Also interesting would be a list of tobaccos you wish would go away
This may not be a fair choice, but I would have to go with John Surrey's Snow Apple. I have only had a vintage tin, so I didn't smoke it "In Days of Yore"
Listening to The Archies Christmas Album at present. Yes, it is that time of year!!!!

I have to add Flying Dutchman. I did smoke that in Days of Yore. Mostly, more important than quality, there should always be a tobacco named Flying Dutchman... forever. A cooler name is hard to find;(My first semicolon in The Patch) possible, but hard

Balkan Sobranie original and 759. I still dream about them and try to get close with hausegemacht concoctions.

Original Heine's Blend with deer tongue. Another one I didn't smoke back in the day, but there is not a lot of difference in the two editions. Just a little more flavor in the vintage. Here in MO, mentioning a Heine with a tongue in it might get you slapped |

Jim will get this one in one guess for me.... LEO. Luckily, I was able to do some end of life buying and cellared it deep.
Smoker's Haven Syrian Limited is high on this list for me, too. That was an extremely limited release (265 tins made) and, so, I’m not quite sure if that counts for the question.

Many of the blends from the Connoisseur Pipe Shop in NYC. Ed Burak made some fine blends!

I received a tin of State Express London Mixture as a gift last week. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until the next WCPS to share it with the gifter. |

Edgeworth Slices. Particularly since I've been able to renew my acquaintance with this baccy via three tins I received a year or so ago iirc. Since soon there will be no more, I wonder whether the whetting of the apetite is a good or a bad thing. Whatever it is, I wasn't going to pass them over.
As a btw, although you didn't ask, numbers 2, 3 & 4, respectively, would be the original Carreras Craven Mixture, the original, earlier Blue Boar, and the also earlier (50s-70s) House of Windsor Revelation. I've been able to revisit them too, which has confirmed my evaluation of all four of these classics.

Fortunately, few of the mentioned extinct blends fit my palate. So there's more for y'all. My fave-disc blends would be Pease's Bohemian Scandal and Renaissance.

I have both of them and will get around to enjoying them on a special occasion. I was also fortunate to find another fave, Raven's Wing, at an affordable price at the WCPS. |

Adding to Three Nuns VaPer: Strang Rope, and Edgeworth Sliced. Would be remiss not to mention our own Cobguy's one-of-a-kind homemade blends.

Am I allowed to put Dunhill? Not quite dead yet, but I hear the bullet's in the air. I love every blend from them I've ever had. I'll miss London Mixture especially  |
