Andy, what GH tobacco are you looking to buy? I ordered some Bright CR Flake to age.

I was looking at getting some Rum Flake as I am well stocked on most everything else. Want to split a box?

Andy, I am not sure how you feel about aeromatics. Here are my thoughts about this tobacco. I was expecting heavy Burley Virginia flavors with a side note of rum flavor. What I experienced was a good dose of Lakeland flowery essence and sugar like sweet. I didn’t like this tobacco.

I recommend you try a small sample first before you get 500 grams. You might really like it. Too aeromatic for my palate.

I have enjoyed this tobacco and didn't get the heavy lakeland flavor from it like Dark Flake scented or even unscented. It is similar to Dark Flake but has a little sweetness to it, at least IME. I also enjoy Sweet Maple Twist. These are the only 2 aromatics I like.

Oh cool, you got a good batch not heavy in Lakeland. GH is inconsistent with their Lakeland flavoring.

It was a 2 ounce sample. Now I'm wondering if I'll get lucky again with a new batch. Hate to throw out a pound of expensive tobacco!
