These flakes are little works of art. And like Mr. Korndog, I too sit and stare at them for extended lengths of time!
I let them dry a bit, and then the fold and stuff method works great. The way the flake naturally starts to break up (due to the unique folded and pressed manufacturing) makes it easier to light than your average flake. This stuff burns great and produces creamy fountains of smoke when it's rolling by mid-bowl.
The virginias here are very agreeable to the tongue. It hasn't bit me yet in any pipe or fill method. The top flavor is sweet but midly so, and has a sort of 'refreshing' tone to it. Almost like anis, or mint. But don't worry, the flavor is light and goes well with the high quality tobacco. I'm surprised how much I like the flavor.
A "must try" for those lovers of virginia flakes with a sense of adventure. A possible "hate it" for virginia purists or grouchy old men 😉

BOOYAH!
A most unique presentation and preparation of Danish Virginia Cavendish. One of the easiest flakes to prepare and smoke in a variety of techniques and pipes.
Very nice tobacco.

Pretty much everything has been covered by the over reviewers. My two cents are as follows...
Smells wonderful in the bag. Flavor of tobacco seems slightly muted. Lite, easy to smoke. Room note isn't the 1st choice of the wife.
The grassy flavor doesn't really present itself until the bottom 1/4 of the bowl.
I would recommend it, but only to those whose preference isn't a full bodied virginia.
To me this has about 1/2 the body of Solani 633, which for some might be exactly what they are looking for.
I have some Luxury Navy Flake and Luxury Bullseye Flake on the way to see if I they are a little more hearty.

Super price in bulk, AS GOOD as orlik golden slices with the exception that it runs hot and can really hurt you.

A nice mellow Va flake. This seems to me as a good transition smoke for those in the aromatic realms. You get the best of both a lil virginia grassiness seems to pop up now and then through the topping which to me seems like caramel. Price is right and behaves well with no gurgle and few lights.

A sweet and mild virginia flake that is gorgeous in appearance.
LTF has an interesting added flavoring that is difficult to pinpoint, although, thedstnguishdgntlmn 's comment, "Think baked goods right out of the oven", is probably as close as one can come to describing this flakes unique taste and aroma.
Not something I smoke everyday, LTF is nice change of pace from my normal virginias. Anyone who appreciates a flavored virginia should try this unusual offering.

LTF is the most manageable, coolest, and most flavorful of the Stokkebye blends. For me, it's a nice change of pace when I don't want something richer and complex. I also find it a really good tobacco to mellow an English blend that I happen to find too strong for my liking.

My original review was lost somehow. A flake pretty enough to frame. Stokkebye makes some of the softest, low-moisture flakes that are easy to lite.
I like this better than Troot Slices or Mac Burnout's Dark Twist or most aromatic blends for that matter. I gave this a try because my favorite tobacco-man personally bade me, the late Peter Stokkebye.
LTF has an aroma of Danish pastry, when Danish pastries were made with real butter; crisp, tender, flakey and found on bakery shelves, and were not made with vegetable shortening and stuffed into shrink wrap as a gooey "treat".
LTF is delicate, moderately cool, provides copious smoke, and worthwhile if mild, simple aromatic tobacco in flake-form is your deal. The price for 1 1/2 lbs. is hard to beat.

I smoked a ton of this. Its like the other version of Navy Flake they offer without the perique. (Since you can barely notice the perique in that they are similar). It has more bite than Orliks golden slices, a little more pronounced flavor,sweeter- but it is a little grassy notes that eventually drove me back to OGS. Buy a half pound, it is positively the best smelling tobacco ever! I bought a bunch once that was moldy, stokes is cheap....
BETTER PICK: MCCLELLAND CHRISTMAS CHEER 05' OR 06
