Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation 1931
(3.29)
The 1931 flake is primarily U.S. burley, U.S. mature Virginias and a little bit of black cavendish. It’s an all-natural blend that offers a dry, natural smoke without additives in terms of flavoring.
Erik Peter, his father, was a larger than life person, full of energy and passion for his craft. His favorite tobacco was the navy flake, and this full-bodied smoke is a perfect example of his passion. It strikes a natural balance in the distinct characteristics of superior burleys and mature Virginias by using a small measure of black cavendish to please true flake lovers.

This tobacco has such a striking tin note of honey, I have to question the descriptions out there that claim it is not flavored - I'm assuming it has a honey topping, which works. Right out of the tin, folded and stuffed, it lights well and stays lit. The flavor is rich, warm and sweet. The honey comes through but in a subtle way. There's a wonderful nutty flavor, dark fruits and a bit of spice.
This is a wonderful tobacco. I could smoke it every day.

There are few blends that reach the pinnacle of perfection,but this one does. My tin is dated November 2020 and the moisture level was perfect to be smoked right away. The Burley and Virginia are high quality and matured. The light honey topping enhances the flavor making this a smooth,sweet smoke, but not in an artificial way. I could smoke this all day if I had the time. It burns clean and cool. No bite or harsh spots. Room note seems ok of course my wife loves pipes ( I'm a lucky man ). This smokes the same all the way to the bottom. Top notch flake! Highly recommended.

This tobacco looks and smells great in the tin but the taste is mostly of fermented burly, it is pungent like perique, no Virginia sweetness or tang.
Update:
The smell of this tobacco in the tin is identical to Mac Baren navy flake, the taste and the quality of the smoke however, is much better.

One of my personal favorites. This flake reminds me Beorn's Woodland Hall. This must surely be the blend that Gandalf smoked within this pillared hall and blew such lovely colorful magic smoke rings with. The Southern Star burley leads the way with a nutty woodsy taste and the Longbottom Virginia providing mellow notes of grassy meadows. The ever present Old Toby Cavendish ties the two together perfectly like cream and honey. These wonderful tobaccoes are pressed into flakes that are caused in honey made by Beorn's fantastic bees whose nectar comes from the magical bee gardens that surround his woodland hall. A must try for anyone who enjoys the hobbit's leaf. Another plus is the price. You want need any dragon golf to purchase this magical blend. Happy Puffing

Of all the Navy flakes I have smoked, this one hits the spot.
High quality tobacco, no bite, lots of flavor, it's a deep and rich yet mild-mannered and friendly flake that, unlike other flakes in this style (MB for example), I never get sick of smoking.
All day, any day, gimme that 1931.... puff puff...

The ribbon cut after rubbing looks distinctively virginian leaf with a sort of red ginger brown colour. Smells wonderful, grass hay smell. Placed in sealed jar. Smoke is very virginian in taste, bread, woody and smokes slowly and consistently, this is probably due to the burely that gives some depth. There is sometimes a nutty sweetness. This is not a fast burning tobacco, and the blend is constantly satisfying in taste that is quite typical of navy flake. A wonderful smoke without any complications.
Some reviewers suggest that a possible sweet topping has been included, but IMHO I think it's just the pressed cavendish.
Just right for a Sunday afternoon with a mug of English tea.
