This must be one of the coolest blends. Not only is it a flake which burns cooler, it is cooler than most flakes. From their website,
SCOTTISH FLAKE: Our fullest bodied flake. A blend of mature virginias are cured with red wine, pressed in a cake, and steam treated. The result is a jet black cake which delivers load of thick rich smoke.
I suppose it is the red wine which makes it so cool when it burns. It almost remids me of a Florida everglades fire; it just smolders along never going out and flares up occasionally. Although I enjoy using the whole flake method of smoking, this flake seems a little too dense to burn this way and responds better to typical rolling to break it up well.
