[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 215679, member: 1365"] After a dozen bowls of this in a variety of pipes, I still find it an excellent blend in terms of value, management, burn (esp. when well dried...or it wants to die at the very end instead of burning to a clean ash...like many other dense flakes) and overall flavor. Does it develop as it burns down...or produce flavor shifts...and dance in and out like sugarplumb fairies? No so much. It's just a straight, dark, full flavored blend that has a moderate note of Dark Fired K to it. Nothing wrong with that in my book. Since there's been no response from Smoker99 as to where it was written that it was 'flavored' - I still wonder where that came up. Without knowing I'll pull out the fact that nearly all blends are flavored...or at least cased, as 99.9% of all tobaccos are cased by the processor prior to the leaves going to the blender, where they are very likely hit again with some kind of sweetener or flavoring prior to blending. This is especially true of Burleys, which Smoker99 lists as among his favored types...and Lakelands as well. If he's listing those as his preferred types, yet says that he doesn't want to try a blend that's flavored...I gotta wonder what he's referring to that would be a negative. So common' back Smoker99 and give me a clue. I do value your opinion and would like to hear more. [/QUOTE]
