I first bought this particular blend about a year ago and it quickly became my go-to blend. This navy flake is a virginia/perique blend that has a mild and sweet flavor, perfect for any time of day. When I first got it and smoke my first bowl, I was rather disappointed as I could taste very little. However, I decided to stick with it and over the next few bowls I began to taste more and more. The flakes right out of the bag have a straw-like aroma to them. I usually fold them up and stuff them in my pipe. I would describe the flavor as being mellow and sweet, but not too sweet. One of the best things about this blend is that is has little to no bite. It is not nearly as finicky as other virginias are. Even when I have smoked it too hot, it never burned me. As for the roomnote, it is pleasant. I have had several people comment about how good it smells. I have asked a few people and they describe it as "woodsy". Another great thing about this particular blend is that is not that expensive. A pound costs around $25. One word of caution is that it is heavy in nicotine content. A couple of times I went awhile without smoking or without smoking heavier blends and it made me sick. You might want to start with a half-bowl. Overall, this is a great blend for the flavor and price.
