Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

[WVOldFart]

With so many blends not being produced, which ones do you miss the most. For me it is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed and Hines Mixture. I still have a few ounces of Hines Mixture and probably 12 oz. of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match. Unfortunately, once they are smoked there is no more stocking up.

Scottish Nuns and State Express Roundells St. Bruno's as well.

When are we starting from?

Not only are there too many for me to list, but there are also the blends that, although they technically still exist, it's in name only, not in fact. In other words, blends that have been butchered into oblivion.

(CoughCoughSTGcoughcough...)

Ah, but if you must have an answer, my top three right now are Plumcake, Burley London Blend, and Newminster 400.

Never enough plumcake

Honestly I hadn't tried any Mac Baren blends until I heard the news, and I ended up really liking Scottish Mixture and 7 Seas Regular. I planned ahead and stocked up on both after only a few smokes, though.

 

[sablebrush52]

State Express London Mixture, Bell’s Three Nuns, Sobranie 759, Copes and A & C Petersen Escudo, Savinelli Doblone d’Oro as it was originally formulated, HH Arcadian Perique, HU Director’s Cut as it was originally formulated, HU Makhuwa as it was originally formulated, GL Pease Renaissance, McClelland 5100, 2015, 2010, Grand Orientals, and SO MANY others…

Not necessarily a blend but more blending stock, I miss Sutliff’s RC-515. I use it for my personal home blends as a base Virginia. I have a limited amount now and trying to save that as best as possible. Second is a blend and that is Sutliff’s Cringle Flake. I enjoyed getting the various yearly iterations. I still hope C&D could do something similar with both mentioned above. I think Low County’s Carolina Christmas is probably the closest well to a Cringle Flake replacement.

The blends from Chief Catoonah and Steven Books.

 

[Streeper541]

I miss a few, one that comes to mind right now is Cockstrong.... I'm into the bottom half of my last 2oz tin.

I’ve only been smoking a pipe for a few years, so I haven’t tried all the blends that went away before my time.

#1 tobacco that I will miss is Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match. I’m so glad I stocked up on it.

#2 is actually still being made, but apparently it is no longer the same since STG took over. It’s Mac Baren Scottish Mixture. Unfortunately, I only have a couple of tins of this one left.

 

[Scottmi]

Dunhill 3-year Matured.

 

[Michigan_Bill]

My favorite is Orlik Mellow Mixture. Good thing there are a bunch of tins stored away.

 

[jguss]

Compton's of Galashiels Macedonian Mixture and Mixture #10

 

[Bbailey324]

Dunhill Durbar and London Mixture were frequently in my rotation. Escudo from years back. GLP Renaissance and Raven's Wing were regulars as well. Edgeworth was a good one too, a favorite when in the mood for a burley blend.

 

[khiddy]

Another vote for Sutliff 515RC-1 Matured Red VA. And Sutliff 507-S Stoved VA. Nothing like them on the market for blending stock.

But the one I miss the most as a smoker is Mac Baren HH Rustica. No major blender is doing anything at scale with Rustica leaf right now, which is a dang shame. I am glad I socked away several pounds of HH Rustica, but it’s not going to last forever.

 

[KingPiper]

Luckily I stocked up enough that I haven’t had to miss anything yet but I know a few I will miss when I run out. Hh Burley Flake, Cobblestone Chess Knight and Hiking.

In no particular order, just off the top of my head--

McClelland Bombay Court
McClelland 2030 Balkan
McClelland 2040
Edgeworth Ready Rubbed
Barking Dog (last available iteration was from House of Windsor in the mid-00's)
Butera Kingfisher
Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky.

Bengal Slices would have made the list, but a suitable doppelganger is still available, and I'm still stacked 8 sealed tins deep from the James B. Russell version from15 years ago.
