Battle Of The Bulk Virginias

Newminster 400 is a superb Va Flake. What an incredible bargain it is.

Big time. If it was labeled as a different brand it would be at least 2x the price.

This is my favorite , sweet, simple, cheap, always consistent.

Can’t be had anywhere so might as well not suggest it! Also it’s not a bulk, is it?

Readily available in bulk in the UK, which I think he calls home.

Yes Brown Flake is readily available in bulk over here, all the Germain's blends are available in bulk. I just ordered some bulk Germain's Medium Flake.

Newminster 400 is a superb Va Flake. What an incredible bargain it is. While i know they aren't technically bulk, I consider brands that sell 8 oz and 1 lb cans or boxes to be bulk. Which opens bulk choices up considerably. If you're looking for good prices on Va blends, C&D Opening Night is awesome. Mac Baren HH Pure Va is awesome but not quite as much of a bargain.

Could you compare the NM 400 to LNF?

I've had a friend send me several pounds of RDF purchased in bulk.

I can. I don't think they're very comparable. I'm not sure why the NM 400 is labeled as a Navy Flake. It tastes mostly like a bright Va Flake to me. Reasonably mild and citrus sweet flavors. I enjoy it as a first smoke of the day with coffee. Have several pounds aging.

Often wondered why they call it a Navy Flake as well, seems like a straight VA flake to me.

Sutliff 515 RC-1 and Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake. If you like perique and a little bc in there then you have my all time favorite, Lux Bullseye Flake. My recommendation is to age these tobaccos for a couple of years as the bulk blends tend to be fresh and green.
