Pretty mild but pleasant smoke. Smoke it slow and it will reward you with notes of grass and sweet malt. I've heard it improves with age but didn't have the chance to age a tin myself.

This is good tobacco. The most of pipe smokers like that. I never heard any bad comment for this. This is one of the best tobaccos in Turkey.

I live in Turkey so I've been smoking this brand for a few years now. I've introduced a few pipers to the Bosphorus range & the collective opinion on the Navy Flake is that it's as good as any of the other Navy Flakes made by any other blender anywhere in the world.

The balance of the red & yellow Virginias with the burley is perfect to give the traditional navy scent & taste. I can't fault it in anyway.
