   After going over my tasting notes for the last 30+ years, I've realized that several blends have similarities that remind me of other blends. I thought it might be fun to share a few of those and see what interesting connections the rest of you might have noticed. These aren't duplicates; they're just blends that share similar traits that made me think of another blend. If you like one, chances are you might also really enjoy the other.

   So, if you like:

   Balkan Sobranie - See what you think of McClelland's Grand Orientals: Yenidje Highlander
   GLPease Raven's Wing - Brebbia's Preludio Mixture No. 60
   McClelland's Anniversary - Rattray's Jocks Mixture
   Esoterica's And So to Bed - McClelland's Frog Morton on the Town
   Esoterica's Penzance - J.F. Germain's Special Latakia Flake
   Esoterica's Margate - CAO/Dan Tobacco's Gordon Pym

   Your thoughts?

   That's funny that Brian and I were just on the phone talking about making this a radio show segment.

   Balkan Sobranie - Dunhill 956 - Red Rapparee. Nowadays GLP Westminster.
   Dunhill Light Flake - Wessex Brown Flake - Germain's Brown.
   Erinmore Flake - try Dunhill Light Flake. Seriously. If you're a slow smoker, you will probably not even miss the trollop scent.

   Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake - GLP Westminster.

   All similarities are also jarring.

   rmbittner:

   OOPS! What I meant was G.L.Pease Union Square. Not Westminster.
   Sometimes the creosote invades the brain and causes confusing synapse firing.

   Here are a few more:
   Arcadia - Presbyterian.
   Dunhill 965 - Rattray's Accountants Mixture.
   Westminster - Three Oaks.
   MacBaren Virginia Flake - Orlik Golden Sliced.
   Escudo - Davidoff Flake Medallions.

   Regards,
