Look beside the stuff and next to the things. Maybe under the stuff that's behind the things?
In Praise of PS Luxury Navy Flake

I’m still bouncing around fresh stuff trying to find my groove, and feeding the curiosity (and horses and a Harley, and shunting habit) has me not yet at the point of sticking up on stuff in hopes of emnjoyingvitvin the future.
I’ve only had fresh-ish LNF, and it didn’t wow me at all. Maybe someday I’ll get a good amount for future Steve to enjoy.

Careful what you wish for - I now have two young nieces in NZ so there is likely a chance I'll be over there soon.
That's right, my DNA is now apart of New Zealand.
In September 2005 I bought a pound of Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake from vegassmokes.com that had been vacuum sealed in 1997.
I initially stored it in a sealed container until I finally cut open the plastic in September 2012. The flakes had basically fused together to form what I'd describe as a cross between a plug & a crumble cake. I broke it into large chunks & put the chunks into 1/2 pint Mason jars. I've sampled from those jars off & on ever since. The tobaccos seems relatively dry but smokes beautifully & absolutely delicious.
I definitely agree that LNF is a must-have for any aficianado of Virginia & Virginia/
Perique pipe tobaccos, especially considering how good it is relative to how cheap it is!

I want to like this more than I do. I always fall back on Elizabethan Mixture as my default vaper. I'll try one of my aged jars again soon and reassess.
Smoking some from 2020 now and it’s wonderful. Wonder what it would have been like with more age. May have to buy a good bit and sit on it for the future.
How are you stoving? I've been thinking of experimenting with a sous vide.
I enjoyed the Luxury Navy Flake in my clay pipes. I think flake smokes well in clay; especially the Gawith flakes. Erinmore Flake is a good baccy for a clay pipe as well; plastic free packaging as well!
It has a screw on lid, and is the 2lb 2.5 oz square size.
Eat the peanuts and wash it out with soap and water and let it dry.
A pound and a half box of PS LFN fills it nearly full.
Free humidor.
Won’t break.
Add a moisturizer as needed or leave unsealed to dry.
See through
Wide mouth.
Why not?
I used this method as explained by member Gamzulatovah. How To Home Stove Tobacco - Informational Only :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/how-to-home-stove-tobacco-informational-only.82853/
It worked and the aroma is incredible. The taste is improved and it’s fun to experiment.
