Have you tried or had the Virginia Golden Flake? From a little reading I’ve done, this is suppose to be one of their finest…

Yes, it's very good. I have a couple of tins put back. If you want something try the Virginia Flake in the 50gr. tin. It's a touch stronger. IMHO.

Every country has different labelling requirements, even within Europe so we have to do labels specifically for each country. And then regulations change or the labels have to rotate.

Hi, I understand that countries have different requirements. My question was, if you still make these same labels?

I should of elaborated better, asking if you still make them for any country.

Thanks

I know this is chump change to most of you guys and gals. Some of your cellars are beyond impressive. But, I just made my largest ever tobacco-only purchase at just under $200. Almost all bulk. I've only been smoking for a little over a year. But after trying a relatively small variety of tobaccos compared to most here, it became clear to me that Va/VaPer's are my gig. I ran out of PS Evening Flake and PS Luxury Navy Flake and wanted to get large amounts (to me) of each to continue smoking and carry me for the next few months or so. I also had been wanting to try Capstan Blue for quite sometime and a seller had a set of 4 tins aged 5 years for basically the same price as a fresh tin. Seemed like a no brainer to me since I'm trying to build up a bit of a cellar 🤷‍♂️

Picked up:
  • 8oz PS400 Luxury Navy Flake
  • 8oz 4th Gen Evening Flake
  • 4oz Cornell & Diehl Haunted Bookshop
  • 4oz Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz
  • 2oz PS402 Luxury Twist Flake
  • 2oz PS403 Luxury Bulls Eye Flake
  • 2oz 4th Gen Night Slice
  • 1 tin of Capstan Blue Flake (aged 5 years)
  • 1 tin of Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed (aged 5 years)
  • 1 tin of Capstan Yellow Flake (aged 5 years)
  • 1 tin of Capstan Yellow Ready Rubbed (aged 5 years)
Didn't get any pictures unfortunately, but don't think it would've been too interesting since most of it was bulk.

I also really reorganized my small cellar for the first time since I started my pipe smoking journey. I have tins (mostly just one, but some I have 2) of C&D 2023 Carolina Red Flake, C&D HB, Escudo, OGS, some 2019 tins of Wessex Brown/Red/Gold Virginia Flake, C&D Briar Fox, Davidoff Flake Medallions, Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia, SG Best Brown, and SG FVF hanging out for me to enjoy sometime in the future. For bulk, I have some 1Q, Arango Balkan Supreme, C&D Autumn Evening, Three Sails, C&D Bayou Night, and Newminster Superior Round Slices.

Starting to build up a little bit of a repertoire 😝
