SG Chocolate Flake

Wow! After discussion on another board I ordered some of this. What a great way to finish an Easter sermon! Smooooooooooth. It will be excellent when it dries out a bit.

No bite, a mild sweetness, and a cocoa-like taste on the tongue, very appealing aroma. I am in sensory delight.

I think you'll like it Dave, I like it a lot. I've gone through half a tin and I'm thinking I'm gonna have to get some more!

SG Flakes in general are wonderful!

And now I have tried this one ...

There is definitely some Latakia involved, though also some Orientals and of course the Virginia base. In general I do not enjoy Latakia blends. In fact, I have not smoked them for the last 15 years or so. But this is a nice smoke. At times the Latakia is barely noticeable, at other times it predominates. The other leaf is never overpowered, though, the way it sometimes is in English blends.

I can smell the chocolate "topping" in the tin, but I can not taste it while I am smoking. This will not replace St. James Flake for me, but it certainly is enjoyable!
