I am a big fan of SG Navy Flake. Always a great smoking experience.

I've just posted my thoughts of the Samuel Gawith Navy Flake on my New pipe(s) thread

Mike, how would you compare the SG Navy Flake to the MB Navy Flake? I really like the Mac Baren

MBNF
- Virginia, Burley, cavendish blend
- flakes are consistent in size and shape
- packed in the tin dryer then SG
- rubs out easily into a nice ribbon
- stays lit well
- it is a lighter tasting blend compared to SG

SGNF
- Virginia, Latakia blend with a rum casing
- flakes are inconsistent in thickness in the tin, consistent in 500 g box.
- packed very wet requiring drying time
- requires some extra effort when rubbing out to a good ribbon.
- I prefer to smoke this tobacco by folding and stuff packing method.
- Flavor profile is stronger tasting then the MB.
- Room note is Smokey due to the Latakia.
- it requires some relights, drying out helps.

Thanks Mike, I knew there were reasons why I like the MB over the SG
