[QUOTE="glpease, post: 153454, member: 18"] Bengal Slices was truly a remarkable tobacco, and one of very few I consider worthy of its reputation. In a way, I'm glad it didn't suffer the hideous transmogrification that some of the other "legendary" tobaccos did as a result of production transfers. Rather than screwing it up completely, morphing it into something completely unrecognizable as the original (as happened to the Sobranie blends under the mistreatment of Gallahers—the final product bore [i]no[/i] resemblance whatsoever to the original), the Danish production wasn't bad, at all. And, then, it disappeared. I don't know if was a lack of market interest, or an unwillingness to cheapen the recipe in order to make its continued production economically feasible, or some other reason, but it silently disappeared, and that was truly a shame. Nothing before or since has approached it, and, I have little confidence that anything ever will. [/QUOTE]
