It came at the perfect moisture for me, I like tobacco a little on the dryer side, and this was just right . It has the same pleasant sweet taste as P.S. Luxury Twist flake with the added flavor of the perique. Another one of my favorites!

One of my favorite go to blends. Rich and robust flavor with a smooth cool burn. And it satisfies on a daily basis without crushing your wallet.

This is an all-time favorite

Oct 04, 2021

I have ordered this many times, 8 oz. or a pound at a time. It is obviously a favorite. It has good strength but is mild, no bite, lights and stays lit easily. I’ve tried other navy flakes and prefer this one. Every pipe smoker who wants an introduction to navy flakes or mild VaPers ought to try this.

Sep 09, 2021

This is interesting, when I first purchased it, I didn't care for it, and it stayed in my cellars for about 8 or more years. Then when I opened it up after many years, I saw that it turned from light brown to black. Now it tastes incredible. Like aged fine wine.

Always good

This is a luxury Virginia

Aug 14, 2021

This is a luxury Virginia blend, put up in flakes pressed like little candy bars of tobacco. Naturally cool, very sweet, and the characteristic hay like mild goodness of sweet golden Virginias. Get your tamper ready, as this stuff will need several tampings and relights. I’ve found this good to smoke straight, but at it’s best as the top half off a bottom half of a large Danish freehand packed with peach, blackberry, or apple flavored burleys. Sherlock Holmes smoked this, when he was in the money.

Shootout LNF, LBF, Escudo.

Jul 23, 2021

Results for my three blend shootout. About a year and a half ago, I went on a buying spree and ended up with five 1.5lb boxes of Peter Stokkebye LNF, and the same for LBF. They've been in sealed jars, and I opened one of each. I put them up against a freshly opened tin of Escudo (bought at the same time as the Stokkebye). The test length was one week, with one pipe of each per day, in a pipe that favored each particular blend. It was a tough job (somebody had to do it), and I was very discriminating and tried my best to remain impartial (to my beloved Escudo). In the end, it wasn't even close, it was Luxury Navy Flake by a full length! Escudo was 2nd and LBF 3rd. Mind you, it was all aged in my cellar for the same amount of time (17 months) so the field was very level. LNF constantly out performed the other two the whole week. All three were delightful, and I'd like to do another one, with three more candidates.

A remarkable VaPer

Jul 12, 2021

I'm a huge Stokkebye fan, and I bought four 1.5lb boxes of Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake (and four 1.5lb boxes of Bullseye Flake) sixteen months ago. I put everything in one quart mason (Ball) jars, and they've been sealed the whole time. Moisture content out of the box was perfect for storage. I left out a little bit of each so I could have a benchmark (memory) of how they tasted fresh. There are a surprising amount of difference between the two blends, as well as many (unsurprisingly) similarities. Both have darkened significantly and the jar aromas are vinagary and rich, with grassy over tones. The presentation of both is supurb, full boxes of unbroken flakes (medallions), all stack up nicely. I stacked the Navy Flake vertically, two tiers in a quart jar, and stacked the Bullseye Flake horizontally, in three long stacks per jar (and a little bit around the edges to tighten things up. I've reviewed the Bullseye Flake under its review section, but it has become a lot richer and more complex. The Navy Flake is very bread like with a little bit of spice. The manufacturer states that it has a rum topping, but I'm still looking for it. It may be that it's adding to the complexity, in a condiment way (like the Perique is), which is the perfect way to add a topping (subtle and in the background). The flavor is medium, as is the strength (N content). It really is a remarkable blend, and at an attractive price. Price is not my primary concern (I buy Escudo ten tins at a time), but both the Navy and the Bullseye Flake stand on their own two feet as great and proper VaPer blends. Escudo is expensive, and is a treat now and again, the Stokkebye Navy and Bullseye Flakes do the "in between" so well, that comparing them to Escudo (in a positive way) is an honor. I will iterate that these are not a direct replacement for Escudo, they are distinctly different blends both from one another and from Escudo. Put Peter Stokkebye in your rotation, and enjoy!

Good combo

My first VaPer

Jul 02, 2021

This is the first VaPer I've ever tried and it's very enjoyable. Rubbed out enough for a bowl and initially found the tobacco to be a little too tangy, spicy, and sharp. I also noticed it tended to easily burn hot. However, the bowl eventually mellows out and becomes a simple, light, and quite delicious smoke. High nicotine content.

Mellow, sweet. This is a

Feb 26, 2021

Mellow, sweet. This is a great everyday smoke. With a note of rum and Perique.

Perfect no-nonsense vaper

Feb 22, 2021

Absolutely perfect vaper in every way. If it's in stock just do yourself a favor and buy some. Nothing complex here just a delicious sweet grass and hay with a touch of citrus.

It’s ok

Feb 20, 2021

It’s good, kinda one note, can have a cigarette smell at times, it is dependable, you’ll know what to expect.

Good all day smoke.

Feb 16, 2021

Nice tobacco. This is my back up for when the Bullseye Flake isn't on stock. The room now is pleasant with a nice "plain tobacco" flavor. With no bitter after taste. I would highly recommend it.

Really good flavor. Wasn't terribly impressed with the first bowl. 2nd bowl I let it dry out a little longer and tried the fold and stuff method. It burned much better and had much better flavor. Immediately ordered a big pouch to age in the basement in a glass jar

Smells fresh and I love this Virginia. Only draw back, it has some kind of spices to it may be because of perique. Risk - its hot :)

A pretty good smoke at a good price. May be better with some age on it as it had a slight rough edge when smoked fresh.

Honey Biscuits

This smoke has a soft honey-biscuit opening, fresh-cut hay. Deepens to spicy clove or allspice like shades toward the last 1/3 of the bowl or as the heat rises. Puff gently.

Whether you rub it out, age it or just stuff it in your pipe you will not be disappointment with this Nave Flake. Price is right on.

My go to VaPer. Rubs out perfectly, it tastes really good, and the room note is very pleasing to me. It will bite if you’re not careful!

My go-to

Aug 18, 2020

Great flue-cured Virginia with just the right touch of perique for a little kick and a great flavor. I purchase other blends often for the last few years for comparison but always come back to this one. This is a milder smoke than the English blends I enjoy, the perique being milder than latakia. An all day smoke.

Great Pipe Tobacco

Delicious, rich and aromatic full body tobacco, and excellent service from pipes & cigars dot com; currently deployed to the Middle East, and they delivered my order very quickly. Five star experience all the way.

My current favorite blend!

Jul 20, 2020

Love it!

Fantastic tobacco, well worth trying

Jun 24, 2020

Break it up (and it breaks up into long(ish) little pieces), and stuff the pipe and it will smoke slow, smooth, not hot and not need to be lit more than once. It has a sort of spiciness at first, like nutmeg or something like that, then after a few minutes it gets more mellow and has a very slight sweet aftertaste and is really quite nice. The smoke shouldn't bother anyone and smells inoffensive and actually doesn't last too long, so it shouldn't bother non-smokers too much. I can fill my churchwarden with this about three-quarters of the bowl and it will last me at least 30 minutes as I sit on the stoop in the very early morning before the sun comes out and it's still a little cool and there's no breeze yet. A mug of coffee next to me on the step and that 30+ minutes is pure heaven. I listen to the mocking birds as they're waking *after* I've already been up and walked myself and my dog our half mile, heh heh. This stuff *does* have a nicotene(sp?) kick to it if you puff it heavily real fast, so be careful...head buzz city!

Really nice smoke! No fancy flavors, just smooth smoking, wonderful room note, a little sweet, a little spice, maybe. I will have to stock up on this. So glad I tried it.

Wonderful

Apr 13, 2020

This is my perfect flake. Perfect moisture, perfect light, perfect taste. I love that the light navy rum topping doesn't compromise the richness of the Virginia or Perique but compliments it and gives it a nuance that is not easily indescribable. I highly reccomend this to all the Navy Flake, and VaPer aficionados out there.

masterpiece

Apr 07, 2020

excellent warm, sweet, rich Virginia complimented by some nice perique, bringing it up in profile just a bit, not too strong at all. Best use of perique I've ever tasted. truly unique. Virginia is some of the best and most versatile tobacco there is.

Fine quality tobacco but weak flakes

Nov 07, 2019

Quality tobacco, don't over dry it though it will burn hot on you if you do. The flakes are extremely fragile and will shred upon picking it out of the bag. People who enjoy cigs every now and then can roll this as well.

My absolute favorite, I first tried this tobacco from a B&M that had called it 'Sailors Flake' I fell in love after the true light, but was met with a problem because this B&M was three states away from where I live. Thankfully PS has a unique size to their cut and I quickly narrowed it down. I can't imagine running out

I've enjoyed it for years .It is my go to daily smoke

Darn good

Apr 08, 2019

As I branch out from things I think I would like to things I've never had, a friend of mine gave me about a half oz of this blend the other day. It's my first flake type tobacco as well as my first va/per (having va/ber and stright va in the past). I used my va pipe, and The first thing off the bat I noticed is the peppery note hit me a little hard as I've never had it before, but it wasnt unpleasant. The delicate grassy/ hey like flavor is what I noticed next, with a mellow and mild sweetness that followed. Towards the end of the bowl it gets a little peppery again, with a deeper sweetness. If you go a little fast and get it a little hot, some pleasant barnyard flavor comes thru I do not detect much in the rum or other flavors it may have, but none the less it's a very good smoke. As I'm learning, I tried both the fold and stuff method as well as rubbed it out, and I find that I enjoy this flake rubbed out more than just folded and stuffed. I enjoy this alot and as I'm on my last couple of flakes, I am gonna order some more and age it. I believe this one might age very well. It did bite me a little, but I think that might be a symptom of me not going slow enough and getting overly excited about the flavor rather than the tobacco itself. At its price point its definitely worth 5 stars.

Very nice with age.

Apr 08, 2019

It's great right out the bag, but it really shines with age. Buy some, put it in a jar, and enjoy it a year later.

Delicious and very affordable!!!

Mar 31, 2019

Delicious Lux. Navy Flake I purchased this tobacco to try to expand my palate. I’ve come back to the joy of the briars from a long hiatus. I started with Aromatics then entered the realms of English and Balkans. Next, I needed to find an all-purpose Blend. Sort of that all -purpose suit, blazer or sport coat. My oh my!!! I’ve found it!!!! A delicious va-per at a wonderful price!!!! Will cellar pounds of it. Thank you P.S. You’ve made my search complete.

The Good Stuff

Mar 27, 2019

This has become my go-to smoke. Smooth, with just enough Perique spice and a trace of sweet from the rum. Rubs out and packs easily, lights and stays lit. No bite. Nice full flavor. Very satisfying.

GOOD STUFF!

Mar 20, 2019

Great tobacco at a great price! My favorite pipe tobacco!!

Exclusive Smoke...

Mar 17, 2019

Real tobacco, aged and cured to perfection. I’m a lightweight to be sure, don’t care for aromatics or latakia blends. Virginia flavor and balanced strength. If I couldn’t find a Navy Flake at least this superior I might just leave smoking anything to abide in the memory of it.

Affordable and tasty

Mar 08, 2019

It's not Escudo, and it may be lightly cased, but -- it is affordable, burns well, and has a nice flavor. Very pleasant smoke, not much bite. Mellow in the beginning and finishes with a bit of pepper. Would recommend.

At first I thought it was a bit harsh, but with about six months of aging in a sealed jar, it improved greatly and is now my favorite VaPer.

Luxury + Navy = A Pleasure Cruise

Feb 02, 2019

Everything a flake should be -- with a touch or rum.

A favorite first shared by a true friend.

Jan 25, 2019

Peter Stokkebye is synonymous with quality bulk blends. Two of the most recognizable being Luxury Bulls Eye Flake and this one, Luxury Navy Flake. Pretty much any PS blend that starts with “Luxury” is going to be good, lol. This one is a straight up Virginia/Perique blend (a VA/Per) and man, is it a good one. It's a little more full flavored than the Bulls Eye coins because Navy Flake lacks the Cavendish. This is a good VA/Per for beginners if not Bulls Eye Flake. It's sort of a watermark for VA/Per flakes, actually. If you like it and want something stronger I'd recommend Escudo. But with this being readily available and sold in bulk at bargain prices, you'd be hard pressed to find a better VA/Per for an all-day favorite. The flakes are thin and fold-and-stuff well. But they can also be thoroughly rubbed into a great ribbon too. Either way it is a pleasant smoke every time. In fact, the consistency of these flakes is remarkable. Considering the quantities Peter Stokkebye must be producing to meet the demands, it truly consistent in availability, price, flavor, and moisture...all of which are perfect every time. If there was a downside to Luxury Navy Flake it may be that most smokers might expect a “Navy” flake to include a rum flavoring, which I've never tasted in this. I'm sure this tobacco has a special recipe of flavors, but it taste so natural to me I don't care what it is. I've heard it compared to Erik Stokkebye's 4th Generation 1931 which I personally have not tried (yet). It is also similar to Comoy's Cask No. 4. But, for the aforementioned reasons, most reviewers compare others to this by saying why not just get Luxury Navy Flake? It's a standard in our hobby and a personal favorite of mine. Enjoy.

I thought I was an aromatic guy!

Oct 11, 2018

I've only been smoking for around 6 months now and thought I would only like aromatic tobaccos. But I found out that the flavors I was trying to get out of aro-tobaccos were just to chemically harsh. The flavors of the tobaccos didn't match up with the tin note. But I'm sold now on VaPer and on this suff in particular. The tin note smell like loose-leaf black tea, cut grass, hay with a touch of dark fruit. The rim note to me has a coconut/vanilla smell to it and the room note is a smoky dark fruit smell. Don't over pack your pipe and sip it and you have no tongue bite.

Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake

Aug 16, 2018

Very smooth with little or no bite. Great and lasting after taste

I might be missing something

Jul 25, 2018

I bought a couple of ounces of this to try as I continue to explore va/per flakes. It's gotten better with a month or so of age in the jar, but I don't know if this is for me. To me the flavor is very one dimensional. You can taste the rum and the grassy notes but it ends there. Maybe I'm missing something, and maybe I'll like it more with time, but for now this isn't my thing. I'll stick with Luxury Bullseye for my flake fix, but I'll continue to revisit this from time to time with different pipes and different techniques. Try it, obviously lots of people like this, but if you're looking for a complex smoke like I usually am (I never smoke more than two bowls a day, a pipe is a treat for me) at the end of the day, this probably isn't it.

Not quite what I expected.

Jun 14, 2018

Not quite what I expected. Found it slightly biting. Not the worst by far.

Updated Review with 3 months of age (Musty Hay to Sweet Grass)

May 17, 2018

Purchased and smoked upon arrival and got a musty, hay taste (nothing to write home about). Jarred and set aside for 3 months, then, tried again (definitely a good smoke after aging awhile). No More Hay, but, a sweet grassy taste, that I rate between Bullseye and Virginia Slice... Not overly sweet nor too grassy taste, just about right, and easily an all day smoke. I'll be keeping this in rotation. If only 3 months made such a difference, I can't wait to see what a year does for it..

Always a great smoke.

The Best Bulk Va-Per Flake on Earth

Apr 07, 2018

Let me start by saying that I've been a fan of Va-Pers for many years. Escudo has been my go-to for 10+ years, but when you smoke every day, that's a costly option. Stokkebye's Luxury Navy Flake is absolutely the BEST bulk Va-Per flake on the market, hands down. The flavor takes a moment to get going, but once you get to your first tamp, it hits you, and you'll want to buy pounds and pounds. Very good Virginias and Perique, and I've seen some reviews state that the "flavorings" are too much for them. I can't stand aromatics. Hate 'em. This is not even close to an aro blend, folks. My palate detects 0 flavorings whatsoever. Just a solid, mild-to-medium bodied flavor, with a nice aroma (especially the "rim note", meaning the wafting smoke that's leaving the top of the bowl as you smoke it), and it burns down to a nice, mottled grey ash. If you enjoy good Virginias and Perique - there is simply no better option at this price point...and I cellar pounds of this stuff just in case any legalities/leaf shortages arise. All day, every day smoke. Delicious!

never grows old

Apr 06, 2018

I have gravitated or prob graduated to This flake which I understand is a va-per. I love how slow it burns but it can bite you if you forget what your smoking. Al day keeper

A good flake

Mar 28, 2018

One of my regular rotation. The closest I come to smoking sn aromatic. By no means an unnoticeable flavor, best suited to the fold and stuff method with slow sipping. Rubbing this out will produce an overbearing flavor to my taste. Comparable to Orlik Golden Flake with different flavorings.

Very Good Bulk Va/Per

Mar 28, 2018

I’ve been smoking Peter Stokkebye’s Luxury Bullseye Flake pretty much side-by-side with this Stokkebye’s Luxury Navy Flake. The Navy flake is very similar to the Bullseye flake, as they are both Va/Pers. The main differences are that the Bullseye flakes have black cavendish, and they are cut into coins. The Navy flakes, as with the Bullseye flakes, have excellent burn characteristics, a great deal of flavor and balance between the Virginias and the Perique, and provide long smokes in the right pipe. The Navy flakes smoked well for me in a variety of pipes, but were best in my Rattray’s “Judge” poker and my “tulip” meerschaum carved by H. Ege. These pipes both have deep and relatively narrow chambers, which work very well with flake tobaccos. I use the “fold & stuff” method to load my pipe with this blend, but it smokes and tastes great prepared in other ways, too. Try stuffing, rubbing out the flakes, or even chopping them up, and see which way works best for you. This is a very good blend at a very good price. I guess all that is left for me to do is try Stokkebye’s Luxury Twist next! Highly recommended!

A Good Quality Smoke but...

Mar 13, 2018

A decent quality tobacco. Smokes well burning down to a fine ash. Rubs up well. But, too heavy on the flavorings for me. Also contains perique which I was unaware of when I purchased. Perique causes me to have headaches and nightmares. This may be congenital condition. I remember my father (a life long pipe smoker too) having the same reaction to tobaccos with perique. I am still looking for a replacement for my first love - Troost Special Flake in the tin.

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake

Mar 04, 2018

A great tobacco. A very mellow VaPer in which the Perique is not overpowering like in too many other blends. The moisture level is just right. It’s easy to rub out and there are no packing, lighting or burning problems. The smoke is cool and dry. This tobacco won’t bite. It burns down nicely right to the bottom of the bowl. It has the right amount of nicotine that I personally desire. Finally, the 24 ounce box deal from P&C is a great value for such an excellent tobacco. It has become my all-day smoke.

PS Luxury Navy Flake!

Feb 10, 2018

Found this back in the early 80s. Still luv it. Grassy, some fruit notes, a little hay as they say. Smooth smoke.

Hay, Hay, Hay

Feb 10, 2018

Somewhat a grassy taste, but, mostly hay...If you've ever baled/worked in hay, then, you know exactly what to expect here...For those of you that haven't, think dry & musty and you've got it

Stokkebye did it right with this one...

Jan 10, 2018

I first bought this flake because of value. After more then a few pounds of it however, its gone on to find a permanent place in my stash as well as my heart. Smokes perfectly with a bit of air time and the old fold and stuff technique in a nice tall narrow bored pipe. Smoke it slowly to really make the dark sweetness come out, or speed it up abit to get the perique singing. Will always love this blend.

My once per day luxury!

My favorite after dinner smoke for many years. (I used to live in Denmark where they have (had?) fabulous pipe and tobacco stores!)

A great everyday! Over time, tastier ...

New to flakes

Nov 11, 2017

Even though I've smoked a pipe for 55 years I can't recall smoking a flake tobacco before. It was a pleasurable smoke so much so that I ordered 2 more in my last order. For those who like to taste the tobacco this is the one, a slight hint of rum can be detected, room note for me was good and just the right amount of nicotine.

PS Navy Flake

Nov 05, 2017

I haven't smoked this particular batch. I bought it to age for a year or more but have smoked a lot of it in the past. I've never had a reason to try a better VaPer. It has a good aroma, good balance of Virginia Vs Perique (for my taste), burns good with no bite once you learn how to load and pack it. The price is hard to beat.

What a difference a day makes.

Nov 01, 2017

Bought a few ounces about 6-8months ago, but it didn't really appeal to me so I jarred it and put it away. Recently opened it up and tried it again. Wow, this stuff is really smooth. No bite and a sweet taste that lasts thru the whole bowl. IMHO, just the right amount of Perique. No I buy it by the pound.

I really enjoyed this PS

Oct 24, 2017

I really enjoyed this PS 400 LNF.It has become part of my daily rotation.Having tried other navy blends, I was rather surprised by the lack of bite. I enjoy in a large billiard, several times a day.

New Everyday Smoke

Oct 19, 2017

This is going to be my daily smoke I believe. It has everything I love, and nothing I hate. My palate is not refined enough to tell you what I taste, but as a VAPer fan, I would advise try it. It calls to my Marine Heritage I guess lol.

PS Luxury Navy Flake.

Oct 15, 2017

Always a favorite of mine for the Fall.

Excellent Navy Flake

Oct 03, 2017

I like a good esoteric English, and a fine Navy flake, and I don't refuse a gimme. This is a complex, enjoyable baccy, that I look forward to. It's always interesting,and easy to get lost in. I would be satisfied to find an airtight barrel of it on that deserted island, after the fact.

Love it

Sep 11, 2017

Plenty. I use it for blending. Lots of fun. The flake is well balanced. Very good.

Not my “cup of tea.”

Sep 10, 2017

I have had some good experiences with Navy type tobacco, but this one is nowhere near what I had in mind. Mind you, I’m a beginner so I naturally prefer more aromatic flavors. I’d say get an ounce and give it a try first.

Interchangeable

Sep 06, 2017

For those who are fans of Virginia flake cut pipe tobacco, you couldn't possibly go wrong with either of these two blends. There's only a slight difference in the aroma out of the pouch, with the Luxury Navy Flake being a bit sweeter. So get 'em both. If one's out of stock, order the other with no qualms.

Amazing

Jul 30, 2017

Ordered 1 oz of this to try and absolutely love it. It is great for a morning pipe. I will have to order more as I don't think this stuff will last me long.

Great VaPer Blend!

Jul 21, 2017

I love VaPer blends! This is right up there as an excellent Vaper Blend!! You will not be disappointed with this tobacco!

Great value for a great smoke

Jan 03, 2017

I've bought this a few times and haven't been disappointed. Nice cool smoke with a mild but robust flavor. Plus, the smoke keeps the CIA from reading my thoughts.

The best navy flake

Nov 05, 2016

I like this navy flake over others I've tried. Good all day smoke.

Good but Even Better With Age

Oct 25, 2016

Good smoke but does even better with some age. The flavors and tone will deepen nicely.

A Nice Flake

Oct 21, 2016

Stokkebye Luxury Navy flake is quite mild - I could use a bit more flavor. A good smoke, though.

it's great don't tell anyone

Oct 01, 2016

Easy to pack Any day tabacco

A very delightful smoke.

Sep 01, 2016

My very first try at a flake tobacco, I found that I just love this. Being primarily an aromatic smoker this one has become my favorite counterpoint. Mine arrived with near ideal moisture content and is very attractive to look at and show other people. Half the fun and appeal is in preparing this tobacco, and I by far find the best flavor by tearing it into 1-centimeter lengths and rubbing it out thoroughly. It expands and swells like mad upon first light, followed by wonderful and differing sweetnesses that flow and ebb if I sip it just right. For me the amount of perique is perfect, and the amount of smoke is impressive, rich, thick. This tobacco is an interactive experience, and to say it again, just delightful.

Great from start to finish.

Jul 22, 2016

Not bad. Not my first choice but a good bulk for sure. Going to try and age it and see if it improves.

press flake

Jun 30, 2016

while burning a little hotter than I like, This slow burning, easy to pack flake is the right one for me. It;s on the spicy side but still has the Virginia side that keeps it familiar in the European flavors.

A Gem Hidden in Plain Sight

Jun 06, 2016

Peter Stokkebye’s Luxury Navy Flake (LNF) is a Virginia / Perique mixture in flake form. The tobacco is high quality, the topping is subtle and unobtrusive, and the balance of the VA to the Perique is gentle. It’s not a perique bomb. The incredibly low price also makes this lovely blend worth trying. Some say that LNF gets bitey, but if you take it easy you shouldn’t have a problem. Some use the fold and stuff method with it, but I rub it out and smoke it slow as I find that this works best for me. So, if you like VaPers, give this a try. It won’t blast your nose with spice, and will reward a patient smoker with an easygoing quality pipe session.

A satisfying smoke

May 24, 2016

What can I say about this Flake that hasn't been already said. I enjoy this quite a bit. It doesn't matter which way I prepare it it is always a good enjoyable smoke. If I had to have only 1 vaper this would be it.

Keep it in stock.

Apr 26, 2016

Light and clean, this is my all day go to smoke.

A bargain for a high quality Flake

Apr 25, 2016

A wonderful bargain for Flake lovers new and experienced. A rich, medium strength Flake that is sure to please fresh from delivery or aged. I just cannot get enough of smoking this as my everyday, go to tobacco.

Very good va-per.

Apr 13, 2016

Tried this out of curiosity after reading the reviews. Despite what I read, it has quite a lot of "vitamin N." Personally, I have to be careful about how often and when I smoke it. Having said that, it has a nice, pleasant, not to sweet taste.I don't detect the advertised rum but my palette may not be that sophisticated. The bottom line is that I enjoy it as an occasional break between my Balkans and English. The price, and the fact that you can buy in bulk is also attractive to me.

A bargain for a wonderful Navy Flake.

Mar 25, 2016

By far, this is one of the better Flake tobacco for the price that I have ever tried. No bite, consistent burn even without drying, and a rich and complex flavor combination make for a wonderful experience. I will buy this again, what a bargain!

Great tobacco very affordable

Feb 15, 2016

While on a kick of reading nautical stories, I decided to sample a bunch of navy flakes (I only sampled those available in bulk). Did this stand head and shoulders above the rest? No, but it was at least as good as any navy flake I tried, some much more expensive. Nice light everyday smoke, great price

Very enjoyable , priced to please. Thank you Pipes and Cigars for providing great products and customer service.

A must for the cellar

Jan 23, 2016

Interesting flavors and easy smoking make this a fine afternoon tobacco.The flakes can be a bit tricky trying to fold and stuff, so I will just keep rubbing them out first. Wife says the room note remind her of toasted marshmellos, so I'm safe there,LoL

can't beat it.

Jan 21, 2016

This is the tobacco that opened my eyes to how pleasurable pipe smoking can really be. Ever since I've been hooked on it. I would recommend to any smoker especially beginners that only have a couple buck in there pocket.

The simple things in life.

Dec 26, 2015

The simple things in life, a very pleasant smoke, a hot cup of Folgers coffee, and the companionship of my loving dog.No better way to spend a holiday. This tobacco definitely provides the pleasant smoke. Thanks P&C for the great service during the holiday rush. To all, I wish a great smoke and good night.

Very pleasant smoke

Dec 13, 2015

I was given this tobacco by a friend. At the time, I was not fond of flake. It sat in a plastic bag for months before I tried it. I am now sorry I waited so long. It is delightful. I have learned to roll and fold as a result. It is slightly sweet and has a nice room note. It takes a little effort to get it going, but patience is rewarded. Very pleasant and relaxing. I could smoke this all day w/o getting tired of it. Absolutely no bite whatsoever. I can"t say enough good things about this one. I will buy more and I recommend it.

Dec 04, 2015

This is one great smoke. I prerfer the fold and stuff method and had no issues relighting.

Orlik clone???

Nov 22, 2015

If you like Orlik golden sliced then this is for you! This stuff has that wonderful Virginia/apricot taste with a fabulous perique/pepper exhale. I love Orlik with all my heart but Im gonna start buying this instead. Being able to buy in bulk is just to good of a deal to pass up. Side by side comparison I swear I cant tell the difference.

fine but not great

Oct 25, 2015

It is a fine smoke but I don't find it to be earth shaking. A nice everyday blend. A good start to the day before moving on to bigger and better blends.

Smooth

Navy flake is smooth, straight forward and has a nice earthy fragrance. I like it as a blender.

PS Lux Navy Flake,,, a Staple in any Cellar

Sep 25, 2015

My wife loves it when I light up a bowl of PS Lux Navy Flake, She picks up an aroma of toasted mashmellos. I get to smoke a really good tobacco without having to go outside. This blend is easy to light and the flavors stay all the way to the fine ash at the bottom.

Peter Stokkebye - Luxury Navy Flake

Sep 11, 2015

Nice, inexpensive flake. Very good VaPer. I would prefer a little additional Perique, but that's me.

Not Bad for Bulk

Sep 05, 2015

Smoked out of a dedicated handmade briar, meerschaum and cob. Overall a good introductory tobacco for those interested in trying a VaPer style blend. The perique isn't too heavy so you won't have to worry about too much nicotene, the virginias are pretty young in the sense that they have a very hay like taste too them, but don't bite much if you pace yourself. I'd say with some aging this would be a pretty excellent tobacco. You don't really taste the rum until you get to the bottom 8th of the bowl then it takes on a butterd rum sauce note which leaves you longing for more. To me its a great all day smoke since I can't afford to puff Escudo all the time (much to my chagrin). The price alone is worth the plunge.

You like great values and even greater baccy?

Sep 03, 2015

Ok I'm a English smoker 1st off, however a buddy kept raving about this flake. I've had PS bullseye before and wasn't taken back by any means. But I received a sample of this flake and thought why not give it a shot. The flake itself is gorgeous in appearance, Browns and gold veins. Great light sweet aroma. Right out of the pouch I filled my trusty cob. I did rub it out prior. Well, the flake burned excellent. Nuances of pure tobacco and light sweet flavor on the retrohale. Burned clean and pure to a white ash. This blend is by no means the holy grail but it is a solid smoke. I smoked it all summer because it is so consistent. A good medium bodied smoke everytime. You know what you get with this one. Now let me not forget another selling point, the price. For a flake of this quality it's the greatest baccy value going today. I stocked my cellar.

A Sublime Flake in Every Respect

Aug 23, 2015

This is an excellent natural type smoke. Others claim that its a virginia / perique blend, and I agree that it must be based on that. This is pretty "full" for Stokkebye: their products lean towards the mild side IMO. Be that as it may, I find it to be a superb smoke, just full enough to be interesting, but it's not in the tongue-bite danger zone. Great flavor here, it has that raisin-like sweetness of the virginia, the peppery perique, and I'm not sure if it might contain a little burley too, but this is a great mix. This would be a good introduction to virginia flakes and other straight tobacco types due to its slightly toned-down nature. Great stuff!

not sure yet

Aug 23, 2015

Still not sure about this one yet, going to give it some cellar time and see how it does.

Adequate Navy Flake but watch the Bite!

Aug 14, 2015

This navy flake is adequate and what you expect as far as flavor and burns well…but I tend to dry portions out for a day or so as it lessens the bite this flake has.

Great price great service

My title says it all.

Customer Testimonials

Maybe it's just my tastebuds, but I found Stokkebye's Navy Flake to be WAY better than other flakes I have tried. Considering the price point on this flake per ounce, it is also a no-brainer to buy this flake. Quality flake with a lower price! Also, after being stored for about 6-12 months it becomes really good! Stock up as much as you can. I will.

BW of Hixson, TN

Half the fun for me is working with the flake. Fold and stuff, rub, its all part of the experience. I found this sweet, sort of grassy. Enjoyable move away from aromatics and into the larger world. Affordable and delicious.

JB of lakeside, IA

Just tried this tobacco for the first time. If you like Dunhill Flake or Orlik Golden Sliced, this is a must try. Very nice example of Navy Flake.

CM of Commerce City, CO

I really like this flake. Similar to Orelik Golden Flake, but not identical. A good price for a good navy flake.

JW of Hazelton, ID

Great

MS of Chicago, IL

The description is spot on. I've tried a few other navy flakes. Most didn't impress me. There are a few that were pretty good, but this one really pleased. Very smooth with just a little sweetness. Burns great right from the start with minimal relights. Tastes high end, but has a budget price. Great for a regular smoke if you want a break from aromatics, but still want a touch of flavor. Highly recommended, even if you've felt 'meh' about navy flakes before.

KR of Glen Burnie, MD

Great stuff! I got a sample of this from a fellow pipe smoker and I enjoyed it so much that I bought 5 oz of it. Nice and smooth with a great taste and aroma. I'll have to order more to fill up my jar! Ha! :)

BW of Pomona, CA

I was looking for a bulk flake with quality blend at a reasonable price. This flake will be re-ordered in much larger quantity than the first 4oz. I'm working on. Very tasty, smooth burning, long lasting.

MW of Ocala, FL

This is a REALLY good Va/Per in my opinion and priced in a way that you can stock up on enough for your cellar too, I think it has a very very light, almost undetectable rum casing that gives it enough sweetness to balance out the tiny bite some may experience from the small amount of Perique that's present here, I would definitely and already have ordered more

SR of Cape Coral, FL

Smooth smoking. May make this my everyday smoke.

MP of Tempe, AZ

This blend is really good. This was my first flake ever and is still my favorite. The flavors are mellow, delicious and consistent to the bottom.The only con to this is if you're not careful it can flair up and cause some tongue bight.

BS of Riverdale, MI

This is a tasty Vaper. It is a regular in my rotation. I usually use the fold and stuff packing of this in my dedicated pipe for Vaper, my Peterson flame grain 999. Nice smoke. This pipe and the flake are meant for each other.

SW of Tallahassee, FL

I am a big fan of this blend. Been smoking it a long time. Glad I found P&C, their prices and service is great. This is not a complex blend but when smoked slowly the flavor grows and stays right to the bottom of the bowl. I like the aroma. Occasionally add a little latakia or burly or both to it. Its a fun blend to experiment with. It's always my "last bowl of the day" . Being a flake it it can be smoked outside in the Oklahoma wind without burning too fast.

GB of Lawton, OK

Being my first Navy Flake, I enjoy it. Nice mellow flavor, burns easy, loads nice.
