Hello gents!
I have not posted in a while. Previously I had asked a few questions about English blends.
Well, I made a trip to Chicago (I am currently living in Tokyo right now) and visited Iwan Ries Co.
It was heaven!!! I was able to purchase many of the English and other blends that a few of you have suggested. I bought a couple of Petersons too. (They were half price.)
Here are the tabaccos I bought:
Frog Morton
Frog Morton On the Town
Maltese Falcon (GL Pease)
Barbary Coast (GL Pease)
Penzance
Plum Cake (Mac Barren)
London Mixture (Dunhill)
So far I have tried:
Frog Morton - very strait forward, not too complex...good baccy, but it can get boring.
Frog Morton On the Town - I like it better than FM... a little more complex. I have too smoke it a bit more.
Plum Cake - nice blend...I have too smoke it a bit more to give an honest oppinion. (I only have tried 3 or 4 bowls)
London Mixture - it is OK. I think Dunhill is a bit over rated in my book. I like FMOTT better.
I really wanted to get Westminster by GL Pease, but they were sold out. I was lucky and did not have to pay any crazy tax when I brought everything back to Japan!!!
Thank you guys for all of the suggestions. I look forward to opening a few more tins.
