some McClelland Navy Cav. The wifes' first comment to me after a long 12+ day of toil was, "no offense but you stink.".
Lovely.

Low Country Pipe and Cigar's Wacammaw. Very nice smoke....

Cob and a local "TabbacoLand" bulk called simply "Burley". They wouldn't tell me the supplier.

I'm still learning all the lingo but I believe it's "caked" ....???..... Weird shape, like it was cut in strips. Not ribbon-cut but different.

Anyone know a website with pics describing such things??

Anyways........... It's pretty good. 3rd bowl today.

"caked" is a process that presses the tobacco into either cubes, which you break pieces off of and rub them out, or the manufacturer cuts the pressed tobacco into strips or flakes. I actually prefer the cake tobacco. The pressing adds a lot to the flavor, imho.

Well, it certainly not flakes, and I've seen pics of "cubed" and it doesn't look like that either. It looks like it was pressed and then cut into strips.

I smoked it as is and also crumbled or "rubbed out" I quess it's called. Both ways were good but was better rubbed and lasted longer.

The only info about it I got from TabaccoLand staff was that it comes in 5 Lb bags.

I think what you've got is considered to be flakes. Does it look like it might have started out as a cake that was sliced off? And when you rub it out does it look like a ribbon cut?

If you answered yes to these I think you've got a flake.

Did some further research. It is flake.

Been smoking the chit out of Carter Hall today. Wonderful smoking qualities in this one. Nice thick billows of smoke, no bite and no problem keeping it lit all the way to the bottom. Lacks a bit on flavor, but the ease of smoking will keep me coming back. Maybe I should try mixing it with other favorites.
