I'm still smoking my first bowl of this tasty flake. Right outta the bag it has not required a relight since charring. Smooth, tasty, did I mention it tastes really good? My Escudo was back ordered, but this will help me get over the hump.

It is a good choice, I'd also recommend the Luxury Bullseye Flake. Both are solid bulk blends.

Great stuff regardless, but I have been really enjoying folding a flake of LNF and LTF together for a zesty and sweet smoke.

Enjoy!

That sounds like a winning combo cosmic.

Cosmic, I never thought of that. I know folks on here mix say Walnut with Carter Hall and stuff like that, but never, EVER thought of LNF and LTF. Guess what I am smoking tonight??? :worship:

LBE was the first I went to after getting started enjoying these 'pages' and had just begun to partake of the Cornucopia of tobacco. I have enjoyed it too. Somehow, the cavendish center is more of a distraction to me all the way through the process.
That Mc2015 ain't bad once it gets a lot of air...and defumigates some of the ketchup smell.
Fresh out the bag this LNF seems to be something I'll be happy with. The end of my first bowl got some peppery, but that's concentration due to over sip. mmmm mmmm good.

I haven't liked a tobacco as instantly as Luxury Navy Flake since I cracked a tin

of Orlik Golden Sliced. Another perfectly balanced Virginia.

Of all the tobaccos I've tried, I have to say if I could only have one, it'd be Luxury Navy Flake. I have some Englishes that have more flavor, but I wouldn't want that flavor all the time. LNF is mild enough to be my favorite all-day smoke.
Thanks for the tip, cosmic; that will be my next bowl.

I just loaded an MM General with LNF and LTF folded and stuffed and cosmic is right. I mixed them in equal proportions, and the Twist adds a delightful spiciness to the sweetness of the Navy. This will happen again; highly recommend trying it
Thanks cosmic!

I bought 4 oz of McC 2015 and just squirreled it away in a couple jars. I expect it will be quite good after some downtime hiding in my cabinet.

We're all on a similar wave length. After I acquired my first order from P&C which had one aro and LBE, I next got in some Mc2015, and some Escudo. I ordered LNF, OrlickGF, and more Escudo last week. I haven't tried the Orlick yet...it's tinned, so I'm gonna hold up on that. My Escudo was back ordered!
That Mc2015 does require something to make it palatable from the olfactory sense. It is a nice smoke and all, but leaves a lot to be desired with its 'nose'.

I just tried this recently. Pretty good stuff but it tends to go nuclear easily. No tongue bite, just a charred cob.
