Bowl colouring

On the left a new bowl the middle bowl after a week and a half of smoking.
The last bowl is heavily smoked 4 or 5 months old.
No need to stain. 

Erik Stokkebye - 4th Generation 1931

Black Cavendish, Burley, Virginia.
This tobacco i am sure is made by Mac Baren
They look almost identical to MB Navy flake.
Rum is there as is a slight honey flavour.
The aroma in tin is mouth watering.
Rubs out easy just a little drying time needed.
Easy to light and full of flavour.
It is like a more intense MB Navy flake.
I will be ordering more.

Cob Plug 1792

5oz of Samuel Gawith Cob Plug 1792 

I was just told this has been aged since 2004.
Look at all the sugars.
I knew it.

Nice flakes my vintage flake cutter works so well.

It has the flavour of 1792 but its just a bit milder.
Maybe the plugs have aged.
Full of flavour the plug is rock hard but easy to slice with a plug cutter and rub out.
Perfect moisture level very easy to light and burns to a light grey ash.
Produces huge amounts of smoke.
A great dry smoking very stout tobacco to say the least.
Andrea said it smelt like intense tobacco.
Lachlan my 20 year old son nearly choked on it.
Not to sure about the room note though.    

New Tobacco no 73

Krumble Kake
I used my vintage flake cutter to cut some off.
And packed my small Falcon Calabash.
The Latakia is there up front then the rum flavour comes through.
A good solid tobacco big in flavour and nicotine just how i like it.
Now to turn a couple more small Falcon bowls so i can rotate them
for all this strong tobacco.
