    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    That wasn't on my radar, I'll check it out. I've done the same with their crumble cakes, but I do prefer to rub them out.

    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    I've heard similar things from people on youtube. I count myself lucky I never tried the cuts before, because I'm loving Briar Fox as it is currently.

    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    Night Train is one I have in my cart, along with 5'oclock shadow and Redburn. I have to stop myself from trying every cake they have.

    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    Man it's tough to commit to a whole pound, but I feel like I would enjoy Folklore. Glad it's doing it for you.

    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    To each their own, for sure, but their Burley is another reason they're in 1st place for me.

    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    I believe they switched over to a new cutting machine in 2016ish that led to them using a much thinner ribbon.

    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    I've heard the same, and that kept me away from C&D for years when I first started out. I thought Europe = quality, America = quantity. I don't believe that anymore. Now I smoke more C&D + GL Pease than any thing else.

    Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes

    Over the last couple of years, C&D has moved into my top spot for blending house. One of the reasons is their fantastic crumble cake. I love the confetti cut they have, it's so easy to break apart and stuff into the pipe, and burns easily and evenly. I caught myself on smokingpipes going...

    You Have HOW Many Pipes? (New G.L. Pease Article)

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Nica Rustica Connecticut Broadleaf. I haven't had the Charter Oak broadleaf yet, but this nica rustica hits above its weight class. It might be the best budget CB wrapper out there, especially with about a year's rest on them.

    Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

    Blending Perique that is More Figgy than Peppery?

    I was not responding to you, just thinking out loud. I wonder what would happen to perique if it went through the cavendish process.

    Blending Perique that is More Figgy than Peppery?

    I wonder if you can cavendish perique, and what that turns it into. Technically one could cavendish anything, right?

    Feedback wanted: Community engagement

    It would be cool if we as a community could vote on which small batch we want or something like that, but I understand why that isn't a thing.
