Small bowl of Bayou Morning Flake last night in a Savinelli prince.
It's interesting. Lots of dry hay and pepper with a touch of dried fruit. That's my first bowl impression anyway. The nose burn on retro reminded me of a fine, freshly prepared horseradish; so good... but of course I wouldn't want it every meal.
I imagine the room note is probably awful :D
This bowl was dried quite a while. Want to try a bowl with a little more moisture soon.
Overall I like it for what I bought it for: an interesting change of pace.
Trying a small bowl of this Carolina Red Flake w/ Perique, just to see what it's about.
Pretty similar to the Bayou Morning Flake, actually. Very dry, grassy taste with a good amount of pepper. Not as much as the Bayou Morning tho by a long shot and not as earthy. I smoked this pretty moist. Need to let some dry out more and give that a shot. TBH, so far I like my stand-by VaPer better: PS Lux Bullseye with a few years on it and with the Cavendish centers removed. I'm always amazed how good that blend is, especially for the price. I think the Bullseye must be topped with a touch of vanilla, either that or it bleeds from the Cavendish center into the outer wraps. Whatever the case, the topping compliments the tobacco rather nicely. Need to burn a few more bowls of this Carolina Red. I'll call it 'research'.
Edit...
Tried a little more but dried it out more first. It's better IMO; more pronounced flavors with some dried fruit in the background. Pretty similar to the Bayou Morning actually but quite a bit ligter on the perique it would seem.

Been smoking a lot of this lately.

Then a little Boswells Christmas Cookie in the same pipe since it was still dry. Blech. American aromatics, not my thing. I think it's picking up a little pepper toward the bottom here... but maybe that's just tongue bite.
Penny Farthing in the Stanwell Black Diamond. First I have had and it's great, have to sip it though or it will lash out.

A GL Pease VaPer? That's got to be pretty good I'd think. Reviews say it's shag cut tho.Quote:

I wonder if they have something similar in flake.
Not sure about the flake but I can't believe they don't have something similar. I kind of don't mind the shag once in awhile, especially with the kids and time constraints the faster burn isn't a horrible idea for me. It really was good though, just a good change of pace for once.Quote:
