Shirt version:
Scottish Cake in a Stanwell.
Long version: Robert McConnell Scottish Cake,from 04 gifted me by Ole Dog, in a nearly new Stanwell 217 rustico.
I bought the pipe a few days after I received the tobacco,it is a replacement for a Stanwell H17. I have no clue what he diff is between a 217 and an H17, other than a tad less rustication on the new one they could have been twins.
All I've smoked in this pipe is the Scottish Cake,
Scottish Cake is a tempormental blend. Smoke it to fast and you will think your heads on fire,but if you slow down .
I perceive it to be a mild smoke,but it really has a good amount of flavor. I wish I were the type to be able to wax poetic about flavors but I'm not. The tin aroma is fruity,like rotton fruit actually, but it doesn't transfer into the smoke. The smoke for lack of better terminology is bready like, like a mildly sweet bread. The flavor lingers long after smoking and makes me desire a good cheese and some wine.
I guess I'll go see what TR has to say about it now . I may be loving on a hated product.
