[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 461599, member: 1211"] My memory is a little hazy at the moment, but I tried Blackpoint and Abingdon in the same week. I can't remember which one I liked better, but I did like one better than the other. Neither blew my doors off. Just found these quotes, which is probably why I picked them both up at the same time. BIG, BIG fan of 759. Smoked more of it than any other tobacco. GL Pease - on Blackpoint and Abingdon "When I was developing the Classic Collection, I was visiting a friend's shop. He opened an ancient tin of 759, and I was seriously smitten. I'd smoked quite a few tins of that wondrous weed in the past, but never a tin that old. When I stuck my nose in it, I was treated to an amazing aroma. The VAs had fermented beautifully, and presented an almost perique-like character, though no perique was present in the original blend. When I went home that night, I started working on what was to become Blackpoint. It captured my impressions of that tin quite well, and has become one of my personal faves." "Abingdon, on the other hand, was more an attempt to capture some of the truer essence of later examples of the 759 that I sampled. I don't know which one will, over time, deliver a closer approximation to the original, but they're both really nice blends, and satisfy my own cravings when I want something reminiscent of those beautiful black and gold tins."
