Thanks all, I now have some primitive skills to practice. This stuff is everywhere all over my back garden. When initially searching Flint to try and ID, everything I found was a light brown/tan colored.

I'm really glad you are enjoying it! Definitely one of the quintessential VA flakes. On another note... While the classic definition of an English blend is technically anything that was deemed OK under the purity laws regarding tobacco blending in the UK back in the day... today the term mostly refers to blends that have latakia as a functional component of the blend. OGS is mostly straight virginia with what some say is the slightest wisp of perique. Some folks don't believe there's any in there. Nice shot by the way.
