    English blend recommendations

    English Blend Recommendations - All of them. Similar to Mississippi Mud in bulk? That's tough because MM doesn't have Virginia or orientals in it, which are usually the foundation of an English Blend. Haunted Pirateship might be worth a try. You mix 50/50 Haunted Bookshop with Pirate Kake and...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    Thanks! I'm not exactly sure, but @ssjones was the previous owner; so he might know the exact details.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    One of my favorite go-to classics in this Comoy's billiard. It's nice to have something to return to that's always reliable, always enjoyable. Sweet, refreshing, zesty, with just enough Latakia for interest. Can't ask for much more in a tobacco blend according to my tastes.

    Last tin of John Cotton's. Might need to grab some of the remaining Glasgow on P&C. RIP

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    Took a chance on the new Three Nuns in this Ropp Bulldog. I don't want to start a controversy before Christmas, but I actually really like this. I've never had any of the other incarnations, but judging it on its own merits I'd say this is an excellent smoke. Wife does not like the room note though.

    Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Tobacco - Restock purchases

    I'd say you got the king of the line with Dark Flake Aromatic, that stuff is unbelievably good. If you're sensitive to nicotine, I recommend taking it slow and smoking in a small bowl. Other than that Coniston Cut plug, Bosun, Mahogany, and Brown Flake Aromatic are all fantastic. I got my 3x...

    I Remember When..........

    I remember when the internet, sci-fi, fantasy, comic books, and video games were for nerds and definitely not cool; making them all much higher quality and intelligent rather than slop for the lowest common denominator.

    L.J. Peretti Yuletide 2025

    I've never had yuletide but it sounds great. My favorite Peretti blend is Original Mixture hands down. No Name, Blend DD, and English 110 are not far behind.

    Gawith and Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake Discontinued?

    Awesome, thank you very much for the quick response! I'll keep an eye out for it if it comes stateside. And I won't feel guilty smoking the rest of my stash...

    Gawith and Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake Discontinued?

    Apologies if this was already covered in another thread. Does anyone know if this has been cut from the G&H line? I know another Lakeland favorite of mine "Kendal Flake" was discontinued a bit back. I hope Ennerdale isn't the only sauced lakeland they're keeping. I get that they get some hate...
