Evening Flake is a blend By Erik Stokkebye. This tobacco beautifully illustrates that he knows his stuff! Fine tobaccos are used. They are heat-pressed for a week before being cut into the flakes you can see in my photograph, just below.
The flake made for an easy load and light smoke.
The aroma and taste are not unlike a smoky fire pit. Although the complexity of that aroma is not found in its exactness, it is not missed either.
The fragrance doesn’t hang heavily, nor linger. I was smoking on a bench during lunch and two people chose to sit next to me. They did not mind the aroma, one even commenting they liked it!
This tobacco is a little spicy on the tongue. But the smoky aroma and a satisfyingly smooth retrohale, it is an ideal choice before bed. It’s relaxing, warming and overall, just a very pleasant, mild, simple smoke.
