Every company that makes a navy flake has a different approach, but they usually have one thing in common - they're all topped with rum, which sailors used to preserve their tobacco on board ship (don't you just love trivia?). Mac Baren's Navy Flake is a particularly smooth smoking version. rather than making it completely from Virginia, they add some Burley and Cavendish to the mix for a slower, cooler smoke and enhance the rum with a spot of honey.  See for yourself why this is one of the best-selling navy flakes around the world.
