[QUOTE="s.ireland, post: 167944, member: 1283"] I enjoy all three of the PS luxury flakes. But I wouldn't say that they are very similar to eachother. Perhaps luxury Navy and luxury Bullseye are more similar to eachother than either of them are similar to the twist flake, but even that is a stretch. Plenty of flakes out there are similar to Luxury Navy and there's a few that are similar to the Bullseye (Escudo of course) but in my limited experience the Twist flake is very unique. It is sweet and does have a great room note but I wouldn't call it aromatic. There is definitely some topping but I'd say the description is pretty accurate: "[b]A pure Virginia blend[/b] from the best fields of Zimbabwe and Eastern United States. Rolled Twist Flake, then Cavendish pressed and cut." It's sweet and has a caramel note but the pure VA taste is very forward. And Ol'Dawg is probably right. I just looked up Larsens number 32 curly flake... Sounds like it would be a close match based on the way it's produced, the blend of VA, and the reviews. Many noted a significant caramel flavor which is there in the Luxury Twist as well. Now I just have to try to find some Larsen #32 for a comparison... [/QUOTE]
