    Samuel Gawith Majorly Different

    Well, since this thread got brought back, i will just like to give an update, since the batch in the OP is almost a year old, and i still have about 4 ounces of it. It got much darker in color in that year, and its def majorly different, then prior aged 1792. I am not saying its worst, just...

    Did Planta Buy Germains?

    My friend contacted Planta and they got back to him. The verdict is, No.7 and Celebration are manufactured in both Jersey Isles and in Germany. The three flakes special, brown, and latakia are only made at Germaines factory, and Planta imports them into Germany to distribute.

    Anniver Cake

    If you are looking for fig flavor, keep your eye out for when Rattray's ships. Marlin Flake is pure fig, so is McConnells Scotish Flake.

    Did Planta Buy Germains?

    I would love to know how the Planta Version compares or differs from Germains version. Has anybody smoked them side by side?

    Did Planta Buy Germains?

    Yes, but the confusing part is that Germains does blend and manufacture. Hearth & Home does not. Its weird that the top tier Germain products is, or is now, or always was a Planta product, with completly different source leaf then Germains factory.

    Did Planta Buy Germains?

    So Medium, Brown, and Special Latakia Flake, are not made by Germains? Im totally confused, those are the top 3 tier Germain Blends. The Planta line up, shows they make those blends for Germains, not just distribute.

    Did Planta Buy Germains?

    Looking at the line up of Planta, i see that Germains Blends are listed. Has Planta always made these Germains blends? or is this new? http://www.planta-tabak.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Sortiment-2018-19_Pfeifentabak.pdf

    A Nic-bomb replacement for Dunhill Nightcap

    Rattray's Black Mallory if you can score some. It might even be more nic heavy then Nightcap in my opinion. Its a great replacement blend to try.

    I said it before and i will say it again. The amount of aged unicorns im finding on Long Island from my motorcycle hunt, is getting out of hand. I am picking up an original 14oz can of Holiday Pipe Mixture tomorrow. It is true, dont be lazy and check your B&M's. I dont mean the one 5 miles from...

    TP has Germain and Esoterica

    A lot of these hard to find blends you dont find, they find you. I was lucky to find 4 tins of 2006 Penzance at a lotto store sitting dusty on a shelf. And after smoking numerous bowls of it, it is 100% the most over rated blend ever. I could not find anything unique about it. It was just a...

    Also found a full 14oz can of Holiday Pipe Mixure, not the Excursion. It looked in decent condition, but was old looking. He wanted 40$ for it, i didn't buy it, i offered 30$ didn't take it.

    The hunt continues. Today's motorcycle ride landed me at a B&M on the North Shore of Long Island, and i bought this 8oz bag of McClelland Townsman Cavendish Blue. I don't know anything about this blend, besides saying maple on the cover, which is good for me. This will be my fall smoking blend...
