Peter Stokkebye PS 400 Luxury Navy Flake Pipe Tobacco

I tend to smoke Virginias in the day time, often in a Meerschaum. This is my favorite of all the ones I've tried so far. This and the Bullseye flake, one or both is always around here. At the bulk price this is a steal, I kid you not.

Just like with PS403, I buy this to let it sit around and get old. Two pounds of this in a gallon mason jar is a beautiful thing. Oh yeah, this stuff tastes good too!

Has a light smell of cut hay, which is very pleasant with very low tongue bite. One of my favorites.

One of my favorites. A fantastic navy flake with top drawer Virginia tobacco magically blended with some Louisiana Perique. I can smoke it morning (goes great with a good cup of coffee), noon and night. And being able to buy it in bulk is an extra bonus. A 5 star tobacco at a bargain price. I try to always keep some on hand. And a perfect tobac to cellar.

My favorite everyday smoke. Needs to dry a little so I leave a couple of oz in my pipe case. I love it. I smoke it folded and rubbed as each way tastes and smokes differently. I probably fold it 2/3 of the time. Slightly sweet but naturally so. I really enjoy all the PS Luxury flakes (Bulls Eye and Twist). Plus the bulk options make it great for my cellar. I'm sure it will age very well. I'm honestly not sure if it's flavored (rum? Fig?). I think not and it's just very well produced, but it might be. I'm generally a purest but if it is flavored, I don't care because it's great. Everyone around me when I'm smoking it says the smell is amazing as well.

Good tobacco at a good price, with excellent customer service and fast shipping.

A good balance of Virginia and Perique. I found it smokes best when left to dry in the open air for about 15 minutes. The tobacco has a nice rich fig aroma to it unsmoked that comes through as a subtle fruit and spice note while smoked. A fair nic hit as well.

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 produced 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 tastes 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.

What a wonderful tobacco! This is my everyday smoke. I reach for it first thing each morning. You cannot go wrong with this tobacco!
