    Gawith Hoggarth Shag Tobaccos -- Impressions?

    That makes sense (the hot burn) Gold is all VA

    Gawith Hoggarth Shag Tobaccos -- Impressions?

    I've long enjoyed Dark Birdseye, and have recently decided to try some of the other GH & Co shags. I really like the Kendal Dark, when I'm in the mood for it, and recently ordered a couple ounces sample of Kendal Kentucky. At this point, I'll probably want to try all five that I know of...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match in a Country Gent -- thanks @jiminks for the recommendation!

    Your Top Five Burley Blends

    Seeing other's posts here, it makes me realize I consider burley and dark-fired (kentucky) as two quite different things, or at least two quite different smoking experiences. For example, many folks suggested Irish Flake, but I never thought of that as a burley (though I know it is), so I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    Semois (Reserve du Patron) in a dagner poker cob. Crappy wine on the side (which explains why it was on sale).

    Sparkplug

    Now I want your wish blend (the cigar blend). I believe Axle Grease would be the perfect name.

    Va-Pers

    Salty Dogs. It's actually the _only_ Va/Per I like so it wins favorite by default. :p

    Your Top Five Burley Blends

    I thought I was the only one! Granted, I often cheat and add granulated perique to it.

    Thoughts on P&C Aside; Any of the Match Blends....

    Sold! I'm going to order some to try -- thank you!

    Your Top Five Burley Blends

    Agreed, it's night and day difference from just smoking it down mindlessly. More so with 5 Bros than others I think. Semois is the same way.

    Thoughts on P&C Aside; Any of the Match Blends....

    Well then I should try the Match as well -- I like a molasses touch a' la Granger

    Thoughts on P&C Aside; Any of the Match Blends....

    Would you recommend the Match Ready Rubbed over the Ready Rubbed? I've always liked a burley with a light cocoa topping. Enjoyed the Ready Rubbed, never tried the Match.

    Perfect Morning Smoke

    In the morning, I like to go strong in beverage and smoke. Black coffee and Five Brothers, Kelly'Coin, or a Semois.

    Non-Lakeland Lakelands/Floral Blends

    Stonehenge, and maybe Hyde Park (I don't remember the latter as well).

    Your Top Five Burley Blends

    I primarily smoke burleys myself, so I'll give a top five (for me), in no particular order (some are burley-forward blends): Five Brothers Reserve du Patron (or any Semois burley from Vincent Manil) Old Joe Krantz/Haunted Bookshop (same blend, different proportions -- former is stronger and...

    Your Top Five Burley Blends

    My experience with 5 Bros exactly. Pack it tight, give it the slightest light, and sip.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    If you want to place blame on an individual, there's more than one 'head chicken' that is responsible for this debacle. Hell, we were down to 2,500 by the beginning of this year, so someone had to own the withdrawal. I agree with your initial point on arming and training folks that won't...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    You make bread? I salute you. I'm fairly competent with the top of the stove (the fire part), but the magical things people are able to do with that chamber below behind the big door remain a mystery to me :p

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    Very nice! Is that a military bit? I don't believe ever seen one quite like that.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    Black Frigate in a Country Gent cob while trying to get motivated to prepare dinner today.
