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.

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!
