I only have one tin of Edgeworth Sliced left. I really don't want to open it, so I need an alternative that is similar. I actually started smoking Stonehaven instead and a lot of it. The problem is that I am sick of spending hours looking for scant quantities of Stonehaven. What I need is a recommendation for a bulk alternative to Edgeworth sliced. I want to buy several pounds of it and put it up for the future. Any suggestions?
Edgeworth Sliced ... 1 tin left S.O.S

Poss. Wessex Burley Slices or MacBaren ODF flake, the ODF I know you can buy in one pound boxes, I believe that the Wessex Burley only comes in 2oz tins, however I think that the Wessesx Burley Slices is closer to Edgeworth Sliced than ODF.
Philobeddoe is right. And I would recommend Wessex Burley Slices over ODF judging by your personal taste, though I like both very much. You could always try Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match which is sold by P&C. It's less strong than the slices, but there is a little similarity in taste.
Over the years I have become more of a flake smoker. Any input on some of the C & D offerings? I would buy the Wessex if it came in bulk. MacBaren's is a no go for me. There is something about the way they process their stuff that doesn't sit well with my body chemistry.
C&D's burley flakes are all rather strong and unlike ES. I don't believe those are in bulk anyway. I cant think of one C&D flake that fits what you are looking for. If you're insisting on bulk flakes, you likely will find it hard to get what you're looking for. The Wessex isn't quite like ES, but it's about the closest being made today. If you don't want to buy that because of the expense, then I can't recommend Solani Aged Burley Flake, because it's not cheap either. It's really good, though. Don't know what else to tell you.
I would not worry about that body chemistry thing when it comes to Old Dark Fired. A completely different aninal. One fine Burley Flake. Well worth a try IMHO.
