    Recommendations On What to Try

    Condor Green is an Aromatic and one which we don't see here in the US often. Try Orlik Mellow Mixture which is a good aromatic tobacco with mild flavoring but still has natural texture and burning characteristics.

    What Else Do You "Cellar"?

    Flakes of any kind. Tins seem to age best. Bulk stored in mason jars is good but a second choice. Blends I have in storage are McClelland Christmas Cheer and St James Flake. I also have some English blends from 2008 which I am going to sell. Dunhill and HH Syrian.

    Chicago Pipe Show 2020 Today!

    I opened a tin of Full Virginia Flake from Sam Gawith I purchased in 2008. Lots of plume/crystals, It has aged nicely. I have lots of tobacco from that Christmas purchase years ago.

    Battle Of The Bulk Virginias

    Sutliff 515 RC-1 and Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake. If you like perique and a little bc in there then you have my all time favorite, Lux Bullseye Flake. My recommendation is to age these tobaccos for a couple of years as the bulk blends tend to be fresh and green.
