[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 84724, member: 341"] I hear "Navy Flake," I think Mac Baren. No basis in the mythology, just a nice tobacco that I suspect has the biggest market share for anything called NF. Both the MB and the PS seem to be riffs on the British brands' Navy Cut, which are VAs on the sweet side. The mythological Navy Flake could've been a combination of a few things: Dark Burley, N. Rustica, maybe even some Cavendished burley. The rum would've been much different than the modern stuff, too... "Kill-Devil" was made from unrefined molasses and sugar syrup left over from the refining pots, often made with the washwater... and if it wouldn't prove, they'd kickstart it with a dough of quicklime, egg, and flour, or even animal carcasses or dung. Given that choice, I think I'd want the tobacco *least* like the "original" NF. [/QUOTE]
