Which tobacco to open next?

olderthandirt · Oct 7, 2011

Been working at trimming down the number of different baccy's I had open at once, I don't know why really, seemed like the thing to do.

Anyway the smoking cabinet is getting a little sparse now as it's gone from 25 open jars to 15 (-;

So I was wondering what ya'll would do in this situation.
Of the following smokes, these are all new to me by the way, which one would you be most inclined to open next?
AC Peterson/PS - Escudo

Erinmore - Erinmore Flake

G.L. Pease - Key Largo

G.L. Pease - Triple Play

G.L. Pease - Westminster

Gawith Hoggarth - Louisiana Perique Flake

Hearth&Home - Black House

Hearth&Home - Marquee: Sweet&Savory

Dude... You can only open one? I've heard great things about them all and the Key Largo has been something ive been eyeballing for a while.

olderthandirt · Oct 7, 2011

hehe

I could open more than one, as much as I enjoy variety I more than likely will!

Key Largo is DELICIOUS....that being said I'm quite biased as 98% of what I smoke is by Pease. Triple Play is also good, but I only had it at the Chicago Show for two bowls....haven't opened my own tin yet (although it's sitting there, wondering how long it has until I do....)
Definitely take that last bits of your tins and combine them tho! I did this recently with about 5 or 6 different tins and called it Mystery Tobacco. It was always enjoyable, although sometimes it was probably only enjoyable because it was "fun" to smoke mystery tobacco, and had i bought that flavor of blend else where wouldn't have been a fan, HOWEVER, about 3-5 times throughout every bowl of mystery i had there where a few moments of "WOW - I could smoke this every day!" It's also particularly fun because the flavor of your bowls change a lot while smoking them...it's quite unique!

Escudo! You wont be disappointed. :puffpipe:

olderthandirt · Oct 7, 2011

Well, that's 2 for Key Largo, 1 for Escudo. More! I need more (-:

For certain cagon, that's a standard practice! Once a I have less than a bowl remaining in a jar it gets put into the "Scraps Jar". The occasional dottle as well as bits from the mixing bowl goes in also.

Does make for some unique smokes (-;

BLACKHOUUUUUUUUUUSE!

Escudo

So I was wondering what ya'll would do in this situation.

I try to balance-out my rotation between the different blend types: Va., VaPer, Oriental, Va. Flake, Burley, Cavendish, etc.

So when I have a particular appetite for something I always have a representative type at the ready.

ESCUDO !

spartan · Oct 7, 2011

Escudo. I havn't tried it. just like the way it sounds.

thesmokindragon · Oct 7, 2011

Escudo (went through two tins in almost a blink) and Blackhouse is fantastic as well

nikko · Oct 7, 2011

wow, those are all blends I want to try, less black house, because I have one open now. so, my vote is for black house, loved it.

lonestar · Oct 7, 2011

My Portuguese friend informed me its pronounced Eshoodo, means "Shield" in portuguese and was the name for their currency before they adopted the euro.

Smoke it !

olderthandirt · Oct 7, 2011

Eshoodo leading with 5, 2 each for Key Largo and Black House, 1 shout out for Sweet & Savory.

As do I cortez.

Though I do get carried away with one particular type occasionally. VaPers was a crazy one for awhile with like 7 different ones open at the same time. Comparison tasting, uh-huuh!
Aside from that which of the above might you be inclined to open?

spartan · Oct 7, 2011

Yeah.... but this is America and we will pronounce it Es-Koo-Dough til the day we die. : puffy

:
Cause even if you say it correctly to the tobacconist behind the counter he'll give you that look... 8O
P.S. There should really be a polling mechanism for these forums just for this kind of thread... But I guess there is a dedicated posting area for such ideas...

Just to be another devil on dirts shoulder, I'd recommend the Gawith Lousiana flake.

romeowood · Oct 7, 2011

I'd be hard-pressed in a choice like that, OTD. If you haven't tried Escudo yet, you owe it to yourself to open it immediately and consume it all. Barring that, I'd close my eyes and pick one at random.

rigmedic1 · Oct 7, 2011

Having only tried the Black House, and that only yesterday, I would be equally perplexed. So, go buy a case of small mason jars and a marks-a-lot.....

olderthandirt · Oct 7, 2011

Escudo still leading with 6, Key Largo and Black House remain at 2 each, 1 shout out for Sweet & Savory and G&H Louisiana

buy a case of small mason jars and a marks-a-lot.....

lol, your no help (-:

But... I do have plenty of empty jars and labels.......
