The Broken Scotch Cake by Gawith and Hoggarth is, I think, best described as bland and inoffensive. It's like the Bells or Famous Grouse of whiskeys (ok, to some they are quite offensive), or that gateau someone else baked at a party that you say is really nice, but never get around to finishing because it's dry and flavourless and really just mind-numbingly dull.
I could not discern any particular flavours of the Broken Scotch Cake, but as the little amount of tar did build up towards the end, there was a bit more of whatever flavour it was. Thankfully there was no offensive aftertaste either, so really I have no complaints about the tobacco except that it's just generally boring.
Give it a try if you like... I'm neither recommending it nor warning you not to spend your money on it, but personally I'll leave this one to the hoi-polloi- it's not for me.

what did you smoke it in? Often times you will find your smoking experience changes with the pipe. What smokes foul in a Falcon, may smoke wonderful in a Savinelli, or a Ser Jacapo.
