Just recently EC Outlaw had a few tins of tobacco that didn't agree with him up for free in the Trading Post.
I ended up with a tin of MacBaren Vanilla Cream Flake from him, and wanted to share some thoughts here...
First of all, this is the first flake tobacco that I've had - and even though I've read instructions, watched youtube videos, and sought advice on properly packing flake, I'm still not sure that I have that figured out entirely.
Up until this tin of Vanilla Cream flake, my absolute favorite tobacco was been Pipes & Pleasure: Golden Goodness, from Pipes & Pleasures in Columbus, OH.
I suppose it's not surprising that with the Golden Goodness being a cavendish blend with vanilla flavoring that I would love the MacBaren's Vanilla Cream, as it appears to be a very similar blend. The MacBaren's is very very rich, smells great out of the tin and to smoke, and tastes very smooth and rich. I've been cubing the flakes and gravity filling one of my MM hardwoods. It's a little tough to get lit and keep lit until the first tamp or two, but then it smokes very smoothly.
Anyway - for my first foray into a flake tobacco, I am very impressed! Great stuff!
Thanks thank thanks to EC Outlaw for introducing me to this stuff!
