Anyway, @Pipe Smoker , if you PM me your mailing address, I'll send you a sample of some flake I recently pressed - VA, perique, cavendish, and oriental.

That's a very kind offer, and I thank you for it, but I'm going to pass because I'm not a cavendish fan. So many tobaccos, so little time…

You press your own flakes? I'm impressed!

I think you might be able to find the little 50g square tins of Rattray's Marlin Flake at smokingpipes.com

Thanks for suggesting some options, but…

Re: "Same size [tin] as FVF."
Darn – I'm looking for compact storage.

Re: "Orlik has the small 50g tins, but it only has a little bit of perique."
That would be "Golden Sliced"? Didn't much like it – scarcely any Perique, and not a particularly good Virginia IMO. I have two unopened tins cellared 3/2013 – maybe better now.

Re: "Rattray's Marlin Flake."
Has black cavendish – darn.

I'm thinking that I'll just have to order a few tins of the Solani. Maybe I'll like it as a Virginia, even if its Perique component is lower than I prefer.
