Anyone else smoking Classic Samsun? I just got it on Friday and spend the weekend trying it. I think the VA/oriental combination is a winner.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through my first tin of Wessex Burley Slice -- what a great tobacco. It is all burley in the best possible way: mild tasting, very faintly sweet, nutty-cocoa flavors, toasty aroma, thick smoke, excelent burning, generous nicotine kick. It has been a while since I had...
