[QUOTE="kxg, post: 552554, member: 4492"] I'm another one of those fellows who started pipe smoking in the early 1970's, probably late '71 or early '72 in my college years. Over the next decade and a half I accumulated four pipes and smoked aros that I picked up at the occasional visit to a B&M, of which the nearest was 70 miles away. I eventually migrated to heavy Lat blends and ended up smoking a lot of straight Lat. After that 15 years, I made a move to cigars, mostly as a matter of convenience. I stayed with cigars until July of 2018 when the boys over at the Badger & Blade Brown Leaf piqued my interest. I found SPC Potlatch on a deep sale and snapped off an 8oz can. It sounded like right where I left off 35 years ago and I was not disappointed. One of the fellows on that forum extolled the virtues of Escudo so that was my entry flake. And I liked it. PS LBF was next, and I liked it too, still do. The TAD was strong and I'm north of 100 blends in the cellar and smoking stock. I've not met many flakes I don't like but have been trying to slow down a bit on my purchases as I have more tobacco than I'm likely able to smoke in the next decade or so. Then again, lots more blends to try! [/QUOTE]
