Germain's Rich Dark Flake (Stonehaven?)

[winterland]

A friend of mine came over from the Uk to visit. I had read that this tobacco is very close or the same as Stonehaven. Being a Stonehaven lover, I had him bring me over a couple 100G bags. Just smoked some and so far it seems like Stonehaven. MMM.. very creamy, a full but gentle smoke. I think it needed a little more drying though. Will try an hour next time. I couldn't wait.

I've seen information that Germain packages it as Rich Dark Flake in the UK and Stonehaven for US consumption. The common wisdom is that, yes, it is the same tobacco.

A rose by any other name...
