As a follow-up to the Luxury Navy Flake, and to further break in the B-line, I cubed some SG Navy Flake compliments of Todd. I had purchased some of this forms local establishment recently, smoked a bowl, and then received a sample from TH to bolster my stock.
In the jar, this is quite a bit different than LNF. While both are flake, this blending much darker in appearance and smells strongly of figs and sweet, dark prunes/plums.
After cubing, I let the blend sit for Just about an hour. Not quite long enough, it seems, as the first light was tenuous to say the least. Once lit, great plumes of fragrant smoke appeared, filling my mouth with a fantastic dark sweetness mixed with Lat. There is a nice buttery smooth spiciness blended in with the fruit flavors, and frankly, I am having a hard time not drooling all over as I type.
Room note is rich and nutty with the same fruit scent hovering in the background.
On subsequent relights, I am greeted with more of the same consistent tastes and smells. The rum flavoring is present, but very mild - taking its place in the overall balance nicely. This is a rich, complex blend that I will certainly need more of. It isn't as complex as say, Sextant, but wonderful in any case.
Thanks Todd!
