[QUOTE="Sobranie759, post: 596983, member: 5586"] I have enjoyed pipe smoking and trying different blends for 60 years. The oldest tobaccos I have smoked include Balkan Sobranie cutter tops from the 1940's as well as Dunhill Blends from the 40's as well. I have been very fortunate to have smoked many a tin of Dunhill Full. My collection included cutter tops of the Dunhill line as well. I have mentioned some boutique blenders like Mel Feldman, Russ O, Joe Lankford as well as a few others. However, the aged and processed tobaccos from the great blending houses of England were the best in my opinion. Sobranie went through many iterations, however my favorites were the tins from the 60's and 70's. Today Germain makes some wonderful blends, although not easy to find. It is unfortunate that the prices for blends like Penzance are so high. I would purchase 8oz packages of Penzance for less than $30.00 10 years ago. If you are looking for some of the old time quality mixtures, consider today, Robert Lewis Tree mixture or Sillems London Mixture, Skiff mixture and Peterson Standard mixture. I enjoy the Blends from Ken Byron as well as the many wonderful Wilke Blends. Peretti in Boston is a wondferful blender. I love the "Omega" blend. Well I managed to ramble too much. I guess the answer is the very best blend I ever smoked is the one I am smoking tonight. If it feels right, tastes right then you have found it !!. Enjoy your pipes and tobaccos! [/QUOTE]
