If you could choose one tobacco, what is your desert island tobacco at the moment? Obviously our tastes change often and there are new blends coming out all the time that capture our interests. However, if you were to be to bring an infinite supply of tobacco, which would it be? Which tobacco do you keep grabbing for? I think currently (subject to change obviously), would be Irish Flake. I'm typically not a fan of tobaccos with toppings, but the licorice type topping seems to marry all the tobaccos quite nicely. There is just enough flavor to keep me interested and it contains strength level I enjoy.

What's the difference between Vanilla Roll Cake and Vanilla Cream?
Vanilla Cream is mostly Virginia, with maybe a little burley, and a topping like vanilla pudding.
The Roll Cake is mostly Virginia, with a little DFK, with a topping that reminds me of Play-Doh. I bought a pound when it first came out and don't reach for it often. I do like it, but I think it needs a little more burley to give it a bass note. It seems unbalanced to me as is. But Mac Baren makes great roll cakes, and stuff in general.
