Finally got around to the MacBaren HH Latakia Flake. Rubbed out two flakes and packed the Falcon.
Perfect moisture level right out of the tin. It lit and burned perfectly all the way through.
Oh My, this stuff is good!
I was surprised by the sweetness of this. It is an earthy smoke in which I detected cream and honey notes in the bottom half of the bowl, and the sweetness stays with it becoming darker and somewhat caramelized tasting as one goes along. It is a complex yet surprisingly subtle blend, and I will have to take some more time with this to sus it all out.
Fantastic!
