Hi Guys,
I would like your recommendations for C&D Blends, irrespective of the tobacco family (Aromatic, English, VaPer, Burley, Cigar leaf based etc.)
My problem is they have so many blends in offering my brain just goes into overdrive and I end up with 300-400 dollar shopping cart.
Help a brother out. Please recommend me your top 3 C&D Blends.
Cheers,

Chris

"MY" top three are Capt. Bob's Blend, Mississippi Mud, Morning Drive Time. I keep all three on hand at all times.
Care to try before you buy?

aros: Autunm Evening & Gentleman Caller

Engligh: Mississippi Mud & Morely's Best

Crossovers: USS Mason & Two Friends English Chocolate

Cigar: Billy Budd
Their product list seems to be dramatically shortened since the merger with Laudisi so some people will be disappointed but it is understandable. Heck, I think I've only had 50 of their blends which is hardly a dent in the list.

I second papipeguy on Gentleman Caller (My favorite blend) and Autumn Evening. I also agree with him on Two Friends English Chocolate.

My top C&D blends are:
Bayou Morning, my favorite Virginia-Perique.
Three Friars, a great Virginia-Burley-Perique.
Haunted Bookshop, I have a love/hate relationship with this Burley Forward blend as the nicotine hit to me is excessive, but none the less, if you can handle a good dose of nicotine, it is a good Burley-Virginia-Perique, some would even call this a Burley-Perique-Virginia.

Just 3? Can't do it and omit such good blends:
Haunted Bookshop (Burley + VaPer)

Orion's Arrow bulk (Oriental + VaPer)

Bayou Morning (VaPer)

Night Train (VaBur + Perique)

(and Burley Flake #3, which, if you allow, will grow on you and become an obsession)
$300 - $400 shopping cart? Hah! In these parts that's called a charring light! :lol:
