Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake

[Briar Lee]

I’ve been stocking up on tobaccos, using the excuse the taxes might go up.

One of my online purchases was 3 ounces of Luxury Twist Flake, which came to about $3 an ounce when combined with other orders.

Here’s the description:

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake is a wonderful, all-Virginia flake made in a singular way. Virginias are layered with a smooth added essence and rolled into ropes which are then placed into a form and firmly pressed. After pressing, the block is sliced for easy preparation. This is a smooth, mellow, slightly sweet flake that any Virginia lover will enjoy

——

There are about 12 square coins per ounce, and two coins fill a medium pipe.

This is a sweet, citrus tasting, long burning, classic Virginia smoke.

It makes you feel like you’re royalty selecting a couple of coins and rubbing them out, and filling your pipe.

A pound of this costs about $50, or about what the proposed tax a pound will be, if it passes.

But today, you can smoke this wonderful, top shelf Virginia pressed flake for about fifty cents a pipeful.

I think we’ve taken for granted, how cheap good tobacco really is.

I have always thought this is the prettiest flake on the market, a little sweeter than I smoke every day, but a very nice smoke regardless.

I also won this large briar pipe, obviously bench made, with a rubbed out name, for $27 on eBay. The briar used to make this pretty bauble cost about that.

With a one inch bowl, it would probably take four coins of Luxury Twist, and you’d spend a dollar for a long, luxurious smoke.

How long has it been since the largest of good hand rolled cigars, were a dollar?

Or a huge hand made pipe, less than $30?

As they said long ago, smoke em’ if you got em’

Topped with coconut.? A long time favorite.

I haven't smoked this for a few weeks, this must be a sign to light up a bowl later tonight.

Nice write up as usual @Briar Lee , I love the optimism in your posts .
The pricing of bulk stokkebye blends makes me feel that they respect their customers, in that they could put it all in tins and charge twice as much per ounce - and it would still be good value.
Although if we keep mentioning it maybe they will up the price a little, so I'll stop here.

The pouch/bag note of this one made me ball up a little of that succulent Flake and chew on it when I first got it.. Haven't done that again

Best bulk tobacco on the market, IMHO. Probably better than most tinned tobacco also!

PS makes some of the best bulk. I’m a big fan of the twist

Yes a Virginia coconut cavendish. I like it stacked with a flake of LNF and twisted together. By themself, Both are ok, but together their flavor is much better IMO.

I've got around 3 oz that should be arriving in the mail today with 7 years of aging on it. Sounds very tasty can't wait to give it a try.

Twist is good stuff but I prefer LNF or LBF over it.

 

[tschiraldi]

LTF is one of my staples. An every day smoke for me. Enjoying a bowl as I type this.

Very nice blend, I like the sweetness. @gamzultovah wrote a nice thread on stoving this blend and was nice enough to give me a jar. Very,very good.

Oh yes one of my favorites. It is so elegant in appearance and pouch note that you feel guilty to smoke it A true nirvana blend for me personally. Love it.

Hmmm. Did someone forget to mention Frosty Mint?

I remember you talking about "Cosmic Flake" in a different thread. In my last order I got 4oz LTF and 4oz LNF and layered them up in a jar for a nice rest.
