P.S. Luxury Twist Flake

[isaac]

I was able to smoke a sample of six year old Luxury Twist Flake. It was sublime. Probably one of the sweeter Viriginias, much like Newminster 400. Im wondering how much age played into that? Those of you that smoke thiss blend on a regular basis, how would you compare fresh to aged?

I plan on loading up on this blend, but dont want to be too disappointed with the fresh stuff.

The older the smoother and sweeter in my opinion. Also, you may want to try this…. How To Home Stove Tobacco - Informational Only :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/how-to-home-stove-tobacco-informational-only.82853/ It’s specifically about Luxury Twist Flake.

The results are fantastic. The aroma is awesome.

The PS luxury LN/B/TF blends change for the better with age more than any blend I can think of. Relatively quickly too, even 1 year in the jar makes a huge difference.

Ages well, but fresh is … meh.

wondering how much age played into that?

Or how much the coconut topping did.

Either way, just looking for answers haha

Either way, it's one of my favorites.

I find LTF to be an excellent tobacco fresh and aged. If it isn't a good tobacco to smoke fresh then it won't be good later either.

Take a flake of LTF and LNF, stack them, and twist them together and stuff in the pipe. LNF is too humdrum for me, and LTF too aromatic, but together they have the aroma of a freshly opened box of cowboy boots. It’s one if my favorite smokes.

I believe it was a COSMIC TWIST. Or was that the name of the dance….

I don’t care what ya’ll call it, as long as you send me a dollar every time you smoke it, ha ha.

Glad you specified dollar per smoke. Not dollar per dance.

I love the jar note of LTF. I don smoke it much (usually buried under a bunch of jars), but enjoy it every time I have it. Looking forward to some age on it.

You shouldn't be disappointed, I've found Stokkebye's virginias to age very well. I have some Birdseye, Navy, and Twist Flake in the cellar that's just a little over 10 years now, absolutely delicious.

Couldn't agree more. I've recently been finding pure virginia blends to be a little on the monotonous side - heavy into Scottish blends right now. Could be just another post-Covid surprise.

I took your suggestion with some 2018 LTF and some 2020 LNF. Incredible smoke, thanks.

I’m a fan. Where do I send my dollar?

I hope I end up liking the 2+ lbs of LTF I have sitting in jars. Smoked some early on and the coconut was way too strong for my tastes. That was 6+ years ago. I hope the tobacco has morphed in that time. LNF and LBF are 2 of my go to's after 5 years of age.

Ahhh, you need two pounds of LNF to make them a good smoke.
