    Question about G&H Co Kendal dark

    Kendall Dark (Shag) has been readily available in the USA for many years. Supposedly Dark Plug, Dark Flake, and Kendall Dark are the same blend, just a different cut, at least that's what I was told many years ago. I like them all, but smoke a lot more Kendall Dark than the others. I also recall...

    GH&Co Brown Irish #4 Rope --- Love the New Package Method/Coil Size

    Since @gawithhoggarth didn't answer the question, I will. I recently smoked both Samuel Gawith Brown No 4 and Gawith Hogarth Brown Irish X and can say with certainty that they are not the same at the time these were produced (both were purchased and jarred in 2017). I like them both, but I find...

    Looking for a New Knife

    It was a Leek, weakest steel I've ever seen in a knife. I also have a Skyline and it's actually held up well over the years. Of course I only use it to slice plugs.

    GH&Co Brown Irish #4 Rope --- Love the New Package Method/Coil Size

    My comment was directed @gawithhoggarth since their (non) reply to me equates to "read the label on the box pictured ya wanker". Call it whatever you wish sir 😉

    Looking for a New Knife

    Last under $50 Kershaw I had ended up with a broken tip with occasional light use. I don't recommend. CRKT M21-10KSF is an excellent under $50 knife if you want serrated. Otherwise, the Buck 110 Folding Hunter LT is a great standard pocket knife at around $40.

    Looking for a New Knife

    The classic Buck 110 or the smaller variation are hard to beat.

    What is the Most Muscular Straight Burley Sold Today?

    I find Kelly's Coin to be a stronger nic hit than Burley Flake No 1 by quite a lot. Maybe because I smoke BF1 a lot slower since it's a flake and KC is a fine ribbon. It's Interesting how different people react to the same tobaccos.

    What is the Most Muscular Straight Burley Sold Today?

    5 Brothers is mild-medium at best with little flavor IMHO. C&D Kelly's Coin and Old Joe Krantz are strong for sure. Not sure exactly what tyoe of leaf is in Kendall Kentucky these days, but years ago it was supposed to be straight Kentucky burley and quite strong.
