Sample Pink H G&H Scotch Flake Aromatic
Dr Grabow Grand Duke straight
indoors


This one is completly new to me.Pressed flake,what others have described as
jerky.In the pouch it had a distinct cocoa smell, not sweet more like unsweetened
cooking coco powder.After pulling a single flake from the stack I then pulled rather

than rubbed it apart.The feel was just shy of tacky.I noticed long ribbons as if the
leaves had been stacked, then pressed, and then cut length wise.

I used something of a fold and stuff method and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
I should have given it about an hour to dry some, it was a devil to get lit.After
a good charring light and tamp it took off rather well,but did require s few
relights.

The initial flavors were quite subtle and dry,an earthy,wood smoke flavor.Rather
light and uneventfull.After about half to two thirds it took on a leather taste.
Unfortunatly I never picked up on anything resembling the cocoa from the pouch,
but it was enjoyable all the same.

I didn't feel anything of a nicotine boost,so I would guess this one falls into
the medium range on strength.The smoke itself was light and airy,but carried the
flavors well.On the retrohale it was smooth without the burn of spices.


On the whole this tobacco is one I would say save for when you have an hour to
fully enjoy it.I doesn't have a tongue bite that I noticed,and is quite nice for
an outdoor cookout.In a room with other smokers it would be easy to miss some
of its better qualities.
