[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 277379"] Smoked Codger Burleys (mostly Granger) back when they were good (1960s). Tried tins of Balkan Sobranie for the heck of it every once in a while, and always wondered why they even made the stuff. First tin of non-Burley was Balkan Sobranie Virginian Nr. 10 in my first non-news stand pipe (1973). It was true love at first encounter. With that as the standby I'd naively expected would always be around, tried various others just to see what they were like (Rattrays back when Rattray made it, Dunhills from Dunhill, Three Nuns, Presbyterian -- the usual suspects). Meh . . . When BSVa10 went extinct (during a pipe hiatus), the search began, already pretty much narrowed-down to Virginia flakes. There are people who seem to like nearly everything. And, if nothing ever whacks them upside the head with how mind-numbingly, horizon-expandingly good it is, they'll be generalists. Others find themselves centered, non-specifically, in genres (Englishes, VaPers, Burleys &c.) and rotate through these. It's ultimately a matter of what flips your switch. :face: [/QUOTE]
