I like it.
It is very similar to OGS in the tin. Long rolled up flakes. The texture and moisture is nearly identical.

It really even tastes similar, but Gatsby Flake has more flavor. Kind of a fuller, more complex OGS. It's a good VA flake IMO.

I've tried 2 of the DE blends now and love them both. Meat Pie is a good straightforward English blend.

The rest of them are aromatics, so I'll probably just stick with these two from DE.

SPC MS River, H&H Marquee Blackhouse and Grandma's Kitchen, all in Kaywoodie White Briar's......

Just got back from the Knoxville Pipe Club's monthly meeting. I smoked a bowl of Penzance in a McCranie bulldog. Other members were smoking the new Bengal Slices and liked it.

Good description. Gatsby flake blindsided me. I love the stuff and the tin went by too fast.

CI has DE tins for $5.99 right now. Be a good time to stock up.
I think I'll order a couple of Meat Pie and a couple more Gatsby flakes too.

As Marie Antoinette possibly said "Let Them Smoke Kake"...

I don't have many Virginia Flakes under my belt, but I really like the Gatsby Flake.

AnniKake for me today!
