    OJK BLUE or PEGASUS?

    Burley Flake #1 is pretty damn strong, but I haven't had big and burley to compare.

    Briar Fox

    Give it some time to breathe if you haven't already, it opens up, but it's nothing spectacular taste wise, it's just great no fuss and consistent tobacco. I agree with you about the aftertaste, this blend gives me cravings if I stop smoking it for a couple of days.

    OJK BLUE or PEGASUS?

    I've been smoking a lot of these 2 lately, and it's tough to compare them. They each have their place. OJK Blue is just a no nonsense smooth burley smoke, it doesn't have much going for it, but it's great for mindless puffing. Pegasus is still no nonsense, but it is more full and rich in...

    SPC Mississippi River vs Plum Pudding
