Scottish Broken Flake rather

Product: McConnell Scottish Cake 50g
The virginia reminds me of mac barren less bite with a touch of dark fired Virginia perhaps. The Burley is like HH, the perique peppery and balaced and the dark fire spins everything into a Gawith and hogarth thing without the Lakeland essence. Smooth and worth it when ever it is available, however i won't stress to buy again as limited as it seems to be, but if its there then great. Its a true sipper and very enjoyable, its good....Read More

Mc Connell tobacco is always first class. I used wooden matches to carefully light this broken flake as to not scorch it. Smoked in a meerschaum as slow as I could was one of the finest smoking experiences I've had in a long long time ⌛️. Slow using the breath method. Totally amazing 👌

I could definitely smoke this blend all day. I purchased 2 tins. Already smoked one and the other is cellared away for a later date. I will be buying more to keep in the rotation and add to the cellar. Thumbs up from me.
My first non-aromatic

A B&M recommended this to me when I asked for a non-aromatic tobacco. I will be forever indebted to them.

The dark-fired in this blend gives so much weight and body to the sweetness of the VA and pepper of the perique. It's satisfying and relaxing. heavier than Golden Slices so the sweetness
isn't as bright as other VaPers. The tin note is raisins and figs and the smoke remains true to that impression. The richness of the DFK really moves the sweetness from sugar to more of a molasses vibe. It smokes cool but could get out of hand if you're not paying attention. I recommend trying it if you haven't or are curious....Read More
A new favorite

Picked up a tin of this because the shop was out of what I'd gone in for, I've never been so happy for a shop to be out of the blend I wanted. I knew as soon as I opened this I had found something special, the smell of buttered toast and hay hinted at what was to come as I delightfully packed my pipe. A week and a half later I was back at the same shop picking up another two tins, one to smoke and one to cellar (I'd completely smoked through that first tin in that time.) I now have over half a dozen aging away happily in my cellar, and plan to add even more to that number. When I discovered this blend, I discovered my new favorite....Read More
