Two years ago I started this thread and we collectively came up with a great top 5 list.
http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/top-5-flakes-the-votes-are-in
Only 1 of mine was in the top 5 but my list has definitely changed from last time we did this. So I will start...
1. Rattray Wallace Flake

2. Solani 660 silver flake

3. HH Kentucky Bold

4. St. James Flake

5. Peter Stokkebye Luxury Flake
My list definitely changed. Just like last time I will tally everything after 1 week. Does not have to be virginia's just flakes.

BBF

RDF

Key Largo

Stonehaven

FVF
Feels like we're missing out on cakes, plugs, coins, etc.

And it's just a nice touch to spell out the initials the first time used in a post. Saves having to faff around looking it up if one can be arsed to do so.

 
Yeh, I see no point in telling everyone my whole list of flakes that I am still cellaring. I remember when I first joined and sang the praises of a certain flake, and everyone jumped in and sang it's praises also, and then it took me months to catch it back in stock somewhere.
I'll just say that my list is constantly shifting and changing.
