To spice things up a bit this year, I'm going to start doing a little giveaway each month.
For each person that reviews the PToM, I'll add a half ounce sample to the pot, up to a max of 2oz. total. Then, at the end of the month, I'll draw a winner from the lot who posted reviews and send them their winnings. Just a little juice to hopefully boost participation. Reviews don't need to be in any special format or super in-depth, just let us know what you thought of the PToM, what you liked, what you didn't. Maybe what it reminded you of. Pictures are great, too. Just share your thoughts, enjoy, and have fun.
Cool draws & sweet smokes, Brothers!

Well now. I was hoping offering prizes would ENCOURAGE more reviews, not discourage them. I guess if people "win" and don't want the sampler, they can always just have me send it to this guy right here! ^^^ :D

BBF is very good. Tastes like Brown Sugar Flake without the extra sweetness. Drying is needed before attempting to smoke this flake. At least one hour. I smoked it straight from the tin...big mistake, knowing how wet Sam Gawith flakes are. Over 10 relights before it started burning halfway decent.
