My tobacco preferences—
No Latakia, no aromatics, no burley dominant blends.
I smoke predominantly Virginia based blends (red, brown, stoved [heavily stoved]), though I tend to avoid those that are majority bright Virginia.
I do love orientals (just no Latakia).
Perique is totally fine, but I tend to avoid “perique bonbs”.
I like flakes, plugs & cakes, ribbons, shags, broken flakes… I smoke all the cuts.
If my WAYS posts are researched, you’ll see a LOT of C&D Steamworks (as that is my daily morning smoke), and a lot of McClelland.
I certainly don’t expect to be gifted any McC blends, but that’s a legit indicator of my tastes.
Honestly, within my parameters, I’ll be happy with a wide variety of possibilities.
Easy, right?!
