    Dunhill Nightcap

    English with a capital L(atakia). Pretty thick, heavy, spicy. I get more pepper than nut from the perique and that's just a tiny bit as is, but that's just me. A lot of people think very highly of it, many use it as their gold standard (and even more so before Orlik started making it). I've...

    My first couple of bowls of Full Virginia Flake

    my first FVF from a fresh tin smelled exactly of the days when I used to clean out horse stalls. I needed it to get some age, air out and dry up a bit before that sweetness came through.

    trying to find a date on these tins...

    I guess I've been spoiled by buying tobacco that has a date stamped clearly on the tin. Well, I tried some new ones (new to me, that is) and I am having a hard time finding any date on the tins. I wondered if any of them have dates encoded near the UPC or something. Davidoff Medallions 50g -...

    what is going on?

    I am wondering if you've ever tried an English blend before, and if not, if it isn't residual flavors from that still lingering in your mouth. I find that a good strong Latakia can influence my taste buds for 24 hours or more.

    I would constantly miss PMs if I didn't set up my profile to email me when I get one. If you haven't done that, maybe you should consider it. You can find it in Profile > Preferences > Notify by mail when a new message has arrived in your in-box : Yes

    Results of the VA and VaPer recommendations

    Some members expressed an interest in this, so here are the results... informal as they may be. I pulled 207 recommendations (so far) for VA or VaPer blends from past BoB posts. There were a total of 68 different blends recommended. These are the 13 that were recommended most frequently in...

    Idea for a "Recommendations" resource

    my bad, I thought he meant me.

    Idea for a "Recommendations" resource

    well just to be clear to you and anyone else, that is what "garbage in garbage out" means to ME in relation to this idea, this instance (as I said). I am not characterizing how you feel about BoB, only what I feel about a "garbage in garbage out" philosophy applied to this idea. As far as I can...

    Idea for a "Recommendations" resource

    the garbage in garbage out principle, used in this instance, seems to be implying that the opinions of seasoned members of BoB are just garbage. That's the garbage in, and me making note of those opinions and organizing them would be the garbage out. Therefore no one should ask which blend is a...

    Idea for a "Recommendations" resource

    ok, it's definitely not my fault.

    Idea for a "Recommendations" resource

    I think people got the wrong idea right away. maybe it's my fault, I tend to use a lot of words, and people tend to skim, which is not a great combination. whatevs. someday soon I'll have a couple of hours to myself and I have a good idea how I will spend them. if that helps anybody in the...

    Idea for a "Recommendations" resource

    LL, I'm being as polite as I can, but I honestly, truly, think you don't understand what I am wanting to do. And that's fine. You can stop crapping on it. Computers have nothing to do with it! AI tasting has nothing to do with it! IT has nothing to do with it. My level of experience has nothing...

    Idea for a "Recommendations" resource

    Yeah, I think what I'll do is compile what I can from past posts and then see if that sparks interest. If not, no biggie.
