Favorite flake/coin/rope tobacco?

Too many flakes at the top of my smoking order to make a list! - that said, I am really enamored with the new Newminster Tobacco Superior Navy Flake - just incredible, and the first flake that I want to smoke exclusively unrubbed.

My favorite hand's down is Samuel Gawith FUll Virginia Flake.

KEY LARGO. It is delicious! Has cigar leaf tho so maybe not for everyone.

I like two of the flakes you mentioned. Not tried the Escudo yet. I like McB Mixture Flake I think even a bit more than the Vanilla, highly recommended. I too have become a fan of flake tobaccos. I love the slow burning and flavor packed characteristics this processing method yields. Pressed flakes seem a great way to cellar and enjoy Virginia blends and that is something I am really enjoying now.

Penzance...none finer :worship:

gungnir, here is my list of flakes, vapers and ropes. I smoke these most of the time with only Boswell aromatics thrown in. I keep them all in my cellar and enjoy everyone for different reasons.
Flakes:
Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake(great afternoon or all day smoke)
Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake ( stronger than best brown good after a meal)
Samuel Gawith Firedance Flake ( an aromatic flake for dessert)
Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug ( great morning, afternoon, sweet flake)
Solani Silver Flake ( nice full bodied flake)
Solani Aged Burley flake ( has a nutty sweetness, with some nice body)
Hamborger Veermaster( classic all day flake, tough to find)
Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake ( nice flavorful all day flake)
Astley's 109 ( nice mild flake, an all day smoke)
Orlick Dark Strong Kentucky ( nice medium bodied flake with hints of molasses) sold also as Peter Heinrichs Special Selection: Dark Strong
Gawith, Hoggarth & Co Ennerdale Flake ( classic lakeland flake with some unusual casings)
Gawith, Hoggarth & Co Rum Flake ( very nice after dinner sweet flake, has some kick)
Peterson's Irish Flake ( after dinner, full stomach, one of the strongest blends on market, good stuff.
Virginia Perique Flakes and discs:
Escudo ( all time classic, must have in cellar)
Samuel Gawith St James Flake ( all time classic, a must try)
Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake ( nice medium strength vaper in disc form)
Solani 633, ( excellent medium strength flake)
Reiner Long Golden ( similar to Solani 633)
Original Bells Three Nuns ( round discs that are a classic taste if you can find them)
Ropes:
Samuel Gawith Black XX Twist ( medium strength rope, nice sweet flavor)
Samuel Gawith Brown Rope No.4 ( strong, smoky and sweet. Nicotine bomb)

cigrmaster, thanks for posting that list, along with the descriptions! Just this morning I was determined to compile a list of flakes, and bingo, there was yours! :clap:

cortezattic, my pleasure, glad I could be of help.

Penzance is more of a crumble cake, IMO. :P
Flakes: SG Best Brown is at the top of my list. Their Balkan Flake is also nice - one of the few flakes with latakia.

Ropes: Rumored to be nic monsters, I avoid these like the plague.

Coins: Haven't done much with these.

Well in that case I know what will be on my next TAD order!
Irish flake is the only one I've tried and I love the stuff! Burns slow, great flavor, and it's nice and heavy, but not harsh.

Escudo, MacBaren Navy Flake, GLP Sextant.

I'm also getting into flakes in a big way. If I could find a way to do nothing but sit and enjoy flakes. Anyway: I will also add my support for Escudo and Sextant. C&D's Burley Flake #3 and Blockade Runner are also in my rotation. Has anyone tried Dunhill Navy Rolls? I think I read they are coins. I figure if something is good enough for Tolkien, then I might as well try it.

Stokkebye LNF, Erinmore Flake, Peterson Irish Flake ..... these are regulars for me. Due to economics, I tend to smoke more of LNF and save the others for special occasions. I've also tried Stokkebye LTF which was pretty good but not an all day smoke. I have a few other flakes in the cellar that haven't made it to the pipe yet.

Coin-wise I like Stokkebye LBF and Mc Baren Latakia Blend, these are the only two I've tried.

Can't speak for ropes since I haven't yet tried any yet. Was thinking about Peterson Perfect Plug next time I put in a TAD order.

My favorite coin of all time, Bell's Three nuns - "Nun Finer"

Today I smoke Villiger 1888 Cocktail Hour, it reminds me of three nuns kinda....

I mostly smoke flakes ( my only flake at the moment is SG SL )I suppose top of the list would be GH Balkan Flake folloed by SG Navy Flake and FVF
