Attack of the Virginia Flakes!

I recently bought my very first tin of Gawith's "Best Brown Flake" and ever since I have been on a Virginia Flake kick. Not much to BBF, yet for some reason I just cannot put it down. The other day was rather stressful so that night I sat down with a pot of fresh coffee and proceeded to pack 2 flakes into a medium-sized bulldog pipe. These two flakes provided three and a half hours of complete bliss! I love this flake so much that I have just ordered some other Gawith flakes like Full VA Flake, Sam's Flake, Chocolate Flake and Kendall Cream Flake.

I've also been smoking a lot of Dunhill Light Flake, GLP Montgomery and some McClelland straight matured Virginias. Prior to this streak I was having a fling with Latakia blends. It is quite interesting how our tastes vary from one genre to another in a cycle. Thank God for the wonderful variety we have in thousands of blends of many different tobaccos! This is just one of an exponential amount of reasons why I smoke a pipe.

Of course, by this time next month, I fully expect that I will be a "Burleysexual" smoking up my stash of Edgeworth Sliced, Barbary Coast and Mac Baren's Burley London Blend!

    I had a similar impression of Best Brown Flake when I first tried it - and I too was shocked when the tin was empty! That weed just grows on a guy - its so smooth. BBF and FVF are two of my holy grails. Depending on which one I happen to be smoking, I'll tell ya that one is the better of the two. And, put a year of age on FVF and you're in for an incredible smoke.
