Cigar Time: Caldwell Cigars Eastern Standard Midnight Express
SG Navy Flake in an IMP Meerschaum Reverse Calabash
Home from our travels finally. Winding down with some McCranies Red Flake (2008) in a Jared Coles 
2018 HH Pure Virginia in a Pete PSB X105
Dark Flake Aro in a Royal Danish 924M
Go for it. I think, you can't go wrong with this if you like burleys. I finish only 1/2 bowl, but looks like very nice.
C&D Three Friars in a Peterson 80s Army. Just finished planting some Ramps we got from the farmers market. 
Sams Flake in the Musico Set Special pot.
Borkum Riff in my new large bowl clay. Smoked all the MacBaren Royal Twist - it went down well and definitely suits the King's Clay. Took my drawing of the Neptune pub there and got a pint for it. Earned another pint for performing on stage as well!
Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. This will finish my open stash.
Starting my day by trying out Peter Stokkebye PS400 Luxury Navy Flake for the first time (with about 9 months of age on it), in my old faithful Grabow Lark.
To put it plainly, this stuff is really good! It tastes very similar to Orlik Golden Sliced, enough so that if you told me it was Orlik Golden Sliced in my pipe and I didn't know better I might be inclined to believe you. It's a nice bright grassy Virginia flake with just a whisper of Perique, and the only difference I can find between Luxury Navy Flake and Golden Sliced is that Luxury Navy Flake seems to lack that very light floral/citrus casing that Golden Sliced has. They're so similar though that I barely notice it's absence and probably wouldn't notice it all if I wasn't actively looking for it, so if you're in the market for an affordable bulk alternative to Orlik Golden Sliced or just a really pleasant new Virginia flake to sample then give Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake a try! I think you'll like it.

Good day all! Spent Saturday switching between Peterson Flake and GH Brown Flake Aromatic in a pair of similar Upshalls. BFA got the nod. Today, started with Peterson Early Morning Pipe in an Upshall P Poker. Now having a preprandial bowl of GH Ennerdale Flake in a now-dedicated Tilshead Cutty. Enjoy both, but no contest here.
Now smoking year 2019 Ascanian No. 1 in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) The Exmoor Pipe 283 chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Star of the East Flake from 2020 in a Savinelli Roma Lucite bent pot. Glad to see that my stash is aging well.
FVF in my MM Morgan. I don’t have a lot of this delicious stuff, so I only smoke it occasionally. And then I enjoy how it seasons the pipe for whatever comes next. Mm-mm!
