[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 549827, member: 1211"] The best I've had since maybe 2005(?) is Beck's Ol' Limey Bastard. Here's where it gets sticky, so proceed with caution. I was gifted some, thought very highly of it, but never got around to ordering more for myself because I so rarely feel like English anymore. Because nobody talks about it, I've questioned if it was actually Beck's, if it was maybe mislabeled, or something. Not that my tastes are everybody's tastes, but for it to get no lip service, I'm bewildered by my limited great experience. It's really the only tobacco since the 80s and 90s that has felt like it was from the 80s or 90s. For me, with certain tobaccos unavailable anymore, English really is the type of tobacco most significantly hit by the lesser bug. My tastes have changed as well, so there's that too. I thought the Park-Lane Bengal Slices were pretty darn good too. The best of the Bengal attempts. For me, for sure. I just did a search, and I'm not seeing a Park Lane webstore. It's been a while since I checked in, because the last I noticed, it was like $80/LB + shipping. I hope they're still in business. [/QUOTE]
