[QUOTE="dean73, post: 52340, member: 488"] 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. Dean [/QUOTE]
