[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 255230, member: 1365"] I don't think L Flake is flavored with tonquin bean. I've never heard that - if it is I'll have to stop smoking it! lol I've got some Bob's that has a nubmer of years on it and the choco-Lat nature has totally gone out of it...as the scents do in those Brit flakes mostly after a year or two. You know, it's only an ounce! If you like it, just keep it. I can hardly tell there's any cocoa scent or Latakia even in new Bob's, it's so slight. And on occasion, they send out batches that are 'different' somehow. In the L Flake I get a definite scent of the Perique and can absolutely taste in when I smoke it. One of my favorites, though I've kind of gone away from Bob's over the years, only because I favor others more highly and would rather put my pennies into things I like better...that plus I still have the old stuff. If you want one of their flakes that has a definite cocoa aroma, don't try the SGawith Mayor's stuff...there's one of the Scotch Flake varieties that has it in spades...really a good smoke as well. And, while I'm here and writing already...I don't think it's 'right' to call these things aromatics, as they're not. They're 'scented' which is a whole different process. As I undertand it, aromatics have the smelly stuff sprayed on after they're done...the Gawith scented stuff has it in there before they press it, etc. The resulting smoke is quite different, IMHO.
