After watching your recent video about your job, you reminded why I subscribed to your channel. You’re a thoughtful guy lacking pretense. I do hope you good luck this year as well as the new year ahead.
Interesting! I haven't tried any of the flavored offshoots of PP. I do like the special reserve flake a lot! To me, flavoring should enhance or play with tobacco rather than subsume it. That's why 1792 Flake works for example. It has tonquin bean on it, but it's paired with a very burly dark fired base. The tonquin beans somehow makes it both mellow and strong at the same time. It's totally unique. Sam's Flake is the same way :It's got a good Virginia and Oriental base but just enough tonquin to add to it instead of overwhelm. I liked the tonquin Bean element so much that I bought some tonquin beans and have made cakes with them! They're technically illegal in the US for spurious reasons, but Amazon sells them hahaha. Sam Gawith Chocolate Flake falls in the same camp. It's got just a touch of chocolate to add to the virginia, burley, and latakia base. They're worth a try in my opinion!
Just opened mine this weekend and I feel like it wasn't sealed properly. Didn't get the apple Brandy but still a good blend. Still prefer the Bourbon version.
Thanks!
Thank YOU!! I hope you had a great Christmas.
Yeah... This really is a wonderful blend.... Thanks for sharing your take with this one...
My pleasure

I THINK I have some 1792 in my cellar. I haven't tried it just yet, but now I'm very intrigued!
That sounds delicious.
Really is-kind of how I wish aromatics tasted.

That's too bad. The bourbon is a solid one as well. Haven't had it in a while.
I’m like you aromatics typically not my thing. I better try some of these while I can lol. What pipe were you smoking out of today?
That's my Peterson B11 Fishtail Arran Smooth-first pipe I ever bought about 1 years ago!
P.S. Great view
Thanks 👍
2 reason I would consider moving to the US. Firearms and tobacco.
I hope the latter doesn't get hit too hard by the Sutliff situation.
That's a crumble cake in anybody's book. I've never liked companies that try to redefine words in order to seem more hip!🙄🙄
Yeah, for sure!
