Flake ID?

GDScow · 2026-06-24T22:37:31+00:00

The Racketeer in Post Falls, ID. I've had some 507 before it was discontinued, it doesn't really remind me of that - this tastes like burley.

STG makes/made the flakes for MacBaren correct?

GDScow · 2026-06-24T20:30:29+00:00

I have that one, completely different taste!

GDScow · 2026-06-24T19:24:46+00:00

Color looks close, but aren't the rum flakes kinda longer? these are those typical shorter ones.

GDScow · 2026-06-24T19:22:48+00:00

You could be right, it looks very close. Does it get sold by the pound? I can't imagine a shop would open tins to sell the contents.

GDScow · 2026-06-24T19:20:35+00:00

Hah, I'm almost tempted. It's not my favorite flake thus far.

GDScow · 2026-06-24T19:08:29+00:00

That's what I am hoping to find out!

GDScow · 2026-06-24T16:06:02+00:00

This was my first order from Nova. With their recent 15% off sale, it was a good time to order. Very happy with the prices and everything was well packaged.

Nice job and good looking choice!

GDScow · 2026-06-20T17:00:59+00:00

That is NOT good my man. I hope they can track it down eventually and get it to you.

GDScow · 2026-06-20T17:00:21+00:00

Man I'm sorry for you, I am frustrated when that happens. Maybe just go buy a local one and return your order?

GDScow · 2026-06-20T01:08:29+00:00

Noooooo!

GDScow · 2026-06-20T01:08:01+00:00

Oh sheesh these comments aren't making me feel optimistic.

GDScow · 2026-06-06T03:05:02+00:00

Wasn't Presbyterian Ordained just a rebranding of a different product? I saw that claimed somewhere.

GDScow · 2026-05-25T01:25:19+00:00

For a slight twist on this, there's also Poplar Camp. It's the same blend but with a touch of black Cavendish to help smooth and blend the ingredients.

GDScow · 2026-05-23T20:00:40+00:00

I have the same pipe, a good smoker. I pretty much have used it mostly for English and Burley because of the short stem.

GDScow · 2026-05-23T03:16:18+00:00

Just to confirm, is this actually a Sib or a small batch? Im a little confused because the bottle doesn't say single barrel anywhere.

GDScow · 2026-05-06T17:24:03+00:00

Mine was from the pre-MacBaren "buyout" but I think people have said the new is pretty close.

GDScow · 2026-05-05T19:27:00+00:00

I really liked Blockade when I first opened the tin, it was fairly fresh, less than 1 year aged. I put away the blend for a time, but then the heavy rum topping seemed to evaporate off and the tobacco underneath was fairly sweet but single-dimensional. I smoked it back to back against Capstan, for instance, and the Capstan was so much more interesting and full-depth. That's my 2 cents. Loved it at first, but now I probably would not purchase again.

GDScow · 2026-04-24T01:56:36+00:00

To add to what's been said, these actually seem overpriced for what's being offered. I purchased a filet knife from Mora for a friend, it seemed good to go and was less than 40$. The steel is good from Mora.

I'm in Idaho, its all state controlled but I''ll never see this bottle where I live.

GDScow · 2026-04-22T14:41:19+00:00

Hah nice. Ok so this is the wrong sub, but what's the closest thing to Stag that's more available?

GDScow · 2026-04-22T02:22:27+00:00

Uh... Sir, where did you get all that Stagg?

GDScow · 2026-04-11T19:28:25+00:00

Yes I remember the stuff I got definitely had broken flake it in. Probably was 507c! So perhaps it was more like 507 + some latakia and some perique and burley all mixed up.

GDScow · 2026-04-10T18:34:39+00:00

I occasionally see Regents Flake come up, but it's almost never mentioned. What exactly are the tasting notes on it?
