Honey and chocolate was one of the nastiest blends I have ever tried. Couldn't even finish a bowl of it without feeling ill. Still have a pretty close to full 100g tin of the stuff going to waste.

Yeah pylorns it seems to be a Marmite blend. Don't tell anyone but I don't like Frog Morton Cellar (shhhh). I was going to chuck it but will hang on to it now in case anyone is after some. Might be a tad dry but not so much that it will be ruined.

Mac Barens has many admirers, though I have never gotten into their blends. The Navy Mix is one of

the few blends which I have tweaked and dried and aged and mixed with others, and never found so

good. My interpretation was they they had put together too many different tobaccos and cancelled out

the virtues of most or all of them. Maybe I will now retire my tin to the compost. That one I won't miss.

I am a fan of Burley London Blend, although I don't smoke it often. It is a good solid smoke. I guess I'll try to put a few more tins in the cellar.

I wonder if "discontinued" means discontinued production, or discontinued import to US? Mac Baren's site doesn't have any mention of this.
I personally like HH Mature VA, and would be sad to see it go.

I think it might be worth picking up some Mature Virginia and Burley Blend for the cellar. Don't smoke em often, but if they will no longer be available, should get some for the future.
