I'm the same way with burleys. I'm generally not a fan (with a couple of exceptions like Irish Flake and Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky).
I have heard that the Aged Burley Flake is nice and sweet though and I do enjoy tobaccos with a lot of natural sweetness. It is on my short list to order.

G&H Louisiana Perique - lightin up the old nicotine receptors!

Pipe: Brylon straight pot with square sides. I think it's a Yello Bole, not sure, it's the brand with the club (shamrock) symbol on the side. I quit using this pipe a while ago as it was a severe gurgler, but I thought I'd give it a try again tonight, as I've graduated from pipe noob tenderfoot second class to pipe noob tenderfoot first class. So far so good, but it has required a few more relights than I prefer.

Finishing up a bowl of FVF in a Savinelli Series III.
This is the first time I've tried a flake using the cube cut method. I think I like it.

I really like the flavors cube cutting tends to bring out.
My only problem is that I prefer to just gravity fill the cube cut, but I also like to keep my ash relatively clean. It is hard to dump the ash when your tobacco wants to fall out with it!
But some flakes are worth the hassle.

If you're smoking outside, just loosen the ash a bit with a pick and blow lightly across the bowl. That's what I do, it just whisks away the ash and leaves the heavier, un-burned tobacco behind.

I might have to go for some FVF flake or Newminster 400 later this afternoon. I have a pipe with a slight latakia ghost right now and it goes good with VA flake... either that or I'll have to beef up the lat ghost with another bowl of Gaslight... further details as events warrant.

You sound like a man that would really like SG Navy Flake. It's a great Virginia/Latakia blend.

Yes, I do have a few lbs of it squirreled away :p :p :p :pipe:
I also have a store of F&K Lancer Slices. It's not as good as Navy Flake but it's not too shabby either... and it's CHEAPER!

Great day!

Spent the first half of the day smoking and talking with legendary pipe maker, Barry Jones, at his house with Ken Barnes and my wife. Barry broke out a box of aged tobaccos including this Stokkebye VA Flake. Later had dinner with Ken's 91-yo mother at her lovely home and she's always wonderful. Only negative is our accommodations at the inferior Premier Inn, 3X the price of a Red Roof Inn and lacking in comparison.

Tomorrow we leave Ken and head into London for a few days.

Vile. It was a sample of a blend a friend tried. I'll try to be objective if he ever asks me what I thought of it, though.

Yeah...depending on the year, Kaywoodie's can be very hit or miss. I have had some that are excellent, and others that weren't even fit to be wall hangers. I find that most older ones are quality though.

Prepping some Abingdon for tonight. Probably smoke it in either a Custombilt or maybe a Peterson...

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1982 James Upshall bX, triangle shanked saddle billiard with a gold band.

The way I'm smoking this tobacco you'd think that it's all I have. The tobacco was quite dry and it smoked with less distinction and hotter, I just prefer it on the moist side.

Hope that you had as beautiful a day as we had here in South Eastern NY.
