I have developed almost an exclusive taste for flakes and LNF is one of my favorites. The flavor is sweet and savory, there is sufficient nicotine to let you know you're really SMOKING TOBACCO and the Perique tickles my sinuses. The flakes are fun to work and this is a great all-around blend. I highly recommend this tobacco.

A very pleasant easy smoking blend.Iam using the fold and stuff method as i do with all flakes.Great flavours coming through with just the right amount of Perique to give it a mild peppery taste.Will certainly be ordering some more.

I just picked up some PS Navy yesterday and have smoked a couple of bowl fulls now. I find it a rather pleasant, earthy smoke. It burned clean, all the way through but did give a bit of a nicotene kick, towards the end ofthe bowl. I did not get any of the "fruity" tastes some others have noted. All in all, I shall be adding this to my rotating for when I want a down to earth smoke and not something sweet.

Perique	02/08/2013	Medium	None detected	Medium	Tolerable
An excellent go-to VaPer, at an excellent price. Presentation is classic rectangular flake. Virginias are smooth and the Perique content is just right. As with any Virginia, gets better with age, but this one is smokable right out of the bag. Moisture level just right for those who rub out their flakes. I prefer the sweet notes of Luxury Bullseye Flake, but keep both on hand. When I'm in the mood for a straight, uncased VaPer, it doesn't get much better than LNF. Excepting Escudo, this is probably my favorite straight VaPer flake. Had I discovered PS's bulk VaPers earlier, I would have saved myself a lot of money on tinned tobacco. VaPer smokers: Buy a pound or two and jar it. You won't regret it.

This is a grassy, slightly sweet virginia flake with a nice perique note. It smokes slow and cool, but can be rewarding if you push it a bit. The taste is on the stronger, less sugary side of Old Gowrie. The flakes are thin like Orlik Golden Sliced. It has a decent nicotine level. With a bit of age on this it is very good, and the price is right. As far as I know it only comes in bulk, and has a tendency to dry quickly so I jar it as soon as it arrives. For a straight va/per I would rank this towards the top.

Picked up a small 2oz for relatively cheap from the local dedicated B&M, and I say, wow. This little bag contained plenty flake with little moisture, and immediately the grass, hay, and white pepper subdued a hint of rum lurking in this flake. While doing some work, I loaded my cob and burned a small bowl, amazed at the refreshing aroma and taste of this tobacco. Definitely a staple, for those with a Navy flake craving.

I get the citrus and I get the peppery tastes (especially when I retro-hale). It smokes consistant rubbed out and cube cut (which are my methods at the moment). If I go a couple of weeks without smoking this blend I find myself craving it. And it's a good deal since you can buy it by the pound. And I recommend that you do so.

Just not a huge fan. Very nice Va/Per that serves this purpose, just shouldnt have tried Orliks before. The hay like smell, the grassy taste, and no, no juicyfruit smell. I think thats it. As I enjoy this flake more I will revisit this review. Maybe Im missing....

I thought it burned a little hot when I smoked it, and a little bitey. The perique is light, and while it does add to the flavor some, I found the entire smoking experience to be extremely ordinary. Maybe this one will benefit from aging, but I'd rather smoke Escudo. UPDATE: 1-23-2013 After aging it a little, the bite disappeared and the perique seemed a little stronger, spicier. The Virginia seems to have mellowed a little and I taste the grassy, wood-like flavor better. I'm enjoying it much more now. I still prefer Escudo and DDNR, but I have to amend my original opinion and bump this up from 2 stars to three. It does benefit from aging and is worth the money. I'm glad I gave it another chance.

I think this is a tremendous value. This tobacco is everything I want in an all day VaPer and one of my favorite blends. It is slightly sweet with just enough spiciness to keep it interesting. I think this baccy is the better of the LNF LBF LTF selections. So glad this is very affordable and readily available.

WOW. Nicotine. But no tongue bite for me. I noticed pepperiness in the first bowl, but not so much after. This wasn't as 'smoky' as other english blends I have tried, therefore I liked it. FYI, I use a filtered pipe.

I really don't like VaPers, but that's not the criteria I will judge this blend on. No doubt that VaPer lovers will enjoy the taste of this blend more that I do, but what I haven't been able to get past is the nagging bite. I've smoked this blend at all sorts of paces: in leisure, on the go, at work, in the mornings, in the evenings, in winter, in summer, and beyond. In all settings, the bite has always been there to some degree. It won't bite fiercely, but it's consistently there. If you're a bit more seasoned than myself, then you may not have a problem with this flake, but for someone who has been smoking less that five years like myself, you're tounge is probably not up to the task. If it wasn't for the consistent bite, I'd surely give it a 3 or 4.

After 32 years of dealing with pipe shops that sell candy and not really caring what I want, I ordered LNF off the net. This is my first VaPer and after smoking some burley blends the past few weeks where I was firing up a bowl and it being spent in a matter of minutes. I did the same to the LNF and it almost knocked me down after a few puffs. I quickly realized this wasn't one of those candy flavor soaked tobaccos that I have grown to hate. I dont care much for latakia and wasn't sure how I would like perique. The taste of the perique isn't overwhelming. LNF burns well all the way to the bottom of the bowl and doesn't have the harsh taste when you get to the bottom. It burns cool, no tongue bite, it was a little wet and do think letting it dry would help. It's not one that would smoke everyday(yet) but those times when you want to kick back and relax and enjoy a long bowl without the maintenance or reloading and relighting, this is a good one for that.

Good VA flake with a nice hint of Perique. There is a casing, but applied lightly. Nice and sweet smoke, no tongue bite. Slightly similar to Orlik Golden Slices, and cheaper too since you can get it in bulk.

A good solid balanced VaPer. For me, the Perique is evident throughout without being overwhelming and is nicely balanced by the straightforward VAs. The flakes are easy to work with and keep burning well. Those who prefer their tobacco on the sweet side might not care for this, but most others should give it a try.

Impressions based on a 4-bowl sample I received from a friend. Certainly this is not enough to really get to know a tobacco but it's enough to make some personal observations, which is all any tobacco review is anyway! Beautiful flakes! This is a nice, light Vaper that, like all the Stokkebye blends I've smoked, does not seem to aspire to greatness, but is very good indeed! I wished for more strength, but that's not the point of this blend. As someone who's Vaper education began with Cope's Escudo and original Three Nuns, this is positively lightweight. And I think that's its charm. There was still good VA flavor that developed nicely down the bowl and a bit more than just a hint of perique. Too much perique can spoil a good VA and this stops well short of "too much". This is honestly a tobacco that I'd like to experiment with further. I thought it was quite good. This would make an excellent starter VaPer for VA fans that are curious about perique. Even so, as they progress, they just might find themselves coming back to this one. Nothing not to like here.

I've never had anything with perique in it before, so this was a great value experiment to expand my smoking horizons. I liked the occasional pepperiness of the perique. I live in the southwest so I like spicy flavors, and even though I'm not big on non aromatics, I found this to be an enjoyable smoke with a subtle variety of flavors throughout the bowl. Cooler smoke than some blends but there was still a nip on the tongue occasionally. I will continue trying perique blends thanks to this tobacco.

I really do love this tobacco. There are a couple of reasons. The value part I will get into in a bit, but the one thing I like about this flake is its honesty. No bells and whistles, no fancy tin, no silly name, just a navy flake that is damn good. As with most Virginia blends coming out of the orlik factory, this blend is good fresh, but only becomes more luxurious with age. The great price allows you to buy a ton of this stuff and just tuck it in to bed for a nice undisturbed sleep. The taste is nice and citrusy. The perique is evident but by no means overbearing. I think this tobacco could be given another name and put in a dolled up tin and sold for more than it fetches now. Instead the company keeps it as a no nonsense, inexpensive, darn good smoking blend. A must try and highly recommended.
