Tell me what you think about it.

HERE is a review I did of the Dark Flake about a year and a half ago.

The plug version amplifies everything just a bit, including difficulty in lighting and flavors. What I perceived back then as "cigar" like notes are, more likely, that old, familiar VaBur profile, with the deep sweet VA pairing with the cocoa burley tones.

Set it out a half day in advance and consider DGT for maximum enjoyment.

Almost half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Burlier Morning Pipe in a mid-70s straight smooth octagonal paneled Jeanet (made by Chacom) billiard with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Did some snacking and am part way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Turkey & Dressing in a tan sandblasted medium bend 2001 Rinaldo Sahara 2 Acorn round at the shank, pointy at the opposite top with a tapered black acrylic stem. Have a little more work to do.

Haven't smoked any tobacco in almost a week because of an annoying cold/flu/virus, finally tasting things normally again. I packed a bowl about three days ago and didn't smoke it until now, so it's crispy dry. 60% GH Sweet Whiskey Twist, 40% C&D bulk Latakia, in my recently made arbutus&cob pipe. This is absolutely fantastic, a wonderful smoke. Very happy about this right now, lol.

Just finished work and this bowl of P&W Nut Brown Burley in a 2018 David S. Huber 5718 medium bend black sandblasted billiard with a black acrylic saddle stem. Time to feed Suzy and Molly, and have another smoke.

Part way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures First Burley in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite saddle stem. This will be my last smoke of the day. Doing some reading about William Conrad.
