For posterity's sake...the flake took six and a half hours to dry to adequate (by my standards) smokeability. But once it did...wowzers! I really dig this one. About as close to an aromatic without technically being one, much like Ashton Gold Rush, for example. I can see why this flake frustrates some pipe smokers though. Sometimes you want to just rub out a flake, load up your pipe and go, and not have to read War and Peace three times while waiting for it to dry.
Smoked this in the Medico whitewall, by the way...
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
You're going to have that colored by Monday if you maintain this pace!
Just finished 3rd happy hour with some Engine #113 while enjoying a night on the patio with a cool breeze. Went well with some red wine.
Yeah, it's a strange word. But good tobacco. I don't want the so called "latakia bombs", like Pirate Kake. But a light smokey lat, like in my favorite, Shepherd's Pie, is delicious. To me it's like a steak grilled over charcoal, vs fried in a skillet on a stove. Of course the grilled is better! LOL!@Carol I still think Latakia sounds like a cheap car made in Syria before the civil war broke out
OJK in my meer apple. With black coffee.
That made me chuckle out loud, which I don't typically do.
I recently tried University Flake and liked it a lot. It will go into my regular rotation and I will need to pick up a few more tins with the next Peterson sale.
I enjoy reading while smoking a pipe in the early weekend mornings with a bottomless cup of coffee or diet soda. War and Peace may be on the agenda, but a ways away.
I typically set out a few flakes to dry during the week for my weekend enjoyment. But I have heard good things about using a coffee warmer (and possibly a few coins separating the unit from the tin) and may have to give it a try.
Enjoy.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2012 Sutliff BRG in a brown “rocky” smooth medium bend 1970s Peterson 309 Standard sculpted billiard military mount with a nickel ferrule and a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Having Esoterica Margate (2021) in a William Harrison (Birmingham silversmith) Gourd Calabash with a silver rim cap and ferrule, with a horn stem from 1909.
About a third of the way through this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.
