Time again for another rollie tobacco, and this time I am reviewing the Auld Kendal Dutch Flake by makers Gawith and Hoggarth. This hand-rolling tobacco is a blend of Virgina and Burley tobaccos and has a slight, very slight spiced aromatic flavour. In fact, I wasn't even aware of the spice until it was mentioned by another who smokes this particular tobacco, but knowing it's there, I can taste it... perhaps it's all in the mind.
The Dutch Flake has no strong flavours of any sort, for better or worse, but I think this leaves something to be desired. It's certainly not bad, but not that good either- the limbo of rollie tobacco... Nevertheless, its moderately strong with a moderately thick smoke, and fairly good for smoke rings (a very important trait!). Give it a try, I am not terribly familiar with specifically Dutch style tobaccos, but apparently this one is quintessentially Dutch.
