Just had a really nice smoke with my brother-in-law, who is in the process of weaning himself off cigarettes. PS Cube Cut in the Grabow Omega for me, which just tasted super-nice and stayed lit remarkably well given the cut. Peterson Flake, rubbed out, in the basket bent briar for him. I figured a straight lightly-cased Virginia would be a lot more familiar to him than an English blend or fruity aromatic, and he just loved it. I may have a convert. puffy

Decided to try the July 2018 SG Balkan Flake I received last fall from a purchase on the forum- thanks @hoosierpipeguy!
The Altinay Rusticated Dublin Meer and a healthy pour of Scotch.😉
First impression is quite favorable. Rich, full bodied smoke of wonderful Latakia with some complimentary sweet, stewed fruit and maybe floral notes; some peppery spice on retro hale.
With the Scotch it’s absolutely divine!
