    HH Old Dark Fired

    I remember when this wonder was first released - what a powerhouse and a taste treat in one. Prices were great, too. For a while there, prices went through the roof and seem to have settled back to reality in the last few years. This stuff is so good that many of us surely have gone deep in...

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title - Bob This is sure a great time of year to stock up on tins! A few of the premier suppliers are offering great deals, with some having buy two-get one free. I'm closing on the 100 mark rapidly. Not a lot, I know, but should last a while.

    Broken Heart...

    I've been away from the beloved briars and cobs for a while and have just recently seen the light and returned. I am deeply saddened to see that McClelland is no more and some Dunhills are extinct as well. I see that Peterson has picked up most, but not all of the Dunhill line - fortunately...

No real need to have to age, but is surely will only get better with time! Medium to full, smooth and creamy with no bite at all. this blend smokes cool...
