What's your Favorite "Navy"?

[bluegrassbrian]

Salty Dogs.

For something just a LITTLE bit different but within that navy category I've enjoyed GLP Navigator.

+1 for MB Navy Flake

 

[Annaresti Red]

+ More for Salty Dogs. If your description is what you want its right on. Its also absolutely incredible to take a thin slice or two, rub out and put with your favorite vaper. It might be a little too desert like straight... YMMV

I'll give that a try.

Gawith and Hoggarth Rum Flake

 

[Annaresti Red]

Black Frigate is solid if you don't mind a touch of lat

I don't,

Gawith and Hoggarth Rum Flake

Is there a review that you agree with you can share? That I can get in bulk.

What about it moves it a bit out of the norm? Sounds nice.

The addition of dark fired Ky adds that extra layer of complexity and savoriness.

If you're looking for Virginia, rum, and licorice flavors I'd highly recommend giving Gawith Hoggarth's Jamaican Flake (previously known as Rum Flake) a try. That's it's flavor profile in a nutshell. Just smoke it slowly the first couple times you try it, since opinions vary on it's nicotine content but it had a butt kickingly high amount of vitamin N to me.

My favorite "Navy" is Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls. A bit pricey and not always available but excellent.

I've also heard good things about:

1. McClelland - Matured Virginia: Navy Cavendish
2. Salty Dogs
3. Blockade Runner (c&d)
4. Capstan (blue?)
5. Jupiter (though not a Navy)

honestly I kind of found Capstan to be one of the dullest and most boring tobaccos I've smoked. Gave away the one tin of it I've ever had. My honest first thought after smoking a few bowls of it was "they're so lucky Tolkien loved this stuff, otherwise it be another forgotten blend". Just my opinion but before trying it I didn't know I could be bored by a pipe tobacco.

The only one I have tried is the excellent Windjammer!

 

[vosBghos]

Black Frigate is solid if you don't mind a touch of lat

was gonna say the SG navy Has Lat too

 

[Annaresti Red]

Hello;

I am going to buy a Windjammer and Salty Dogs, but if anyone has a few bowls of Macbarren, SG Navy, and/or anything else mentioned, please send me a pm. Like 10 grams or less, in case i don't like it. Happy to reimburse shipping costs, I also make little trinkets in thanks (magnets and such) for fellow pipers.

I'm surprised it took so long for that answer.

 

[Kobold]

Redburn

 

[autumnfog]

Easy, Capstan Blue.
An amazing flake with a long history.
The classic tin art is also something I like.

 

[Oddball]

Sam Gawith Navy Flake. Micro hints of Latakia and Rum accent quality SG Virginias.

For the rum and/or molasses:

F&T Special Brown Flake
C&D Blockade Runner
C&D Redburn (rum & molasses, but is primarily burley)
GLP Windjammer
Dan Salty Dogs

I have a question for everyone. Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls is a Navy blend? Or the name "Navy" in the tin used for marketing reasons?

Also, what exactly is "Navy" blend? Because everyone is confused about it.
