Bloodhound Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 The Scottish Autumn Flake is a new one to me as well. I haven't opened it yet, but I will post a review here when I try it. As to the Billy Bud, I have tried the original version, but the new Blonde version is supposed to be lighter in flavor. The blends both get a lot of their flavor from cigar leaf...the name is unfortunate in the pot climate of Colorado... Link to post Share on other sites

Marc Ret Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 While going through some boxes of stuff last evening looking for something unrelated, I came across a full 100g tin of "Frog Morton". What it was doing in a box of sporting goods, I don't know. I was ecstatic to find it though. Life is good. Link to post Share on other sites
Jakeismydog2 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Do any of you guys use a smoke eater in your man cave or have any exhaust venting when you smoke in the house? I am putting in a man cave in my basement and would like to be able to smoke my pipe in there without getting any complaints from anyone else living in the house. Link to post Share on other sites

I tried smoke eater candles and a vent and a fan and it still caused issues. All of my smoking is done outdoors or at a smoke shop. Link to post Share on other sites
salmontogue Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I tried to find a tin of Scottish Autumn Flake but have not located it at my usual sources. Any thoughts where I might find some? Perk Link to post Share on other sites
salmontogue Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Smoking is not allowed inside buildings or motor vehicles. Porches, decks and anywhere else outdoors is just fine. Rules of the management. Jacky's parents were heavy cigarette smokers and she hated it. Pipes and cigars are acceptable but never indoors. Perk Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps Bloodhound's friend knows of a source? All the Gawith tobaccos are OOS at the link he posted and several others I've checked. Link to post Share on other sites
DTB Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 This is for the pipe smoker who already has everything....300 pages about pipe tampers. The gentleman who wrote it is a customer I've been fishing for about 20 years. At 82 he caught a 120 pound tarpon on fly.He is scheduled to be here in May at the age of 84.He and his family come all the way from Scotland and bring a little bit of Scottish flavor to the Florida Keys. Here is his book P And here is Alastair fighting his 120# pound fish. The fish pulled us through the bridge twice. (I rig a special little seat just for him) Alastair is an amazing person.

Thanks Rob but it isn't going to make it to EBay, already opened it. I know when I've checked since learning that McClelland was no more, I saw prices for Frog from $60-$80. If they were bringing $500 I might have had to sell it but since that isn't the case, I'll just enjoy watching my $100 go up in smoke. BTW, date code shows it as 2002.

Bloodhound Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I pulled this off of Tobacco Reviews: "Scottish Autumn Pipe Tobacco by Samuel Gawith has the natural ripeness of the long-pressed Virginias. Along with the slow-burn this makes Scottish Autumn a most suitable flake for smoking on its own, or blending with other tobaccos. Notes: This flake is part of a limited Four Season series in a wild collaboration of Samuel Gawith, Stanislaw and DTM. These flakes are: Irish Spring Time Flake, English Summer Flake, Scottish Autumn Flake, and Winter Time Flake. Scottish Autumn Pipe Flake Tobacco is no longer in production." So its discontinued. I love those and dread them too. I might open it and it might be "The One" and that's it, no more to be found. I havn't poped this tin yet. I'll wait for a fishing trip or bird hunt to open it up and give it a try. Link to post Share on other sites
