    Best of the berries?

    My 3 favorite are The old Scotties Pancake, Boswell Raspberry Cream but most of all 4noggins Lord Methleys if you like over the top berry with a taste of pie crust, it delivers.

    Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish match?

    Sorry I can't help you but I agree it was one one of the best Vanilla blends out there.

    Tobacco Rustica

    I have a 1/4 pound of some at the moment. Its Earthy , sweet and a bit floral. But like many uncased tobaccos it smokes a bit rough after about a half a bowl. I actually used a leaf to bind a homemade cigar but with poor results, Very odd and floral. I did not find the nicotine to be that bad...

    Ltstone’s Cigar Rolling Adventure

    Elessar, Taste wise those sticks shown are final blends so I really enjoy the taste. Now the arX does have burn issues probably because the wrapper is ligero but I have experimented with using viso (thinner but less flavorful leaf) with good success so I'll keep experimenting. The PaNic smokes...

    Ltstone’s Cigar Rolling Adventure

    Thanks Pants Boots! Being a pipe smoker helps with decoding different flavors and tobacco profiles. Crazy that the Litto Gomez is one of favorite cigars , and you might be able to still get it in the Lfd Robusto sampler which I might do since cigars are 20% off right now. I have never tried an...

    Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)

    Its surprising how many big name companies seem to neglect the more exotic tobaccos like Peruvian, Colombian Brazilian etc, I enjoy smoking Paraguayan all on its own, very tasty.

    Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)

    Sorry guys, just now saw the replies to the thread. Yeah like Javan said , I'm having a blast rolling and blending. Especially the blending part. Once you get a basic feel of the component tobaccos its not too hard to start making some tasty cigars. Surprisingly many sticks can be quite complex...

    Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)

    Ugh, Both my orders are 30 minutes away sitting at a post office and now I have to wait till Monday lol. I'll be sure to let you know and I ask the same of you. Btw how do yours taste? Do you think its possible to make a cigar that would taste as good or better that the typical premium?

    Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)

    Great thread! I jumped in full force and ordered a ton of sample tobacco to try, should be in mid next week. So excited to get rolling. Done a lot of research and am really surprised and maybe because I am pipe smoker but home rollers rarely discuss blends and flavor profiles, its mostly about...

    English Aromatic/Aro English Suggestions?

    I agree about Bald Headed Teacher although Im not sure I would classify it as an English , the latakia is pretty condimental like Bobs Chocolate Flake My two favorite crossover blends would be Britts Balkan (love the vanilla topping) and Voodoo Queen.

    4Noggins

    I have never had a problem under either management but now you have to just expect about a five day process before the actual shipping, I'm never in a hurry anymore so I just order and forget.

    Cornell & Diehl Purple Cow Review

    I'm pretty sure the cigar leaf used in most of their common blends is Maduro Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper. I've smoked it straight and its actually quite good and have had people comment on the pleasant aroma as well.

    Watch City Slices - Can't Figure This One Out

    I wouldn't compare the 2 at all. HH is a great dark nutty style burley and WCS is a soft sweet white burley tempered with some tangy red virgina and rum.

    Watch City Slices - Can't Figure This One Out

    Watch City Slices reminds me of a light version Peterson Irish Flake. I love both. I wish I would have jarred my Slices sooner as the rum topping evaporates quickly which weirdly enough seems to make it burn hotter for me .

    What Do You Reach For When You're Looking For A Flavour-Bomb?

    I enjoy it a lot, an under the radar tobacco for sure, funny that for as strong as it is it doesn't wear on the palate or give me bite.

    What Do You Reach For When You're Looking For A Flavour-Bomb?

    Montford Point Marines by C&D is for me by far the biggest flavor bomb, Latakia, Dark Fired and Perique, Reminds me of a spicy Billy budd on Steroids. to the point my tongue goes numb after a bowl. Also Bayou Night, Dark Plug...
