    Looking for a favorite tobacco

    How about "Grandma's Apple Pie" for a blend name? As good as Vermont Meat Candy, I'm sure. No ghosts when I tried Nightcap. I have never smoked anything but Captain Black in that pipe and this is the first time I noticed that particular aroma coming from a blend. Nightcap has both Latakia...
