| Well, she is here  . Smoking a bowl of the Greenfield and Winther white burley as I write this  . As the final contestant and divider of the loot, I am doing the sorting. Have a PB box going (  ) and a box for the troops being put together, and am setting aside stuff for myself to sample. Reports to follow. _________________ These are horrible times and all sorts of horrible people are prospering, but we must never let this disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to annoy and hinder them at every turn.

| Old Joe Krantz - Almost gone, a bit dry, but a good solid burley smoke.
VR blend - A bit mild for my taste.
Exhausted Rooster - This smells and tastes like the same exact topping that McClelland uses on their 5115, but without the bite that 5115 has. Not bad at all. Different.
Walnut from the 70's - the Syrian comes through, but unfortunately that's about it. Too old I think, the stuff just gave up the ghost.
Glengarry flake - Good stuff! Smoking some as I write this in an Ashton Pebble Shell billiard. Excellent! Kind of mild, the Lakeland essence is quite subdued (which is how I like it).
Best Brown - The last of it. A good smoke but awfully mild.

| Ringlow Syrian - Pretty good stuff. The Syrian is very lightly used, has less of a presence that MacBaren's HH Vintage, but the supporting tobaccos are better and the overall composition comes out nicer in the Ringlow. It starts out almost too mild, but builds nicely and by mid bowl cruises right along with a very fine flavor.
Savinelli Black Cavendish - Meh. Next?
Boswell Christmas Cookie - next please (just another good smelling aromatic on flavorless fluff).
Peterson Sweet Killarney - Let's just say, I'm done with these aro's, they all suck.
Shortcut to Mushrooms - OK, this is an Aro, just another relabeled thang that's got some underlying stewed latakia thing going on over a sweetened dark cavendish base. I've smoked this before, as a Tinderbox blend I believe, and it ain't half bad. Wouldn't buy it, but it wasn't half bad.
