Thanks for the heads up Woodsroad. :lol:

Peck, 69 can run pretty hot, but it’s best enjoyed fresh with a good whisky.

I agree, 507c is great stuff. With the end of my relationship with Dunhill Flake looming, 507c is like the hot young blonde I just met at the bar. It makes the end a little easier..

I puchased another 5 pounds after sampling my 1 1/2 old jar of this very good virginia. Is it the "best" viginia available, NO, is it a very good virginia, YES. Comparable to OGS, but less citrusy.

Ash, it's on sale now, 5#/$139

Unknown.

This is a 20% off all Sutliff bulks sale that has been going on for maybe the past week.

I Like 507-C quite a bit, but I have found it to have a less agreeable room note than, say, Luxury Navy Flake. Additionally, when I ordered 8 ounces of it a while back, it came in really messy condition-- I couldn't get separate flakes out of the bag, more like a broken flake. I've seen many youtube videos, etc. to tell me my experience was an anomaly, but if you're somebody who likes flakes to be very uniform and orderly, you may not get that with 507-C.

 

[woodsroad]

Hap, it sounds like you got the bottom of the bag. All of the 507c that I've ordered came as intact flakes.

 

[haparnold]

Dan, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Like I said, I'm almost certain mine was an anomaly, but it was messy as all get-out. I wound up just cramming wads of it into mason jars.
I should note that it didn't sour me on this flake at all. I still smoke it fairly often, and always have my eye out for bulk sales so I can add more.

There you go.

I got my stash, leacha! The rest of you poor buggers can swing in the wind, pining for the fjords!

A classic line, especially "pining for the fjords!"

I'll just wait here, nailed to my perch.
