Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - Small Batch Jubilaeums Flake 3.5oz
Newbie Review
Full disclosure: I'm 1 year into pipe smoking, and I'm still learning the ins and outs, and my opinions may come from inexperience. That said, Ive tried several tobaccos, aromatic blends, english blends, as I'm trying to see what speaks to me the most. This particular tobacco was kind of a disappointment from the start, as I had originally planned on cellaring it, but it came in a non sealed box in a zip lock. As such, had to dive right into it. The fragrance of it out of the bag, kind of reminds me of Escudo Navy flake, as I sense a hint of fig or other fruit. The flavor is not as good though. Out of the bag, it was too moist, and I had to let it sit about 15 mins to dry first before packing the pipe. The flavor was inconsistent throughout the bowl and was not as pleasant as the smell from the bag had led me to believe. The pipe burned a little warm compared to some other tobacco. not sure if it's me or the blend of tobacco. Best I can compare it to IS the Navy flake, which is a much more enjoyable smoke all around. Not worth the price paid

Light and delicious
Very subtle and light smoke, and I am enjoying it as my 1st smoke of the day
