I'd have to guess you're on the right track... although what do I know, I'm no tobacconist![]()
I do know that it's rare to walk into a B&M and find bulk flake tobacco... let alone good flake.
FYI, Newminster 400 Navy flake is very good IMO and also available in bulk... cheap! It's a bit like SG FVF.
Even tho I gravitate away from burley blends, I like the Aromatic Dutch Sliced. 41 Cube cut is good too.
