I find that I have a small handful of blends that I reach for more than others. We all have our favorites, but what blends do you ignore? Not necessarily because you don't like it. I mean, what blend do you enjoy but for whatever reason dont get to enough?
For me, it's Orlicks Golden Sliced. I like the flavor, it's a good burning smoke, but I just never seem to get back too it very often.
What about you?

Gentleman Caller, and Bayou Morning are definitely two. I keep thinking I'd like a nice bowl of Carter Hall too, but never get around to it. There's just TOO MANY TOBACCOS! Maybe some Carter Hall tonight... But, then I'd have to skip the Comoy's #2, and/or Kajun Kake. Decisions, decisions...

Funny, my two favourites (cube and orange dream) have been neglected because I'm too busy trying different, new blends.

Yesterday I pulled out some jars that have only 1 or 2 bowls left: HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rub, Billy Budd, Luxury Twist Flake, Nightcap, and Jack Knife Plug.
I told myself that I was going to finish these off before smoking anything else. They are blends I enjoy, but I have to force myself to finish them off for some reason.

My Lakeland blends. I really like Grasmere, Bosun Cut Plug, Bob’s Chocolate Flake, and GH Dark Plug (U) but rarely smoke them because I’m too busy smoking my Va.’s, VaPers, and Burley blends.

I have too many blends to choose from...so I just reach out and grab what ever is closest leaving many down below and up top that I rarely get to. Gonna have to rearrange everything so that I smoke different blends.

So many tobaccos, so little time. Sounds like my ex from Malta.....the woman that came home and said......” we’re having a baby, are you as happy as I am “?? My response, I still remember to this day....” so, who’s the father.....you forget I was fixed in ‘83 “! She insisted it was mine, I knew and proved to her it was not! Our marriage was dissolved in her own Country!! Her moto “ So Many Men, So Little Time “!!! She turned out to be a s#$&&#$@t I’ve ever known! |

It's more about finishing some open stock before opening others. It's been a few years since I last smoked HOTW or SJF. But I have too many blends open right now, and until I've whittled away my current rotation I'm ignoring any of the other 60 or so blends I have tucked away.

Stonehaven, my first impression was it was great but, now it just doesn't have what I'm looking for.
Oh, its good, not saying it isn't, just aint got what ticks all the boxes for me anymore but, I do on occasion do a bowl and it still pleases me. Reckon I gotta be in the right mood for it to do it for me.

"Reckon I gotta be in the right mood for it to do it for me." I think you are right...as usual.

Thanks Randy, as soon as I’m with the program I will take a look. After Rich sold the business, the new guy Jeff never responded to 4 of my emails. Waited another week.....still nothing. I closed my account after 15 plus years. Rich ran the business with excellent customer service, plus he always answered his phone....Jeff does not. I’ll give it another shot after coffee. Thanks for letting me know! Have a great Sunday 👌👍👍 |

I picked up some Sutliff 515 RC1, loved it, think it's the best replacement for Red Cake that I'll ever find. And I've on managed 3 bowls since.

Just 2. Ten Russians and Star of the East Flake. I have 3 8 oz tins of each and I love 'em. I keep telling myself that I'll savor them one of these days. I have so many open open bulks, I just don't want to open any beauties just yet.

G.L. Pease. Almost Entirely. Only had Gaslight once. I have no idea why. Maybe I just didn't get to them yet.
