Anyone have experience with Drucquer & Sons: Blairgowrie? Seems to have good reviews on SP and on sale. Been wanting to try an English blend, just wondering if any one has tried it.
Thought I'd ask before I make a decision I may or may not regret.

I had the Red Lion and it was excellent picked up last three tins after the first one was gone at the local B/M.

I have some friends that have discriminating tastes in tobacco that have a far more refined palate than mine, and they are big fans. The fact that Greg Pease is the blender that resurrected the brand in my mind only solidifies the fact that he is holding the brand to a high standard in regards to the original. I really don't think that you can go wrong if you stick to the genre of tobacco's that you like....Straight Virginia, Va-per, Latakia, etc...

I did notice that Greg Pease at the bottom of the discription and kinda thought similarly.I figure if his name's on it then it must be good. But being new to English blends I wanted to be sure of myself I guess you could say .😃

One of the joys of this hobby. Finding new things to try!
And on this journey, only you can decide.
Everyone here can tell you it’s great or at least good.
Then you try it, and hate it.
Or it can be the other way around.
Read the reviews. Get the opinions.
Then try and decide (if you can😝) if this sounds like something you want to give a try.
I like English. But this is not one of my go to blends. But for some here it may be.

I've gotten away from latakia, but blairgowrie is quite good.Greg knows what he's doing.
