    WLT Dark Air Cured

    The USDA puts it in a class of its own, separate from cigar types, burleys, etc

    "Mature Virginia" Rope?

    I think people are going to say GH Ropes but I think those are in a different flavor ball park. You could try the cherry and whiskey and rum topped ones though, and it might scratch a nearer itch. If you've tried them, you know what I mean. I haven't had this, but curly block? I think it lacks...

    "Blind Buying" 16oz of GL Pease - Help me Pick which Blends!

    What the Peters and Sigmund are saying -- really this is the only case one should do this. Honestly, something straightforward and inoffensive. An English with a strength of your choosing, Union Sq, and a Va/Per (I would determine by preferred cut - note that Pease and C&D 'flakes' are a lot...

    WLT Dark Air Cured

    I think more obvious examples are GH dark flake and the like. GH Balkan contains a type of dark air cured, and I believe a lot of Balkans generally use it, particularly ones not using other alkaline ingredients like Kentucky etc. I think it probably makes it into most other things in very small...

    WLT Dark Air Cured

    I think they use it. I just don’t think it headlines marketing materials

    Light Fire Cured Virginia - Sugar vs. Nicotine Content

    More like a burley, to answer OP. It’s dry, probably less to do with the process than the Virginia the process started with. With flue curing, VA’s with high sugar content are prized. Dark-firing brings in other considerations: texture, thickness and oils of the leaf to better hold in that...

    Favorite Cigarillos?

    Liga Privada’s Nasty Fritas is another suggestion, off the wall and not a cigarillo, but definitely a shorter smoke

    Your Favorite Classic Blends (Virginia, Burly, English, etc) and Why?

    Of the readily available stuff, I wasn’t so huge on Capstan though you’ll see it rec’d. I’d like to tell you Gawith Squadron Leader but it may not be so readily available. You couldn’t go wrong with going Dunhill Standard and Dunhill Flake for your English and Virginia categories. I’d split...

    Blind Tasting: Red Virginia

    @Mrs. Pickles Sorry about that! I'm lagging because of the heat-wave up here and I don't have a very consistent smoke friendly setup. I'm about halfway through the samples and will post more thoughts soon. Don't worry about me when posting the results - post when you'd like and I won't look...

    Blind Tasting: Red Virginia

    Sniffing at pouch 1: the smell of playdough and of the sweat of schizophrenics. The smell of garbage pickling near rat holes burrowed under city trees and the streets filled with children who will later at inexplicably late hours phantom the streets with none for a parent but New York. Further...

    Blind Tasting: Red Virginia

    Received my package yesterday and have cracked into #1 while I take some notes. Here's a shot of this old broken flake for those following along.

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    I like the Gawith cut a lot. Really pleasant, but there’s not a shag cut tobacco I’ve tried and haven’t liked.
