MmmmmmmmMMMM! Great stuff! This is my first Virginia pipe tobacco, but I was already familiar with good Virginias when I used to smoke cigarettes and rolled my own. I love that sweet, spicy taste.

And the best thing about the flake is this shit never wants to go out.

Yep! I'm a fan of this stuff too.

I used to love MacBaren tobacco, but I've grown tired of their flavor. Seems Mixture, Dark Twist, and Navy Flake (never had the Virginia flake) smell and taste the same.

So Labrat ---- what are you smoking now???

Funny you ask...just had 8 oz of 5100, 8 oz of 2015, and 8 oz of 2035 land on my doorstep this afternoon.

Oh, still love MacBaren's Vanilla Creme and Lane's BCA, too.

Still can't get used to Latakia.

I know people love it and I've tried...I've really, really tried. About as close to it I can get is an occasional Frog Morton OTB. Problem with FM is it really smokes wet for me. Probably my technique, but I'll go to it more in the Winter, I'm sure.
