Vito go ahead and admit it! We know you just recently ordered six 12 oz. cans of John Middleton Walnut!

The real answer is What I'm smoking right now. Better than 90% of the time I'm thinking 'I need more of this' when I'm smoking.



I'd bet dollars against donuts that there's some real Middleton Walnut from the 60's/70's stashed in Dr Vito's Lab.

No...that was twelve 14 oz. tubs of Mixture No. 79. You must be confusing me with CP. Walnut is his favorite. He denies it, of course...but to no avail. Twisted Evil

pb:

Just about anything else, yes...but Walnut was one I somehow missed. Never burned a bowl before recently, when JP graciously sent me a generous sample. I'm still working my way through the bag, trying to get a handle on it. It's the doggone strangest 'baccy I've ever smoked. No question about it; Mike Brissett got it exactly right—there's nothing else like it...that I've ever smoked, at least.

I'm gonna review the stuff after I finish the bag. For now, I think it's one o' them thar psychotropic weedages, or something...like it depends on what you're thinking at the time. If you think you like it, you really like it. If you think you don't like it, you can't stand it. If you're not sure, you're just confused as hell.

I still have many to try, but right now it's gotta be Boswell's Pennsylvania Dutch Treat. I'm pretty sure he blends this himself, but it might be a bulk from someone else. But I don't care, I reach for it more than not.... I need to order about a pound or so soon.... almost out.

There is no way I could narrow it down to one, really, but I'll go ahead and say Haddo's Delight (aged at least one year). Old Joe Krantz, Morley's Best, and Odyssey are all pretty much tied for second, depending on my mood.

A year ago I would have said Dunhill Nightcap.

Currently though it would be GH Sweet Rum Twist, followed closely by a whole bunch of other lakelands.

Next year, who knows?

Continually discovering great new blends is a good thing, right?

You are obviously a man of discriminating taste. Cool

Gotta be Sam Gawaith's Squadron Leader, favorite by far now that the producer of my favorite local blend is gone.

Oh yes, Squadron Leader. I am trying to lay in a good stash of this wondefully lat-rich weed. (picked up two tins from Knox just the other day). It is rapidly becoming a go-to English for me.

I still have to go with Westminster as #1 currently though.

I'll have to say that right now I have a new no. 1. It's Peter Stokkebye Balkan Supreme, a blend that supposedly is similar to the old Balkan Sobranie. It's been so long since I had any Sobranie that I can't make that comparison but will say this is one darned fine tobacco.

Although not readily available any more, I would have to say GLP Mephisto. Razz

I'd have to say Pease's Tribute for OoP.

Then in production Haddo's Delight by the Dark Lord.

My ATF is Pease Renaissance. I've been stockpiling it for several years. But the prices are now prohibitive.

I've also been looking for a substiture for awhile, with limited success.

I have recently been smoking Kensington. Very nice.
