Bengal Slices

Smoking Bengal Slices this evening. Very large Flake, actually crumble cake. Easy to rub out and prepare. It is an English blend, that is very good flavor. Not a strong blend, more light to medium in flavor. Enjoyable smoke overall. Thanks Andy for the sample.

I’m half way down the bowl and the flavor really picked up to a solid medium, wow very good smoke.

Interesting that you and Conrad like it, this tobacco was not to my taste.

I’m curious, what is it you don’t like about this tobacco?

Here’s the pipe brand new. It is a light grey morta pipe with no finish applied. The oils from my hand has darkened it over time.

I got the same experience for about the first third of the bowl. But as I smoked it down, the flavors really picked up and the bitter (sour) disappeared. I get this sort of smoking experience with many English and Balkan blends.

I just scored some Bengal Slices from 4Noggins! They have a limit of 3 tins per order. It won't last long!
