Newminster No. 400 Superior Flake Pipe Tobacco

Figgy, dark, and slightly citrusy. So far my favorite tobacco I've tried, and its cheap in bulk. Win-win

The is a really nice bready style Virginia Flake. I found it needed some drying for my preference, but once I dialed that in I was rewarded with a nice bready smoke. Not too heavy, not too light. It does smell like Graham Crackers or Golden Grams in the tin and the room not is pleasant for those around you. If you enjoy Virginias this is another to add to your cart.

Newminster #400 is the best

Consistent

I like it because it burns nice and slow but it gets a little gnarly near the end of the bowl

A great straight Virginia flake, no casing, no toppings, real good price, everything you want from a Va Flake. My daily smoke.

A great Virginia flake, light and mellow with an aroma of honey and Graham cracker. An all-day smoke.

I was introduced to this blend in the first month (April '22?) of the Mystery Compare & Share blends. Before I knew what it was, I had determined that I preferred it over the (slightly more popular) VaPer that was the mystery counterpart that month. It is smooth and delicious - and is the first Va that I bulked up on and jarred. Reaching for Va's less frequently at this point than Englishes, I find the milder presentations of this leaf to be more to my preference at this time. This is one that burns more easily for me, and has me less concerned with heat & bite than many other popular Va's. Smooth & creamy, which apparently comes in part from just a touch of caramel. Don't let that push you away, I found it to be very delicate and if this leaf style is your friend, No. 400 could be an all day smoke. It's on the top 10 list for a good reason. Great value as well.

Found this as the #2 option on the first month of the Mystery Review "series". It was a nice way to find a new-to-me blend. I have enjoyed it quite a lot; enough to order a fair bit more...
