Mac Baren Navy Flake Pipe Tobacco - Flake Cut

It's just wonderful. The natural tobaccoo flavors are drawn out and accentuated by the light casing on one or both or more of the tobaccos. It's not as rich as something like Rum Flake, but creamy and full some.

Crisp flavour but less than full.

I enjoy this blend although I’m a pipe smoker of less than a year. I like that a bowl full smokes for a really long time giving me more time to polish my technique.

Admittedly I love aromatics but wanted to try something different. Navy Flake is a smooth smoking flake. Delicious flavor. Mac Baren continues to impress.

This is a brand that I first tried in 1975 and with some alternating between Condor flake and Gold Block, have used quite consistently. I have no superlatives to deliver on this particular tobacco, but to say that it is consistent, satisfying and a tobacco that one can sit back in the comfort of a special chair in a special room and read with its companionable silence.

Excellent mild, flavorful tobacco.

I know it has Burley and Cavendish in it, but what I taste in this delicious flake is mostly the Virginia, sweetened a bit by the Cavendish and the floral-coconut sweetness of rum. These soft flakes light easily and smoke consistently down to grey ash, caramelizing a bit for the latter three-quarters of the bowl. I miss Peterson's "Signature Flake" and this is a good replacement, but stands on its own right as a sweet but balanced and easily enjoyed all-day smoke of medium strength.

This Navy flake has been around since the mid-1960s. Mac Baren Navy flake is about 70% Burley and 30% Brown Virginia Leaf. The added flavor is mostly honey, with a light sprinkle of dark rum. Smoke the flakes folded up or rubbed completely out. Navy Flake is a fine pipeful that is sure to keep you awake on the balls to four watches. MacBaren Navy Flake May not suit new pipers, as it can be strong in the lady nicotine area. Either way, the taste, and aroma are luscious! Chocolatey Burley tobaccos combined with the freshly mown hay of Virginia’s do magical things!

Brand new pipe smoker here. A little research pointed me towards Marc Baren Navy Flake and Im really enjoying it. Smooth and no bite. Granted, zero experience for comparison. But will definitely be a repeat purchase.
