    Escudo Alternative

    For quality and price, I think C & D's VaPers are hard to beat. Bayou Morning and Poplar Camp are both great. Exclusive is also very good.

    C&D Winchester & Others

    Yes, i usually dry it out a bit. I tend to keep an ounce or so in a pouch on my desk which helps bring it to my preferred moisture level. "Light crisp' is a perfect description. @BenMN, thanks for the additional info!

    C&D Winchester & Others

    Well said @mortonbriar ! Nothing extraordinary about Winchester, but it is delicious and well behaved. I'm smoking some right now mixed with @25% C&D long cut perique, and it's fantastic.

    C&D Winchester & Others

    I first tried Winchester only about a year ago, and it's become an almost daily smoke for me. I've yet to have a disappointing bowl. I'd love to try it with some perique added.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

    Started the day with some Blackpool in a cob. Not sure how old it was- I haven't purchased any Esoterica blends in a long time- but it was a very nice smoke. I just now am enjoying some Germain's Plum Cake in a tiny Dunhill saddle stem billiard that I keep for scented tobaccos.

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    Go with the shag. GH's vintage cut is a thin ribbon, more like a thick cut shag IMO. I tried the Kendal Dark vintage cut a few months ago, and thought i preferred it to the shag at first, but I think that was its novelty. The flavor and burn of the GH shag tobaccos is hard to beat.

    Cellars & Cellaring? ☕️

    I have a modest cellar, around 100#, that given my age and low rate of consumption will likely last the rest of my life. I did not start cellaring intentionally. In the late 90s-early 2000s my income was very seasonal, so when I was flush with cash I'd buy a lot to see me through lean times...
