The last time I was in the UK I noticed they had Capstan and Three Nuns in the pouch (50g). Perhaps that's why those blends made this list; in their pouch forms. I was unimpressed with both. I stuck to St. Bruno, Condor, and Revor while puffing abroad. There's been many a comparison between ODF...

Thought you all would get a kick out of these. I'm not sure which I like better.

Early mornings and late work days call for more Revor plug. This time in a Tilshead churchwarden-ish cutty.

Early morning calls for some Revor Plug in a Kaywoodie Drinkless Rusticated Apple.

Blackpool in a Peterson Irish Harp XL02.

Chelsea Morning in a large Custom-Bilt billiard.

Ciao Rob and thanks. I think our climate lends itself beautifully to a bowl of baccy. Especially in another month or so.

Flying Dutchman in a Markus Fohr 8" black clay pipe.

Troost Special in a very small, bent, no-name Meer apple.

Cheers mate! You Brits keep blending that Revor Plug and I'll keep smoking it.  :D 

Troost Special Cavendish in a Relief Grain strait acorn from the late 40s.

Cheers indeed. I just don't know what to do with all this sunshine. I had a cigar the other day I was so confused.

Thank you sir! I think that might be it, at least in its current incarnation. I recall that the German site I viewed about 3 years ago only carried it in the pouch and the large tin as well. Shipping costs from Deutschland kept me puffing away on Troost Special.

Last I heard it was available in Germany, though that was a few years ago. I ran across some on ebay recently though this tin is from the 80's (at 2.80 Fr. I'm guesstimating). The tin art on mine is the same as the one you pictured.

It's been 2 years since I've been able to smoke inside (for various good reasons). I'm breaking the trend in my new woodworking shop with some Flying Dutchman in a James Upshall churchwarden. Raja the cat agrees, the room note was worth the price.
