Top 5 tobaccos

[Stogiegila]

I've tried searching this without success. I can't believe I couldn't find a post like this. This was always huge on the cigar boards.

So what are your current top 5 tobaccos?

So far for me in no special order and considering many of my old ones are no longer available:

McClelland Old Dog
Butera Pelican
4 Noggins Bald Headed Teacher
GL Pease Chelsea Morning
Dunhill MM 965

No fair any of you guys that have huge cellars full of discontinued stuff like MM965 :tongue:

do you do anything special with your opening night? (dry it out or something?) i've got some and i haven't been able to get a good smoke out of it yet, still bitter and harsh (even out of that miracle pipe!)

 

[Muddler]

FVF, Old Gowrie, Laurel Heights, Westminster, Embarcadero. That'll do for now.

OK I know I've been out of it for a while (10 years actually) but I can't make out some of the abbreviations Piet:
FVF
OGS :suspect:

At least I know OJK = Old Joe Krantz :lol:

 

[Muddler]

Piet's out this evening, so let me step in.

FVF - Sam Gawith Full Virginia Flake
OGS - Orlik Golden Sliced

Both great Va's, but FVF, being the best tobacco in the world, is of course better.

 

[Stogiegila]

Thanks Muddler

 

[Cigar2you]

Pretty much if it burns and tastes good I'll smoke it

Virginia
Perique
Syrian Latakia
Cyprian Latakia
Burley

Oh yeah,Orientals, Kentucky, and even some Maryland Tobacco


:lol!:

Bru, you might try rubbing it out and then letting it set for a half hour first. (Do you know how many times I had to rewrite this sentence before I could post it?) :lol!:

Also I've only smoked this in my well seasoned 30 year old pipes so I don't know how it would do in a new one.
I haven't noticed any harshness but it could be the nicotine, it is straight virginias.

I wouldn't give up on just yet.

Ditto that!

BTW, Dover is a Legend too Bruins!!!!
What ever you do, Don't give him your mail addy. He will bomb you with baccy that will screw up your entire tobacco education. Dover introduced me to my now beloved AM pipe and McC. 2015!!!!

You guys are bad!!! Especially the ones that store stuff up for winter, what are you grizzly bears or something. I buy a few tins and begin to smoke them immediately. I was the same way with my cigars. I can't age anything.....I need it now.

No fair to you guys that still have stock of stuff that is no longer available :tongue:

Dover, I'm staying away from you before you get me into trouble. :lol:
