Samuel Gawith's Navy Flake is a classic Virginia-based blend that is perfect for those who enjoy a smooth and mellow smoke. The tobacco is pressed and aged in cakes before being sliced into thin flakes, which are easy to pack and slow-burning. The result is a sweet and mild smoke with notes of hay, citrus, and a hint of honey. The name "navy" comes from the traditional method of pressing the tobacco with a casing of rum or other spirits, which was said to help preserve the tobacco on long voyages at sea. Navy Flake is a must-try for any lover of Virginia blends who is looking for a classic, traditional smoke.
