2016: Summer Tobacco Rotation Thread!

[Emperor Zurg]

I have a tin but haven't opened it yet, but have enjoyed many a bowl of GH Bob's Chocolate Flake. How do they compare?

They really don't other than that they're both made from tobacco.

SGCF smells tangy, sweet and fruity in the tin... er mason jar. You get the tangyness in the smoke for about the first half of the bowl. There's a faint latakia smokiness that keeps things interesting and an even fainter incense quality that reminds me of Early Morning Pipe. I don't notice any chocolate flavor but there does seem to be an added sweetness from the topping. There seems to be a 'darker' flavor that becomes more prominent as you progress further down the bowl. I guess if I use my imagination I could call that chocolate. There's no Lakeland soap flavor or smell to this one at all.

Thanks, sounds like I need to open that tin soon!q
