Capstan Blue Flake
Peterson Flake
Peterson Irish Flake
Peterson Navy Rolls.
All of the above are available and easy to purchase. I could give you a much longer list but those are all hard to get.
The Peterson Flake and Navy Rolls were both Dunhill blends when they were still making tobacco.

Have some Irish Flake in the way , yes lots of good quality leaf w/ Peterson , thanks

Peterson tobacco ages really well. Their University Flake is also a good one I forgot to mention. It is also easy to find and the Plum topping gives it a flavor that is pretty different from most blends. It has it'd own unique flavors plus it has some nicotine to it. If you can find the right pipe(a group 4-5) and can fit a couple of flakes in it, you get a consistent smoke every time. If you are not into fold and stuff, I highly recommend trying a cube cut. The cube cut is easier to smoke in the beginning. I used to do it all the time and then I finally figured out a consistent fold and stuff. That only took a decade or so.
