Navy Cut/Flake

I was doing a bit of research on Navy Cut tobaccos. Came across this article about Capstan which peaked my interest a bit. Wondering if anyone here has a recommendation on that or another brand of Navy they like?

Thinking about trying some of Peter Stokkebye’s Luxury Navy Flake

Not the same sort of Flake, but Escudo Navy Deluxe is mm mmm gooood.

I second Escudo.  I opened my first tin purchase in the past week or so.  I love the coin shape.  The moisture content is Goldilocks.  No rub out needed, so I just fold and stuff into my bowl.  The tobacco requires some relights, but otherwise is a pleasure to smoke.

You can’t go wrong with Peter Stokkebye. I like their Luxary Bullseye Flake as well. Escuado is great, and gets better with age. Capstan Blue is one that I would recommend as well. That one is such a storied blend loved by many including Tolkien.

I always have at least one tin of flakes open in my rotation. I'm smoking Mac Baren Mixture Flake right now. Once I got the hang of packing the flakes into the bowl, I really found I enjoy them. Ones I've tried and liked: (not in any order)
Capstan Blue Flake
St. Bruno Flake
Davidoff Flake Medallions
Rum Flake

MacBaren Navy Flake is one of my longtime favorites, as well as Dunhill Navy Rolls.

Another question for my curiosity...would some Navy Flake/Cut be considered twist tobacco? It kinda looks like it to me, but I’m new to this sort of thing.
