Partagas Flake Pipe Tobacco (Cuba)

[SLR]

It's no English, or Balkan blend (my two favorite pipe tobacco blends), but I have to say, Partagas flake pipe tobacco is pretty good, and definitely stronger in flavor then most pipe tobaccos. The room aroma is not so agreeable compared to most pipe tobaccos. It does have similar Cuban cigar flavors, mainly earthy and spicy (it is Partagas). It is no Cuban cigar, but if you are pipe smoker, it is worth trying.

Now finding it is another story. So far the only way I have been able to acquire this tobacco is from friends who visited Cuba. I have seen it at over seas Duty Free shops as well.
