I got Newminster Navy Flake off of the Virginia Cakes and Flakes Sampler for Pipes and cigars. IMHO - that was totally worth the money spent. All the components of that sampler are good.
I just have a quick question. New minster flake is very sugary. Some have said that the tobacco needs aging, I like it the way it is. I've ordered another half a pound to cellar though so I can Try it later on with a year of age. Is there some kind of dressing on this tobacco? It is so sweet. Maybe they put some sugar water in it or something. Does anyone know where it was grown? If you haven't tried this flake, now is the time. It is smooth, sweet, and refreshing to the palate.My wife is happy with the room note. She says I don't smell too bad when I smoke it. A lot of reviews say that this tobacco is one- dimensional. It can be, but the more I smoke it the more I tend to disagree. And did I mention, it burns really well. I like it crispy after about 15 minutes under a lamp.
