Was Gold Block a U.S. brand? What's in it? Mostly burley? Aromatic? Tell, tell.

It's fire!!!!................there used to be a classic mix in the U.K. using Gold Block and....erm......erm.............maybe condor....or St. Bruno.........I'm sure one of the members thats even older than me will chime in with the answer:)
 
Exactly. My first visual reaction was some dude chilling in bed shirtless mid-day, off work, with a chick reaching for his junk. That doesn't disuage me from buying said product....it's better than my actual day going on.
Ha ha, Warning this tobacco will give you a restful day with a babe resting her hand on your junk. ha ha.

until you get the back story. It's been so long he had to fake a terminal illness just to get a disinterested handy. And that's just sad.

Kind of reminds me of Black Death cigarettes. I heard Slash (from Gn’R) smoked them so I always wanted to try them. Only saw them once in New Hope, PA in the mid-late 90s.

I think me and a friend bought a pack of these a piece. They weren't too good. Real strong taste to them but I think I enjoyed them more towards the end of the pack. Grows on ya. Sad so many interesting smokes are gone now.
