Your Own "Best" Tobacco

[PApiper63]

OK, I recently made a post that was entitled Your Own "Worst" Tobacco and lots of people replied, and I got some great answers.
Now I am interested in your best tobacco! If you found out that you were going to be stranded on a desert island for 10 years and could take an endless supply of only one tobacco what would you take?
Mine would probably be a Boswell's Military Force.

McClelland's Samovar is my desert island tobacco.

Carolina Red Flake w/Perique it just hits home for me. I know it's nothing fancy, the regular CRF isn't bad but not the same.

I have lots of McClellands and i just don't get the attraction i haven't tried them all but several years of the Xmas Cheer and Anni blends, some the others, same with Esoterica. Glad i a VA / VaPer smoker without complicated needs.

If it was 10 years on an island with only one, I might go for something like St Bruno.

Today, I'd say Viprati.

SG Cabbies Mixture/Roll Cut. It is essential to my continued well-being. Despite having over a pound in the cellar, I spooked myself last night and bought another 8 tins (the 250g bags are out of stock and discount on 5 tins ended, worryingly - it's running out aieeee run amok naked etc.)

Drew Estate Gatsby Luxury Flake.

Of the currently available blends I'd say Mr Pease's Telegraph Hill, I really miss McClelland's Dark Star though.

 

[Waning Embers]

Straight Yenidje

 

[Grangerous]

Must I ? Granger is the Acadia.

Without question c&d dark burley. I cannot find anything I like even half as much. It remains my favorite year after year

 

[johnnyflake]

Sutliff version of "Walnut", as the original is not available!

 

[Cracklin' Tobaccy]

Mac Baren Old Dark Fired

 

[gkunkel]

Lane 1Q for sure!

 

[dottlejockey]

Yikes. Tough question. Too many "favorites." Maybe Semois? Aged Burley Flake? Wessex Burley Slices? Edgeworth? I could go on and on, but if it was only one, it'd likely be burley of some sort. Still find it the most satisfying. If, on the rare day, i don't have time for multiple bowls that'd be what i'm reaching for.

C&D Exclusive.

Maybe I’m just cheap, but I think LBF is my top pick.

 

[sablebrush52]

This is easy to answer.

I’d quit pipe smoking.

There isn’t a blend made today that wouldn’t lose its appeal over time.

1792 probably.

I base this on tins collected 'before" the last 5-8 years...I don't recall honestly.

I have heard varying reports that it is now less aromatic, presumably has less tonquin than was applied when I cellared most of my tins. I hope that's not true because I'd prefer not to ration what I have...

 

[Sobrbiker]

I have to take 4-5 blends in mini tins to work with me, and everyday think I should’ve brought something else along, so….
Match Victorian, Sixpence, DarkBirdsEye or 1792 are current faves.
