[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 16235, member: 192"] I always read with interest the topics about favorite blends. It's my main source to decide whether or not to try new blends. The thing is I never see anyone discussing my favorite blenders. Perhaps my tastes are off, but here they are. [b]Robert McConnell[/b] This is my favorite brand, bar none. There is nothing not to like. Oriental is simply outstanding. Scottish Blend, Scottish Cake, Scottish Flake, and Special London Mature are fabulous. The only ones that are iffy are the Latakia Flake (makes me queasy) and the Rich Dark Virginia (tongue bite if not careful), but everything else is simply exceptional. If I were to go to a deserted isle and could only take one brand, this would be it. [b]Fribourg & Treyer[/b] If you like sweet Virginia flakes, these are possibly the best. Special Brown Flake is the highlight, but almost any of the other ones are excellent. And they age extremely well (I have 8 and 9 year-old square tins that never lost the vacuum nor got rust). Unfortunately, their English blends are only average. [b]James J. Fox[/b] Banker’s Blend (my favorite blend with cigar leaf) and Dorisco Mixture are simply unsurpassable. So, go out and try some of these. You won't regret it, or your money back (not). [/QUOTE]
