Butera Dark Stoved in the Morgan mini-billiard.
Good Ole St Bruno in a Stanwell Royal prince model 61 Medium Billard on this windy afternoon
Relaxing this weekend at the cottage with my morning coffee and some more 2010 Presbyterian Mixture. This time in one of my travel Nording 204 Spigots.
Trying out Peterson Flake in the Morgan Bones Milan this morning.
When I'm smoking a pure Virginia I always like to try to identify what the primary flavor note is. In Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices it's lemony citrus, in Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia it's fresh baked bread, in G.L. Pease Union Square it's moldering leaf litter, and in Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake it's green and black teas. They all have the typical grass/hay and a bit of the others' flavor notes as well, but usually there's one primary note that stands out at the forefront.
Peterson Flake is interesting in that I can't seem to find a primary flavor note with this one. It's a bit grassy, a bit citrusy, a little bready, and has those tea and leaf litter notes too, but they're all fairly equal in flavor strength. It's got all the flavors you might expect to find in pure Virginia blends, but in perfect balance and harmonizing very nicely! The citrus does seem to take the lead a little towards the end of the bowl, but for most of the smoking experience everything wafts along in harmony.
It's really tasty, very smooth and gentle on the sinuses when retrohaled, and leaves a pleasant room note like bread baking in the oven. The nicotine content is there, but fairly light. On the low end of medium I'd say. All in all Peterson Flake is a very well balanced and gentlemanly smoke, and I like it quite a bit!
