Top 5 Flake Tobaccos

[lordofthepiperings]

I've only tried Peterson's University Flake, but I enjoyed that one a lot. Love the change up in loading the pipe and how it burns. I plan on getting MacB's Vanilla Cream Flake eventually. Might throw some other flakes in the TAD orders to come.

Only flake tobacco I tried so far is Mc barens vanilla flake..it is good..I like the way it burns. I will be trying different blends for sure on my next TAD order.

[johnnyxpipe]

My top 5 Flakes would be

1. SG FVF

2. Lancer's Slices

3. PS Navy Flake

4. Peterson Irish Flake

5. Penzance
Although I break them up and rub them out 99% of the time because I don't find much of an advantage to the fold and stuff method and have a real hard time getting the fold and stuff method to smoke well.

Mac B Vanilla Cream

Mac B Old Dark Fired

Mac B Mixture Flakes

Orlik Golden Sliced

I only have a top 1, because there's only one flake tobacco I like so far:
PS Luxery Bullseye Flake

 

[cigrmaster]

If I have to choose only 5 they currently would be:
F&T Cut Virginia Plug

Escudo

Solani 633

Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake

John Aylesbury Luxury Flake
I have another dozen or so in the rotation, and honestly enjoy them equally.

 

[smokeystover]

Escudo

SG best Brown

F&T Cut Virginia Plug

Solani 656

Solani 633

 

[taerin]

I just tried my tin of Orlik Golden Sliced which I did not care for, but after 4 months of aging in a Ball jar, I really love it. The perique was a bit too harsh for me until it mellowed out some. Now my top favorites are for flakes:
PS Luxery Bullseye Flake

Orlik Golden Sliced (Aged only)
I like to fold and stuff both kinds, keeps them burning perfectly. I will have to buy another tin of Orlik Golden Sliced so I can age it before I run out of this one. My favorite tobacco right now has to be Moontrance, second only to Virginia Flakes. I may have to trade off my English tobacco if I continue to loose my desire for them.
