I think it is official, I'm a Samuel Gawith whore. My favorite VA blend is FVF, my favorite Vaper is St. James Flake and now (even though I've only tried a few Navy Flakes) this one takes the spot for Navy flakes as well.

It's the only Navy Flake that I am aware of that has a touch of Latakia, but there may be more I'm not aware of. But when I say a touch, that's really all there is to me. The Virginias are the star and the Latakia is merely a team player. I think this is the first Lat blend I've had where it didn't dominate the blend.
It says it has a rum topping, but it must be a small amount because I'm not even sure I picked it up. What I did pick up was slightly sweet and was spicier than most VA blends, almost like it had a little Perique (which it does not). The Latakia stayed under the radar and complimented well without stealing the show.

I know it's only one bowl, but I enjoyed it very much and am looking forward to trying it in a few different pipes.

One more time, a big thank you to @BryGuySC . Looks like I'm really going to like this one, just like I do all their blends.
It seems your favourite Va, your favourite Vaper and your favourite Navy Flake are variations of the same tobacco. FVF is, well FVF. St James Flake is FVF with perique, and SG Navy Flake is 85% Virsinia from FVF and 15% latikia.
