After several SG tries I am really only impressed with two: Grousemoor and Bothy Flake. Bothy when I want a mouthful of wet hay and Grousemoor when I feel like sucking flowers.
antb, can you share the names of a few blends you can get there? I assume Goussard's and Stanwell's. Anything not seen here?

Anything not seen here? Really? You can't get into St. James Flake, Full Virginia Flake, Best Brown Flake, or Golden Glow? I find all 4 to be excellent smokes. Picky (i.e. Your taste buds, your hydration level, the correct pipe, and the "full moon component" need to be in play), but excellent smokes. |

Oh no David, you do not want to try SA OTC's  . 99% of what I smoke is imported. Only better stuff freely available here are the Borkum Riffs (if you can call them better,  ) some Amphoras, the Peterson's and some Planta bulks at the few B&M's. My local B&M imported some Sam Gawiths some years ago and that started my love affair with decent tobacco. BTW, Goussards and Stanwells are my favorite pipes, not tobacs  |

David, if you're really interested look under Van Erkoms, Leonard Dingler and Sturk's Tobacconists on tobaccoreviews.com. Makes me think, it's about time JimInks receive some hate mail from the Dark Continent to review |

My favorite SG blends so far couldn't be farther apart on the spectrum: 1792 and Firedance Flake. There are quite a few I haven't tried that sound up my alley, though - especially Westmoreland, Perfection, Sam's, Bothy, Navy, and Balkan. I have tins of most of them, waiting, beckoning....
