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.

A l’ouverture du sachet c’est un bel arôme d’herbes fraîches que je reçois.
Les bruns sont clairs , plus de Burley que de V.A. Par contre le BC est quasi absent.
Dès les premières volutes je retrouve l’herbe fraîche en bouche.
D’entré le tabac est bien présent ainsi que la fumée qui est très généreuse.
Je perçois une légère note d’agrumes.
En retro-olfaction c’est tantôt herbes fraîches, tantôt herbes sèches.
Malgré que la fumée soit bien présente elle a un coté doux très agréable; probablement apporté par l’ajout de miel et la très légère pointe de BC qui au final est suffisante.
Au deuxième tiers j’ai toujours cette note d’agrumes avec une pointe acidulé. Rien de désagréable, au contraire.
En retro-olfaction je ne perçois plus que le coté herbes sèches. Cela me va bien car la fumée continue d’être généreuse même si la petite note de douceur commence à disparaître.
A la fin du deuxième tiers c’est la note acétique qui prend le dessus sur l’agrume.
La combustion est toujours aussi bonne.
Au troisième tiers je perds complètement la petite douceur des deux premiers car les tabacs se mettent en mode charge de cavalerie ce qui a pour effet de remettre le V.A au premier plan avec une belle note citronné et acidulé.
Au final c’est un mélange qui m’a bien plus pour son coté non linéaire d’une part, son contraste entre la fumée bien présente mais avec une pointe de douceur et sa combustion très bonne.
Un mélange qui peut ravir aussi bien ceux et celles qui veulent une fumée bien présente et généreuse mais aussi ceux et celles qui préfère la discrétion car la combustion étant très bonne , elle est facile a gérer.

I bought this in a small tobacconist in a local town where I'd popped in to purchase some cigars. The gentleman in the shop popped the tin for me to smell and I thought it was a VaPer from the tin aroma. Beautifully presented flakes which are quite light with a few darker streaks and the aroma of grass, a little wood and summer fruits. Goldilocks straight from the tin, I lightly rubbed it out and filled my quarter bent limited edition Balandis briar. Lighting up was easy and straight away I knew it was a VaBur and quite similar to MacBarens NF but this one is IMHO a more refined and more nuanced blend. First half of the bowl is sweet Virginia with an interplay of the best Burley I've had so far giving a sweet nuttiness akin to fresh almonds. The honey is there too and it's a floral honey taste similar to Heather honey. As I progress down the bowl the burley is coming through more but doesn't detract from the overall experience. I prefer this to MacBarens as it contains less moisture and therefore little to no tongue bite. I would recommend this to anyone who smokes a pipe,and quite easily a tobacco you could happily revisit throughout the day. Room note is light and pleasant and leaves a sweet, grassy taste in your mouth. This would pair spectacularly with Dragon's Blood Mead!
