February Tobacco of the Month Nominations
Ok folks. After a forced hiatus due to a fried hard drive and internet censorship the TOTM is back! So...without further ado, on to the nominations. We are going into February and there are two great holidays in this month. President's Day and Valentine's day. So here's what I'm thinking: You can choose from two options: 1. Nominate a great tobacco that your significant other enjoys. Or 2. Nominate a "historical" tobacco to honor our presidents.
I'll start the nominations off with a "historical" tobacco (since I don't currently have a significant other).
SG 1792 Flake -1792 Flake is a full-strength, mellow tobacco comprising a blend of dark-fired Tanzanian leaf. It is Gawith's best-selling premium grade flake. It starts as 7 lbs. of hand stripped leaf and goes through a steaming process prior to being pressed. The cake, having been prepared, is wrapped in a select leaf and packed by hand into a 12 inch square. This cake is pressed and left for a minimum of two hours. Then, the pressed cake is placed into a steam press where it is baked at full heat for two to three hours. The baked cake has then taken on 1792's characteristic rich, dark color. It's hardening occurs during cooling. Once the process of cutting the flake and adding a tonquin flavor is carried out, hand wrapping and packing finalizes 1792, making it ready for rubbing into your pipe.
