Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm nearing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

How are you finding that blend?
I love Dark Air Cured Indian leaf, and this one is beautiful as well. There is an undertone of sweetness which I love and the Anise flavor is reasonably strong, but not too strong to overpower the tobacco. It is a light aftertaste of Anise as well. An excellent tobacco.

Having said that, I may not buy any more. I have a lot of similar Gawith Hoggarth tobacco cellared, and while this tastes quite unique, it is still similar to Dark Flake which I have cellared a lot!
