sandpaper. I find myself smoking a bowl of this at least every other day, and always eagerly looking forward to it. I'm just grateful that I have a somewhat substantial, for me, stash of tins stored away of this marvelous tasty tobacco.

It's a good flake. Don't neglect to give it time to dry before smoking it or you won't get much flavor out of it.
EDIT: It's interesting to see all of these past posters, most of whom are gone. They were a nice bunch of guys. You may also note that there's some discussion regarding supply. Like a lot of tobacco blends, Campaign went through several months where there was no stock to be had. It's good to remember that any blend can suddenly become scarce for a while, and to not make too much of it.

I noticed that SP had a 5 a day limit on it when it was in stock. Last time I ordered any was in 2013. Has it still been tough to find? I just checked around and none of the big 3 have any. I did see Brown Virginia, Gold Virginia, Gold Brick and Red Virginia flakes around.

I've added 5 or 10 tins to several orders in the last year or 2. Not always available but not scarce by any means.

Did the tins and cut of tobacco change, I got recent tin and it was no longer circle tin but a square tin and the flake was pre-cut!

Your best bet is put in your email address at few sites to get stock notification, seems they are out at most places now.
Good Luck.
