I have never had much luck rolling and stuffing flakes, so I always rub out any flakes.
This tobacco has some sort of a topping on it--it's relatively mild (definitely not to the level of an aromatic), fruity or honey-like. I do not expect that from a VaPer.
The topping goes away for me after the first third of a bowl. After that there's not much to this blend. Most times I think the blender must have passed a leaf of perique over these flakes and counted whatever dusted off as an ingredient. I just don't sense any perique.
After the topping burns off, the virginias are fairly pleasant and hay-like, but there just isn't much flavor to be had. Unless I saw the smoke I would assume my pipe needed a light.
The price of this blend is, as others have said, low. The presentation is excellent--it looks and smells very tasty in the box. This does not translate into the smoke, though.
Somewhat recommended. I'm sure someone looking for a very mild blend so they can say they've smoked a VaPer will be pleased with this.

Perhaps a little bit too dry, but then pipe smoking is kind of going out of fashion, ahem, so loose in jars is a bit more hit and miss, but nonetheless a very serviceable flake of consistent quality but not exceptional.

I opened a jar of this that I put up in 11/05 hoping that I would have a better experience than the first couple of bowls I tried. Some have mentioned variability in the blend, and I think I've got one of those. There is no perique on the palate, nor is there any visible in the flakes. Mild, bitey if rushed (noticeable during the charring light and after). Definitely with that grassy taste, an inoffensive aroma, not much else. I've not had much luck with the PS blends except for Bullseye. May have to try the twist.

I just wasn't terribly happy with this blend. It has decent flavor, but is quite bitey and lacks the smoothness I prefer in my blends. There are other navy flakes out there, and I'd probably point you in their direction.
