Luxury Navy Flake is almost identical to Comoy’s Cask #4 Stand Fast Navy. It is not the same as 507C. I’ve smoked A LOT of all 3 and blessed to have A LOT aging in jars 5+ years. Be well gentleman.

Do they ever have a pipe show near or at Los Angeles?

Yes!!!!! Thank god I knew I wasn't crazy!! Great video!!

Not saying you're wrong about what you're tasting, but just because you got them at the same time from the same vendor doesn't mean they were made at the same time.

i dont belive that these blends are the same. 507c va slice is more orange hay citrus as you said. i think that perhaps they meant to say that Newminster 400 and PS400 are the same. it isn't hard to imagine that people in the companies would make this mistake. i have been planning a video comparison as well. all good blends as far as i am concerned

I love comparison videos. I don't even know if I've had both of them, but based on your description, they sound different. My question is how consistent batches are, because that could also make a difference, so there could be a reasonable amount of difference there as well. Thanks for the video.

agreed. not the same. i love 507c

There's no way, I'll miss the 507 slices, I hope C&D can produce something similar.

Just more BS from STG. They are clearly not the same. I think they may very well be the same underlying virginia and casing but navy has perique, virginia slices does not. Period.

Good heaven, i was not aware of that reference. They are not the same blend for sure! To my knowledge matter of fact the virginia slices was made for sutliff by mac baren and no its not the same as virginia flake no1. Just my 2 cents.

Good Morning 😊 Happy 2025 🎉👏🏼 Fantastic Video👌🏽 Great Review 💯 Thanks For The Comparison and Your Thoughts are Much Appreciated 👍🏼 Have a Blessed Week Ahead 🙏🏽 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦

The P.S. Navy flake is definitely a va/per. I believe it has a bit of a rum casing as well (as many "Navy flakes" do). Probably just the same leaf, but a different processing as you suggested.

A nice comparison, fellas. I agree, they are certainly not the same.

This is Fred, Great Review, and Thanks for addressing the Issue. Look forward to Your next Podcast. Enjoy.

This is Fred. Just first watched the Video. Great Interview with a Master Blender. I am going back through the older videos. Great to see Oliver joined You.

Awesome video guys! Thanks for that 👍🏼

Funny I thought you weren’t a Virginia guy 😂

Great comparison! Thanks for bringing some clarity to a debate in the community.

Great Job!! I have both Blends and I don't believe they are not the Same. I enjoy them both. I enjoy the Virginia Slices more. I've had them since 2019. Thanks for sharing..........Jose from Texas

What pipe did the maker have?? I love that little pipe and I want one

I missed this and Sansepolcro last time around. Hoping for a re-release soon.

This is Fred. Quite an interesting Blend of Tobacco. A lot of different nuances coming from It. I haven't tried it yet, but should be Very Interesting, Great Review.

you guys should do a review on the falcon classic pipes

Wow smoked a bowl of this listening to this review. It's a tree bark cut. Strange. Dry as a popcorn fart. I'm not seasoned enough to be able to analyze this for 25 minutes. All I get is Pall Mall no filter. Bite right out of the gate. Nasty taste. I have no idea how you can say this is an all day smoke. 1/2 a bowl and I'm done. Guess the hobby is all subjective. I'll jar it up and let it set for a long long time to see what happens. I think you tried too hard to give it a passing grade.

I was pleasantly surprised by this DFK/Oriental experiment by Jeremy Reeves. I got the orientals that I love and not too much Burley notes from the DFK to dry my mouth out too much. The Green Pepper showed up halfway down the bowl and before that it was BBQ meat, baking spices and a little dried cranberries.

I smell noted of blood lol

You don't "load" a pipe, you FILL it.

I missed out on Firebird and kinda glad being all I heard was negative things about it,. You guys are the first positive I heard so far anyway thanks for sharing…enjoy your smoke 💨

I’m really enjoying your videos. Thank you for providing great content and I look forward to catching up on older videos as you put newer ones out. My only critique is that I don’t know your names. It would be nice if you can introduce yourselves on each video. Cheers!

Looking forward to receiving a sample from a buddy. Sounds right up my ally. 👍

Have you guys ever done a review of Samuel Gawith - 1792 Flake?

Thanks guys, for the great conversant review. Always a pleasure.

I agree with a lot of other consumers on other KZbin tobacco channels people have brought this to maybe never ever smoke it. It seems that a lot of people are in a buy any tobacco that comes out, as we will never be able to buy any type of tobacco again. However that mind set has prevented others who would have a legitimate like for that type of tobacco to buy. I don't know if anyone here in Australia was able to buy some because by the time I tried which was 6am AUS time it had sold out 5 hr before hand so yes probably should have got up earlier but I have seen that it wouldn't have mattered because people in the US couldn't buy it and the website froze.

Dark fired is not Burley

I I hope I'll be able to buy a tin -1 day and try it

I think they may be talking about green peppercorns rather than actual "peppers"

Great review guys. I grabbed a couple tins but haven't cracked it open. I'm looking forward to it. Do you think you'll find a replacement for Eastfarthing?

Ok I came back to this after video and it sitting in a jar for a little over 2 years and wow 🤯. Way different than when you first open the tin I did not care for this blend at first opening the tin but has matured well. This blend definitely needed the aging. This and Ashton rainy day were my first pipe tobacco’s coming from cigars.

Anyone know a replacement for the sutliff great outdoors blend? Is my favorite supposed to be a match for the old field and stream blend.

Peterson Irish Flake might be a good alternative to Old Dark Fired. They are different but comparable. Irish flake is probably less dark and more floral, but in the same vein.

Great video guys! Was watching y’all’s top 5 video from four years ago again. Do you think your list has changed where y’all could do another top favorite video again? Would love to see that!

OK, you guys are doing exactly what I was hoping someone would do! One of my favorites is Orlik Golden slice, and you did a nice reference to that in comparison with why you are smoking. I’m also looking for a replacement for vanilla roll cake!

Jeremy M at Sutliff said they’ve been buying 507c from STG for 20 years and it’s the same as LNF. He also said neither has perique. This was all mentioned on the Greywoodie podcast recently.

Id be interested to see your thoughts if you did a comparison of Virginia Slices to the Peter Stokkebye Navy Flake. They sure look, smell, and taste the same which matches the comment we read.

I’ve smoked about 3-pounds of this in the past six years. Easily in my top-5 tobaccos of all time; buttery, creamy and pleasant. Have it in the morning with a cup of black coffee and you’ll thank me later!

I bought a 1 1/2 pounds of twist flake last year to age and I’m very happy I did. I have a 4ish year old sample that I dive into every once in a while and I still really enjoy it. Sad to see all the HH lines leaves. Wish I had bought a pound of the each one.

Correct!!!! PS Navy Flake is the correct flake as per STG. Not Twist Flake.

Great video guys, awesome blend

It’s luxury navy flake that is the same as 507C

This was one of the first blends I really loved. Very enjoyable sweetness, I find it easy to smoke. Also probably the best looking flakes there are. Personally I enjoy ps403 and ps400 more but all three are delicious and the value is unbeatable. My favorite straight Virginia is is still Mac baren Virginia no1 😢
