VA flakes are what woke me up to "real" pipe smoking. Prior to that I had been smoking mostly goopers and wondering what all the fuss was about :) First time I broke a flake up into a bowl and lit it, it was, okay, I get it now.Quote:

And on a side note, I just chased a possum off the deck. Dang, those thing are ugly!
Having a bowl of Five Brothers, part of a cluster bomb from our friend @Alligator Gar . Not sure how old it is, but it's definitely got some vintage on it. I had to rehydrate it a bit; think it's about right now.

Have you tried layering the tobaccos rather than blending them, JohnnyFlake told me about this and it makes the bowl more interesting.Quote:

I've mostly been enjoying latakia blends. The first few VAs I tried, I thought "meh." But these flakes are really making me "get" it - and especially that FVF.Quote:

Big fan of English/Balkans here as well. Re VA flakes, I'm not exactly in the high-rent district. I dig Marlin, pretty much all the Stokkebye flakes, and Newminster 400. Plus I have cold-pressed a few decent ones IIDSSM.Quote:
