Park Lane Red Paramour

[OwlTellYa]

In my introduction thread, someone recommended that I go to Park Lane Tobacco in Clifton Park, NY, since I live in the area. I went today and picked up some of their Red Paramour. Apparently they had discontinued the blend because the source of some of their tobaccos had gone out of business. But they have rebuilt it with substitutes, and it’s back. I’ve only started smoking a pipe this summer, so my comparison range is quite limited, but this was the most satisfying bowl I have smoked since I started. I’m not sophisticated enough to give you a run down, but I know I liked it!

It is a wonderful thing when you find a blend you enjoy and can source it locally.

I am in the unenviable position of having to find a replacement—Park Lane no longer sells this blend. I have tried many other Virginia blends, but none have tasted like Red Paramour so far. Anyone who knows the Park Lane blend, can you suggest a similar blend?
