[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 515041, member: 2403"] Interesting to read everyone's opinion here. I have to say that this flake is fast becoming a favorite. I guess I have expensive taste. :P Anyway, every time I smoke it I notice some little difference in the flavor profile. The very first pipe I owned, an Algerian briar bent billiard that I acquired when I was 18 seems to love Capstan Blue and so far it's been a perfect pairing. I have never been one to dedicate a pipe to a blend but in this case I am seriously considering it. Harris, I take it from your input that this is not a red VA based blend. It's hard for me to tell because my tins are also from 2013 and as you described the flakes have darkened a lot. Does this flake start out life as a golden VA? It surely has that sweetness but the body of Capstan kind of defies the lighter colored VA attributes. A little Danish magic in this one. Anyone have any more info on the mysterious "spice" topping? Man this is a good smoke! :heart: [/QUOTE]
