This sure is similar to Navy Flake. I have been gifted the entire line of Mac Baren's blends for review purposes and find this one to be a little too mild for my tastes. It is somewhat sweeter than the flake version although this one is kind of chunky in the tin and I rubbed it out a bit more before smoking.
Like most Mac Baren's blends, this can heat up a bit if not appreciated at a modified smoking pace.

When I bought it was pretty dry so I had to rehumidified it, so I think my sensastions on this blend were alterated by this fact, This tobacco is very pleasant to smoke and a leave an "alcholic" room note. Nevertheless, the burley dominate the mixture and leave a sense of "earth" in your mouth, a good mixture but not my favourite.

I'm a big fan of Mac Baren products. Not as big a fan of Navy Mixture. The aromatic element in this tobacco strikes me as floral, perfumy and somewhat bitter. What's more, I could taste it from top to bottom of the bowl. The strength is similar to Plumcake, (medium and satisfying) but that's where I stop comparing the two (I love Plumcake, casing and all.) The burleys make an appearance about halfway down, but still doesn't round out the flavor for me. The broken flake makes for a longer smoke which is nice. Won't be purchasing again but happily finished the tin.

I like Navy Flake much better. Mixture seems thin and just does not burn as cool as NF.
