April 2015 Tobacco of the Month Nominations

[Chris0673]

Ok boys and girls! It's time to grab your thinking caps, fire up your favorite pipe, and think about nominations for April's Tobacco of the Month! Since April is the first full month of Spring, what kind of tobacco do you like to smoke when it's finally warm enough to enjoy smoking outside? What do you like to bring Spring in with?

Here are March's runners up.

SG Kendal Cream Flake - This selection of blended Burley and Virginias offers a mild and creamy smoke from a medium density flake. With an added essence, the pipe smoker who derives pleasure from an easy to rub out flake will certainly enjoy Kendal Cream Flake.

Prince Albert - Crimp-cut, mild smoking mixture. Made in the USA.
Notes: Pipe Tobacco Hall of Fame Inductee. The Prince Albert Blends were introduced by R.J Reynolds in 1907. R.J. Reynolds sold the brand to the John Middleton Tobacco Company, Limerick, PA, in 1987, who has been producing it ever since.

St. James Flake - Genuine Perique is added to an already delicious and flavoursome blend of fine bright Virginias to give St. James the light peppery characteristic enjoyed by so many pipe smokers. Medium strength.

McClelland Blackwoods Flake - The characteristic, natural sweetness of mellow, Red Virginias mingles inextricably with the richness and inherently spicy aroma of Black Stoved Virginias in this doubly aged red and black all-Virginia cake mixture. An artistic achievement in tobaccos for the pipe, this beautiful mottled flake is incomparable in smoothness, balance and refinement.

I don't know that I've ever seen any Gawith Hoggarth mixtures in these threads. Big, in your face flavors and very consistent.

How about:
Bright CR Flake by Gawith Hoggarth. One of their milder offerings it still delivers lots of flavor and Virginia sweetness. Their blurb from P&C
If you're looking for a nice introduction to Lakeland-style Virginia flakes, Bright CR Flake is ideal. Pure bright Carolina flue-cured tobaccos are very lightly topped with the trademark floral notes that G H & Co. is known for. The tobaccos are firmly pressed to mature the leaf, resulting in a relatively mild, lightly sweet smoke.

I might actually be voting for a blend that I didn't nominate lol. I'm a sucker for all of McClellands va blends...this is a tough one.
