The peccant part: This nice, dark flake was a rather enjoyable, mild to medium smoke. I think the mooses may bring her in for another try. The jury is out on whether there is a repeat performance. And, my non-smoking wife decided to try this one based on the room note and thought it was 'ok'. The smoke was luxurious to me and my wife enjoyed the smoke as well. As my sipping slowed, it thinned out to a nice cirrus feather. Wafting Smoke: The smoke was variable in density by pipe (the physics of which I do not quite understand) and also varied once I figured out a good cadence. BTW, we both abhor eating fruit cake 'bricks' but do like helping my mom make them. She, like me, found it comparable to a fruit cake too but it could be the power of suggestion after I mentioned that is what it brought to my minds eye. What she said: My wife rated this a very nice smell but not as nice as the Autumn Evening and Three Blind Moose samples she had just smelled. I suppose some would call this 'rubbed out' but my tin has some larger chunks of flake so I will call it broken flake. Visual: A beautiful dark, tan, and yellow tobacco hues mixed throughout a broken flake. Much like what I think of when I think of Redman Gold chewing tobacco's taste and pouch note (sorry if I refer to chewing tobacco but it was such a rite of passage during my southern baseball days that it seems to be part of my blood). I do smell tobacco and molasses or sorghum or cane syrup. I am not getting the Citrus but I have looked for it. Now I catch the grassy, hay like quality that every one notes as typically Virginia. Fruitcake, Claxton fruitcake with a spicy tension of nutmeg, light cinnamon, and cardamon mixed with dried cherries and raisins with sugared pecans. I had my usual drink on hand for day smoking, sweet iced tea, and I kept a bowl of blackberries at hand because we have a fridge full. His stories are rough and ready and pull you into his forested world.

It for me was the perfect bowl because it produced a copious amount of smoke with a full draw and it would sit patient and cool, requiring only 1 relight as I made my way through the short stores of Norman Maclean, which, by the by, I recommend to everyone. I settled on the billiard in the photo as my favorite.

Setup: I smoked Old Gowrie in 3 different bowls to test how bowl size might influence the smoke feel and flavor. (See Pipedia and Wikipedia for more detailed information). This tobacco company became one of the largest and most well known tobacco companies in the tobacco world. In any case, Charles Rattray, a Scot through and through, found the House of Rattray in Perth. See how that just grabs you by the short ones and makes you tingle all over. Just let the name of the River Tay roll off your tongue and think of a bowl of Rattray's Old Gow'ray' while fishing the Tay. But more importantly than growing food for the masses, this region is home to waters that provide some really top notch Trout and Salmon fly fishing and to many, even considered the best in Europe. This regions is today known, for the most part, as Perthshire. First, a history lesson: Gowrie is actually a region of Scotland known for it's rich farmland, often called the 'Garden of Scotland'.
