What's the Best Bulk Flakes to Cellar?

[beezer]

Good evening,
I'm down to my last two empty quart-size mason jars that need to be filled and my cellar building efforts will be finished. So I would like to poll the folks on this forum and see what your top bulk flakes are. The only requirement imposed is that it must not be available in tins.
I know there was a recent thread on one's top 5 flakes, but for the purpose of this post I'd like to see what kinds of bulk flakes folks are hoarding with the goal of sampling some and seeing whether I like them enough to top my cellar off with them.
Suggestions?

Check out McClellands and Peter Stokkebye. I ordered four ounces each of their blends last week (Virginia Perique and Luxury Bullseye Flake). They were both well recommended, talked about and reviewed on tobaccoreviews.com.

Full Virginia Flake and Old Dark Fired are at the top of my list.

My choice? Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired 1lb Box! Have one sitting in front of me now I have to jar up...

Love Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake and highly recommend.

The bulk flakes I stock are:
Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake, Full Virginia Flake, St James Flake

Solani Silver Flake, it comes in tins but they are not vacuum sealed, need to be jarred upon receipt.

Wessex Gold Brick, they come in plugs but are just wrapped in cellophane so they need to be jarred.

Esoterica Stonehaven

AS a Virginia lover, I agree with the suggestion on Full Virginia Flake and Best Brown. If not flake, I cellar McClelland's #5100, red kake (what else would one expect from me?).

McClellands 2015 and Stokkebyes Navy Flake. Get about 2 to 3 years of age and they are really something.

+1 weezell ... some of this one is going into the Box Pass:

All of the above, plus SG/Medium Virginia Flake.

If round coins count, then Newminster 403 Superior Round Slices.

What flake is not good to cellar?! 8O

Good suggestions. Though ODF is relatively new and I don't know if anyone can say for sure how well it will age, and it is available in tins. The ready rubbed version however is only available in bulk as far as I know. Either way +1 for either version and 2015 though that is a broken flake.

The only flake I have smoked for any length of time is the Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake. It's only been somewhere around 2 years but I have some that sat at the bottom as I added new ones. The flakes are tasty both out of the bag and also with some age. I feel like they are a great value for the money and will always be a part of my VA rotation. I don't know if I would consider them the best flake but they meet your criteria and are a solid VA Flake candidate that is cheap and easy to find.
