    Dunhill

    I have to go with Nightcap and Dunhill's Standard. They do the trick night and day for me, when I smoke Dunhill.

    Kick in the head tobacco

    Hey Rev! I want to suggest Five Brothers also. Inexpensive and strong enough to make one consider changin' their religion.

    Granger

    I'm with Cooper. Granger, many years ago was awesome to me. Could smoke it all day and a mean all day with the pipe in my teeth a very good portion of the day. Hmph! Tried that a year or so ago. It was like a mouthful of wasps. Damned shame to it used to be really good stuff.

    Solani Aged Burley Flake-Fold or Rub

    For Solani ABF I find that for me, rubbing out completely and drying a bit produces all the flavor the tobacco has to offer. It just seems to ignite everything at once, full rich, and a little powerful. A great evening smoke but it's great anytime really. Some days I'll rub out a few flakes at...

    Are tins fit for ageing?

    Tins for aging? NOPE! but that's just me talkin'

    I hate when that happens.

    Wouldn't it be something if it turned out to be something you were gonna label as 'junk'?

    Is this the end of the world?

    "It's stupid, to think one thing dressed so similar can be so different with the right poise and coloration, while fooling common sense in the process. " Kyle , if you put lipstick on a pig....it's still a pig. Rev, maybe take all that you mentioned about and reverse that process. In no time I...

    ...prince albert

    No shame in my game! Prince Albert was, is and always will be the Prince of the cheapies. And, for some reason iI keep a pouch of PA in my truck, car, sock drawer, and in my lockbox at work. Some days I wonder why. I do have a slew of Solani blends,Silver Flake and ABF, and some Pease blends...

    Wessx Burley Sliced

    Wessex Burley Slice is AWESOME!! Man it's got to be ther smooooothest burley there is. Absolutely no bite and a gentle subtle flavor when smoked eeeasy. And I say it that way because if smoked more aggressively it's still AWESOME! I have trouble holding on to some long enough to say anything...

    What are you listening to?

    I may have missed something and if I did please let me know. But, why is there so much blank space in Dutch's posts in all these pages?

    MB Old Dark-Fired

    I was heavily anticipating this blend form MacBarens. I did smoke up the whole tin. I smoke a good bit of Solani ABF, Wessex Burley Slice, and Irish Flake. I don't feel that Old Dark Fired measures up to them very high. HOWEVER! ODF IS a fantastic offering from MacBaren's in that it seems to be...

    Mac Baren Honey & Chocolate

    Oh my, that title sounds like a good woman! Someone here mentioned H&C's "rich and sweet charm". Man you can't describe it any better than that in my opinion! I first picked up a tin of this on the name alone aside from the fact that I do like both honey and chocolate. But in a tobacco...
