    Observations
    Examination
    This is a nice broken flake. It feels moist to the touch. The color is a mix of dark and medium brown mingled with light brown. It has a sweet smell. The background smell is tobacco. The dominant smell is flowers. Not any real flower I’m familiar with. It’s the smell we have been programmed to associate with flowers.
    Preparation
    I rubbed some and let it dry about 20 minutes before doing a modified Frank Method load.
    Burn
    It lit easily and the burn was great. The ash was light, fluffy, and white in color. There was a decent amount of smoke, but not a smoke bomb. Just about right. If smoked too fast it will nip at the tongue.
    Flavor
    It has a flowery taste that matches the smell, leaving a wax like coating on the tongue and roof of the mouth.

    Comments and conclusion
    The tobacco is a high quality offering. While the taste doesn't remind me of tobacco in any way, I enjoyed this. I will keep this in my cellar and enjoy smoking the rest of it. It is not an everyday smoke nor a every pipe smoke as I believe it will ghost.

    I believe this to be Ennerdale Flake. If you've ever smoked it, you will recognize it.

    Happy as if I had good sense.
