someone shared a tobacco blend they make last night in chat, it's all flakes, but listed them as LNF, LTF, and LBF. What are they?
Also, I'm looking for a tin of Stanwell Jubilee -- P&C is out of stock, Smoking Pipes doesn't carry it, can anyone direct me to where I can get some? |

You'll almost always see those three abbreviated. The full names are Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Navy Flake, Luxury Twist Flake, and Luxury Bullseye Flake, all of which you've heard of. LNF is my desert island tobacco.

The bullseye flake definitely sounded familiar, lol. I tried the 403 and really liked it, haven't tried the others yet. I will make an effort to sit out in the shade tomorrow morning and try them.

Bullseye flake gets the best reviews, Navy sells better, probably because it's usually cheaper than the Bullseye. Twist trails in third, and is the one you may remember gives hints of coconut to some people. I personally think Twist is cool, because some of the tobacco comes from Zimbabwe.
How many other things in your home come from Zimbabwe? I mean, list everything you know about the country...hmm. Do you even know the capital, and could you find it on a map?

very true. All I know about Zimbabwe is I've heard the name, lol. So, the "recipe" posted last night was:
1 flake LNF 1 flake LTF 2 flakes LBF
Since I have all those, I will give it a try.

Betcha didn't know their flag has a chicken and a red star on it. See?  What the hell?? Except it's not a chicken, it's the Great Zimbabwe Bird, and the red star represents ' the nation's aspirations'. And it's where Peter Stokkebye gets some of the Virginias in LTF. Zimbabwe's first president after their independence in 1980 was a dude named Caanan Banana. President Banana. Their biggest export is tobacco, at 20% of their total. If I was better at 'shopping images, I'd have made the chicken smoking a pipe.  |

It was from some old soapstone sculptures found in the ruins of an ancient Zimbabwean city. It's on money, other flags, logos, stamps, passports, all kinds of things. No one's sure what it means, or what it is, but it's probably an ancient spirit bird. O Great Chicken, my tobacco's all wilty; please send us some rain.
See Lady M? I may have only a third of the posts, but...

sadly, I have gone through my baccy and I do NOT have LNF  I know cobguy sent me three goodies, two of which were #403 and PS LBF, but I can't for the life of me remember what the third one was and I forgot to write it down. ugh. Oh, and I don't have LTF either, so I'll be placing an order next pay day, so it'll be a couple weeks. However, I can get Coffee tomorrow so I can try the DFK blend this weekend  |

Just FYI, smokingpipes has cheaper LNF right now. 8oz with shipping here to Texas is $20, P&C is $25.

Let me know via PM if you'd like some LNF and LTF and I can get some samples your way. I know I'm new but I'm not new to pipe smoking or the community so I've traded with many of these "new" people you're seeing piling in in droves. -Zach |

If Jubilee hasn't gone out of production, it is in short supply. I last saw it at the West Virginia smokeshop and it sold out. I don't know what the deal is on Stanwell tobaccos, but it is hard to find the entire line in one shop. SP, one of the biggest vendors, only stocks 2, as an example.
