My favorite Virginia thus far
December 05, 2017
Product: Newminster No.400 Superior Navy Flake Bulk
Guys and gals this is a real bargain. I love it fresh or aged a bit. This is a Virginia that from first light to the last puff is creamy and in the pastry realm. It smells like a bowl of Golden Grahams cereal. I like to fold and stuff for best re... Read More
sults but rubbing out is sublime too. It does have a slight earthy quality but on the sweet side. Sometimes I get a touch of cinnamon, but overall is toasty and bready and doughy. Burns super easy. I love it! Read Less

[Tin/Bag - Very sweet Virginias. Little brown sugar and light molassis, light oven baking some very faint cinnamon rolls. A little almost smokey vanilla, and almost a cinnamon. Not much moisture, needs to 0-15 mins. A fluffy texture when rubbout ... Read More
some, crumbles easily. Very light texture. Little shoe leather after dry and rubbout. Easy for fold and stuff as well leaving a little easy kindling for the top off.]
Some slightly greener (but not green) grass, catfish in the grass on a pond image, burnt matches room note after light (I used a lighter). No golden hay. Sharper when you get it light well and hit hard, almost a fruit kind of taste/feel. Enjoyed most when sipped real tenderly with lazy, slow, retro. Got a slight hint of pine roasting on retro. Little saw dust on the floor image. Milder than Stokkebye LNF. I prefer LNF more often, but love the slightly greener qualities and mildness along with the nuances of sweetness. I think about it more than am able to smoke it, but would smoke it more if I had more for sure. Basically save it for a treat until better stocked. I look forward to it in the rotation and will need to buy pounds of it.
Flavors come out better at just a smolder, veerry slow sip, just barely enough to keep it going on the edge of burnout. Hitting hard produces no more flavor but maybe less.
Burns excellent to a fine ash, no moisture or dottle in bowl at end. ◄7.8/10✠Skulls► Read Less

n a hint of grass.
Mechanically, it rubbed out easily and packed easily. Once lit, it stayed lit to the bottom of the bowl. It smoked cool and dry with volumes of creamy, tasty smoke, and the flavour palate lasted throughout the bowl. It burned down to a fine white ash every time. The wife enjoyed the smell as well, saying it reminded her of chocolate and fruit. I did not notice any cocoa notes, but maybe I will now that I know to look for it. I will definitely buy this blend again, when I can.
I highly recommend this blend to any and all smokers, especially those who enjoy flakes and Virginia blends.
Cheers to all! Read Less

a flake, it packed and rubbed out easily to put a little kindling on top and fired right up. I only had to relight once or twice the whole bowl. It has a sweet grassy aroma, burned dry and cool, and overall was one of the better experiences I've had so far with pipe tobacco. Can't wait to try it again. I did let it dry out for an hour or two before packing and did not get any bite. I'll definitely be ordering this in bulk. Read Less

elicious. A full creamy flavor that excites the taste buds. I like the mix of Brazilian Virginias. I've had several blends that use virginias from Africa so I know what that tastes like. The addition of South American Virginians is just the right touch. I like this better than PS Luxury Twist Flake. Both are very good, but the over all flavor profile of #400 is more to what I like. Worth a try for anyone interested Read Less

If you enjoy Orlik Golden Sliced this is a great bulk blend to give a go. It's very similar in the light grassy hay like notes and just a bit of the citrusy fruity notes of a typical Va flake. It's an excellent bulk to add to your cellar.

VA flavor, or even the vapor of the casing I liked so much in the beginning.
Alas. It wasn't to be. I hung in there with my 4 ounce sample for a couple of days, sporadically jumping back to this flake in hopes of a breakthrough. But last night I finally threw it out. Emptied my pouch right into the trash can. It smells good in my room, unlit. I had anticipated by the look and the texture something of the character of Stokkebye flake, but I was disappointed.

aroma is marked by a very pleasant and unique note, reminiscent of honey, fresh hay, and a hint of citrus. All of this fancy talk translates to a mild smoke with a noticeable added flavoring, and a very low nicotine content. Speaking of hot, it burns quite cool for a VA flake. It's well-behaved too; I like to rub them to ribbons, but it won't reject to the fold & stuff method. Although it's fairly one-dimensional, it's exceptionally good. The room note is more pleasant than other VA flakes I've smoked around non-smokers. Newminster #400 was my first flake tobacco, and it's a perfect place to start if you've never had a VA flake before. Read Less

difficult to use the "fold & stuff" method, the cutting into cubes working best for me. I experimented with it, mixing it with just a bit of burley and really liked the added dimension of flavors.

This is all in how you pack it and how you control the burn. Once you get the hang of this, it'll be a favorite for the Virginia fan.

keep opening the jar you're trying to ferment, it darkens quite quickly, an indication of smokability. What you can do is leave small amounts of other tobacco out to go crispy dry, ie..Latakia or your favorite aromatic, berry, mango, peaches and cream, custard...you get my drift, tease out your flake in a bowl, rub your dried condiment tobacco into powder then gently rub that through your flake and"WALLAGH" the rest is up to you, experiment to your hearts content.
