luxury bullseye flake

[jbmills]

So I tried out some of this luxury Bullseye flake that rickpal was nice enough to send me to broaden my horizons and I gotta say I really liked it. I mostly dig heavy aromatics but this is good stuff. I'm hoping soon to order the middle earth sampler cause that stuff sounds great and I'm an LOTR nerd, but does anyone have any suggestions for stuff like the bullseye flake that I might like? I'm still new and itching to try everything! :D

The other Luxury Flakes by PS are also excellent smokes.

 

[jbmills]

Thanks unclearthur. I might have to check those out.

I agree with unclearthur the other 2 PS the LTF and LNF are just awesome smokes and a must try. But if you are digging on the LBF I'd say try some Davidoff Flake Medallions, they are alot like the LBF, coin size with a black cavendish center, very smooth, spicy peppery goodness like the LBF.

Oh your touching home here, Davidoff Flake Medallions, a little pricey but mmmm tastey stuff with a perfect balance, in my personal taste anyways. A tad stronger perique than other coins. crush em or stuff em burns well, I like to let a coin set out for an hour or two before smoking. Smoke gently and midway you'll get one of those heavenly smoke feelings as a whiff reaches the nose, bout when your mind wonders away and you forget your smoking a pipe, it seems to grab ya and say, not so fast, I'm here too..

If you've ever walked across a freshly cut alph-alpha field you'll get the aroma upon opening a new tin. Like I said, I bit pricey, but well worth a try.

@Briar Bully~I loved Davidoff Flake Medallions when I first started smoke'in...had some tin QC issues..some opened ones had muted flavors...so I have been staying away and went with Escudo for contant flavor punch...very good VaPer...also Marlin Flake is one of my favs ::

Glad u liked!! One of my favs too!!! Gonna have to try the other flakes as mentioned by Uncle Arthur!

 

[jbmills]

Thanks to all for the recommendations.

@briarbully- I grew up working on a farm so the smell of alfalfa always brings back good memories.

@rickpal- you are the man for turning me on to this stuff, I'm def gonna have to order some of this and the other ones mentioned here. My only complaint was being new it took me a while to figure out how to prep it for smoking. I think my next order will be the LOTR sampler and some of the LBF.

So much tobacco, so little money. :D

If you like LBF, you'll love Escudo. Just picked up some more Cope's myself

Seriously, you owe it to yourself to get some, post-haste.

Dunhill makes a knock-off that's pretty good too :mrgreen: (and yes, that was tongue-in-cheek, so don't send me Dunhill hate mail).

PS Navy Flake (my go to tobacco) and PS Twist Flake are also great smokes.

 

[lordnoble]

If you can find it, Dunhill's Elizabethan Mixture is another VaPer that I think is better than Escudo OR Bulls Eye Flake. It's been discontinued so it may not be readily available, but if you happen to see some pick it up.

PS Bulls Eye has gotten hard to get recently for some reason.....Finally found it and ordered a couple boxes of it and Navy Flake. Always happens when I find something I like....gets harder to find. :puffpipe:

Out of the the three I like the Navy Flake the best .

 

[johnnyxpipe]

I just got some PS Navy Flake and its quickly becoming one of my go to tobaccos.

 

[brewshooter]

How does the PS Navy Flake compare to something like MacBaren's Navy Flake? I'm a big fan of MacBaren's Navy!

Brewshooter: If you are referring to Mac Baren Plumcake Navy Blend; there are several.
1st: If you are referring to PS Luxury Bulls Eye Flake: Then Plumcake has no perique.

2nd: PS Luxury Bulls Eye Flake is "flake" and comes cut into coins, where Plumcake is not a flake and is a ribbon cut.

Both are excellent smokes, but very different.

 

[abecox]

I'm seconding the Davidoff Flake Medallions.
I got a tin in Austria, and its served me well. Maybe I'll have to try the PS Version to see how it compares.

 

[echopipe]

One word.. ESCUDO....

And yes, you will love me.

Thanks Lawrence, I have some PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in my cellar right now. I'm actually curious how the PS Luxury Navy Flake compares to the Mac Baren Navy Flake.

 

[maduroman]

i smoke both, enjoy both and they are very simular, at leaste to me, in taste. if you like one, you should like the other, kinda the same, but different...
