    Best "Bulk" Navy Flake/Straight VA Flake

    I feel like with bulk flakes, they do better with some age. I will recommend what's already been stated with Newminster, PS LNF and MB HH Pure Virgnia are good right out of the gate, but a year really helps them along. Jason

    Pete Prevost from BriarWorks on Radio Show of January 17, 2023

    Great show. My first really nice new pipe was a Briarworks C101 author. Smoked great out of the box and it got me started along my pipe collecting journey. I've never met Pete in person but I'm so glad for the the success of the store front and continuing the Briarworks brand. Great show Brian...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2023?***

    Peretti Ampersand Flake, rubbed out, in a sandblasted Chris Asteriou military mount billiard. Stressful day, but hoping that things return to normal with the holidays coming to an end. Jason

    How Are These Still Available?

    You are absolute correct. Capstan has always sold for a higher price than the equivalent blends that have been listed throughout the duration of this thread including other virginia based blends produced by Mac Baren's. I, like you, very much agree that this is a great deal if you like...

    Brian's Zoom Pipe Club Meeting on Radio Show of December 27, 2022

    Great show Brian, What a cast of characters you have the pleasure of speaking/seeing on a regular basis. I liked the two question, round robin format. They all gave very thoughtful answers to the second question. Enjoyed your rav as well. Literally, delivering packages and working in retail...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    I have been smoking a very fresh tin of MB Navy Flake and I can't believe what the age of what you have here, is so noticeably darker. I just recently purchased a lb and I can't wait for this type of aging. Jason

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    Is this the 'mini' version or is it in the 5.5+ inch version? Just curious. Have a great evening Jim. Jason

    Rich Esserman on Radio Show of December 20, 2022

    Good Afternoon Brian, Really enjoyed the show with Rich and I am very much enjoying (as I am also enjoying the current tobacco production conversations) the format of answering Fred's questions. I always enjoy listening to the opinions of such esteemed colleagues who have been in the hobby for...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired, rubbed out, with a little sprinkling of Navy Flake to sweeten it up a bit. I usually never mix blends, but I thought I'd give it a try. Freezing my rear end off in my garage wearing multiple layers and gloves. Everyone stay warm out there. Jason

    Capstan Original Navy Flake (Blue)

    Blue is definitely in my top 5. I've not tried the yellow yet, but I have an unopened tin downstairs that is on deck. I've only met a couple of straight virginia's that I didn't like. Jason

    Where Do You Usually Smoke?

    Winter time in the garage with an oil heater almost sitting on my lap. In the summer, I'm on back, but it's mostly cigars that time of year. I just need to invest in a better heater for the winter. Genuinely envious of those who smoke indoors, but I appreciate that it doesn't reek. Jason
