Here’s an extreme close up of the SG Bracken Flake. I even tried the fold & stuff method and that worked well too.Ī look inside my almost empty tin reveals the very dark flakes. You end up with hard 1/8th and 1/4 inch chunks at it’s finest. You cannot rub this out with your hands like you may be used to with other flakes. I can just smoke Bracken Flake instead.Īs Bracken Flake’s name implies, this is definitely a flake tobacco and it has the hardiest, chunkiest flakes ever. Maybe I don’t have to take a baby aspirin in the morning anymore. However there is little if any coumarin entering the blood stream when tonquin is in tobacco that is smoked.Ĭool.
It naturally contains a fairly large amount of coumarin, an active blood-thinner that is poisonous in large amounts. It’s the extract of the Tonka bean, much like vanilla is extracted from the Vanilla bean, and it has a very strong and distinct aroma and taste. Staying on the liquor and sweetness theme, halfway through I get some butter rum, like a rum cake. While smoking Bracken Flake the initial tastes I get are like sipping whiskey, scotch or bourbon that has been fermented in oak barrels. Python writes of many flavors in his reviews, and even articulates how the flavors change while he is smoking. (Correction: Mate told me to try Balkan Flake, but I am giving him credit for this one too.)īracken Flake gives me more rich flavor than I have ever experienced from any tobacco.
I owe another note of thanks to " Mate" for recommending Bracken Flake at the same time he told me to try SG Commonwealth. Bracken Flake smells like it has this fine liquor in it. Opening a tin of Bracken Flake and taking a whiff gives me the same experience as opening a bottle of Cuervo Reserva de la Familia and doing the same. You can take this not only as a recommendation for the tequila, but for SG Bracken Flake too. The tequila has a full, mellow flavor that combines floral, agave, vanilla and Cognac-like flavors. It is a rich sipping Extra-Añejo tequila aged in oak barrels. The tin aroma reminds me of Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Tequila.
You better make sure you are sitting down when you smoke this one! You can even catch a buzz just from the tin aroma. Samuel Gawith Bracken Flake may have ruined me for all other pipe tobaccos.
