507C is my personal favorite Virginia! I bought 3 pounds of it when I got wind that it was going away, so I should be well set on it for a good decade or two, though apparently Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake is the same blend just with a little different cut so it'll still be around in some capacity. Personally I always thought Luxury Navy Flake was a little different, but who am I to argue with the guy who makes the stuff?puffy
I hate to argue about things like this but here's what I experience whenever I smoke any of Peter Stokkeby big 3, namely Luxury Navy Flake, Luxury Twist Flake or even Luxury Bulls Eye Flake. In short I cant stand them. To me they are all very rough, bitey and I cant bring myself to enjoy them. I got a few pounds of those laying around that are 8 or 9 years old and try them from time to time and its the same, a bad time. I don't believe they are the same, people can say what they want. 507C = Good smoke to me. The Stokkebye sets my mouth on fire and that goes for Evening flake as well. At the least they case it with something that doesn't agree with me. It just tastes cheap and bad to me. For those who love it and there are many, god bless you but I cant do those they just don't work with me.

That pipe is gorgeous!
Thank you, I couldn’t find a Dunhill Large Billiard that flipped the bill for what I wanted and asked Abe to render his own interpretation of one for me and this was that result.
He does fantastic work. Still searching for an LB/LBS or ODA but darn they’re hard to find in good shape.
