    Red Virginias

    Yep it’s great, have pounds of it festering in Mylar somewhere

    Virginia is for Lovers......

    Union Square is my staple Virginia blend but It’s heavy on the reds which don’t always agree with everyone. Capstan Blue, Sutliff iterations and Peterson flakes, both dark and light are very good.

    Drying out a Fresh Tin: Your Method?

    I dry my tobacco in my pipes, generally ends up like fine white ash............

    A Match for Capstan Blue?

    Well it's a navy blend so you could use Tobacco Reviews | Search Tobaccos - https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/search/ and type in Navy and be over whelmed for reading. Also https://www.smokingpipes.com/tobacco/tinned/ has a tobacco search function that would serve you well.

    Royal Yacht Buzz

    It's a staple in my cellar but it definitely is polarising but hey as I have said in another thread I'm pretty accustomed to having a mouth full of cow s#$t too.

    Any Thoughts On C&D Redburn?

    It's nice and the topping is obvious but as said before it has a few rough notes in there. It softens if you leave it in a jar and let it get some air too.

    The Matrix is Designed so that Everyone Sees a Clue

    Well technically when you work with large animals as I do you nearly always end up with a mouth full of s$%t from splatter or from their tail whipping around and being covered in it, so yes. That said I'm a spit rather than swallow type of guy.

    I eat anything that moves and if it doesn't move I push it!

    Small, Medium, Large Tins Or Bulk Preference

    50's, 100's, 200's, bulk, I don't really care.

    With What are You Lighting Up?

    I use this a lot around the house and sheds but out in the paddock I have a trusty zippo.
