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

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.
