Finished off the University Flake this morning, i really enjoyed it and i will be buying more to put in the storage cupboard.
To run alongside the Eric Stokkebye "sweet" 4th Gen 1897, i decided to try the well respected Erinmore Flake - another first for me.

A very old fashioned tobacco aroma from the tin on opening which i really like as it reminds me of my grandparent house, Granda always smoke heavy tobacco's in his pipe.
I decided to pack the Donegal Rocky 80S, i took about 2/3's of 1 flake and gently rubbed it out. I like to loosely pack Flake tobacco to let it expand in the bowl.
The pipe lit easily enough and it is really mellow from the off with some light floral notes, the tobacco flavour is there but not overpowering, it is burning evenly and is very cool and mellow. Not bad for a first bowlful.
It does seem to be producing a bit moisture and may benefit from a little drying out.
