This year has been dominated by Ravenwood blends.
I have smoked through two tins each of Hobbit's Leaf and Swiftcurrent Lake.
I have put a serious dent in a tin of Moose Marmalade and am currently enjoying Bristlecone quite a bit.

I also acquired 100g of McClellan's #5110 and try as I might to be frugal, I've smoked a quarter of it.

 

[Sturmgewehr]

Carter Hall, Prince Albert, or Captain Black Royal. I love the stuff. Uncomplicated goodness. During spring, summer, and fall I rarely hit the pipe but over the winter months I'll smoke a bowl every evening with a cup of coffee. Yummy!

 

[Fuelman]

Mine were, Tombigbee , Mac Barren HH Old Dark Fired, Cowboy Coffee, and East India Company Cellar Reserve.

Although I have a few small jars with some other blends, I'm a man of simple tastes (and a somewhat cheap). My three usual -
1. Lane 1-Q
2. Carter Hall
3. C&D Nutty Irishman

I have some Nutty Irishman coming in the mail. It sounded good, can’t wait to try it.

 

[RickyRecon]

Its been a year of trying out several blends, but i find myself continually returning to an 8oz jar of LBF that I sealed up a decade ago. Davidoff Flake Medallions is probably the only other blend I've had more than a tin of.

 

[Pickin&Pipin]

• C&D Mississippi Mud
• G.L Pease Sixpence
• Per Gensen: Brothers in Arms
• Peterson Elizabethan
• G.L Pease Maltese Falcon

When curiosity strikes I reach for the back of the cabinet where the "hidden" stuff is but most of the time I go for my good old friend: Royal Yatch.
I know It's gonna be a good smoke, always.

There's a reason the yacht has stood the test of time.

 

[CPT]

I always have a number of Dunhill tins open, mainly Royal Yacht, Durbar, London Mixture, The Aperitif, Standard Mixture, Deluxe Navy Rolls, Elizabethan Mixture, and Early Morning Pipe.

My other go-to brand is G. L. Pease and always have Key Largo and Cairo 8 ounce tins open.

In 2025 I added C & D Exclusive to the go-to "always have a tin open" list.

 

[Dixie Piper]

Sutliff Sweet Virginia and Newminster 400 as well as Sutliff heavy english blend.

The heavy english is not a favorite but something I wanted to try due to discontinuation.

Some people hate on those floral lakelands, but I'll be damned if Ennerdale isn't the perfect springtime smoke. I reserve it exclusively for warm weather smoking, and it's a thing of beauty.

I love it all year round. There really is nothing quite like Ennerdale. A truly unique tobacco.

[shanez]

I have no idea but it seems like I smoked a lot of Rattray's Marlin Flake this year.

Interesting post and what really jumped out at me from the responses was just how many varied and excellent blends there are to meet individual tastes. It also allowed me to add to my "Must try" list for future purchases!
