ATTENTION: CB Pipe Tobacco Review Bombing Run Version 2.0

[Madbricky]

20150419_152353.jpgI didn't get my samples in hand till Saturday. For the benefit of some of you that might want to compare impressions here is the last 3 samples I reviewed Sunday aft. I wrote this in my notes so here it is.

Details
Date 4/20
Name pink H G&H Scotch Flake Aromatic
Tobacco variegated blend of dark brown and yellow pressed into cake and cut into long strips
Pipe MM Country Gentleman(not Mizzou shown)
Indoor / Outdoor: indoor

Observations
Examination (how it looked, felt and smelled): This was a very moist combined stack of sliced strips smelling strongly of sweet baking cocoa
Preparation: (how did you prepare and pack it): I seperated strips, cut into 1/2" pieces. They where rubbed out and then dried in my warming tin, then cooled dry. They where packed with the Frank method lightly as they still had a good bit of moisture.
Burn: Charring light and relight was all that was needed until the sides needing tampering like a big bowl may require. No other relights required.
Flavor: This tobacco opened with a blast of Dial soap. Ugh! It settled down but without the promised cocoa in the prelight aroma. It really did not present any definitive flavor other than some characteristics I associate with Burley. I had hoped for more after getting punished for swearing.

Comments and conclusion. Not much to say, I'm not a Lakeland fan. Wish I could say more but there was no overwhelming flavor profile.
