    Whole Leaf Tobacco

    Got it, I was afraid I had to cure the leafs, but it sounds relatively simple. I guess casings is another rabbit hole, but do you put anti-mold on everything?

    Whole Leaf Tobacco

    Do you have to process the leaf in any way? Or is it as simple as shred, blend, and smoke?

    Top 3 Burley’s?

    I'll second Cobblestone hiking if you can't find ABF or Wessex. Not the same to me, Wessex is clearly my favorite, but the hiking is very good.

    Something Unique About Cigars

    I should clarify the taste of the wrapper I'm talking about is on the lips. @onestrangeone I'm with you, pipes while driving, cigars when I have the time to appreciate them.

    Sutliffs Cringle Flake 2022

    I only bought some of the 2020, but I am glad I bought 5 at the time. It's a great smoke.

    Recommendations for Similar Blends

    I haven't tried Bankside, but the latakia in it is very slight as I understand. If you find you want more, I would venture off into latakia based blends. Maybe start with a smaller amount of latakia with Presbyterian Mixture.

    Something Unique About Cigars

    The taste of the wrapper. I've been ignoring my cigars for a while now, and I noticed how much flavor I got from the wrapper when I smoked one yesterday.

    Vauen Tiny Pipes- Are they any good?

    I get the occasional wonky burn, but I've never had a MF canoe on me, that sucks.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Prensado with about 4.5 years of age. Age has been nice to this cigar. I don't remember it being this good.

    I understand, I take this as a lesson to keep improving my language when communicating. I have a tough time sometimes communicating my exact thoughts on a forum. I do much better face to face. Thank you for the valuable information you have shared.

    Proper Tobacco Shop in Los Angeles...

    I was just at Tobacco Trader yesterday, found a couple of aged GLP tins that I snagged up. I'm glad you made the trek and that you had a positive experience, Manny is a great guy.

    I'd share this with them and let them decide for themselves. FOH Mould Study - https://www.fohcigars.com/forum/topic/131757-foh-mould-study/ Edit: FYI
