First off, I'd like to thank both of you for all of your handwork and dedication to the pipe tobacco industry. Without the both of you, we wouldn't have such high standards in regards to blend types, taste, and consistency. I, like (probably most others here) enjoy our American history. Even more specifically, the men and women that really built this country. Perhaps we give them a nod of gratitude with a line of tobacco's saluting the workers who made it possible for us to have quite the easy lifestyle we enjoy today. So here goes my suggestions of blends (and names!) for all to view and criticize. Gentleman, I present to you my "vision" of the (get ready, name isn't quite concrete) American Laborers Tobacco Line.
First blend, The Farmers Bale. Virginias are often referred to as hay like and citrusy. So I thought, why not a good ol fashion plug of golden virginias with just a touch of perique? Ever smell fresh cut hay? Then after it dries? The smell changes from a wet hay like smell to a drier citrus smell.
Second blend. Coal Miners Daughter. Coal mining is where unions started, where we first burnt fossil fuels in mass production. It's also a tip of the hat to where the term "redneck" came from. Coal mining was mainly based in West Virginia and Kentucky. So why not a Dark fired Kentucky flake, with some red virginia, a bit of cavendish for the smoke, and finally latakia for the smokey flavor. Seems tempting like a lovely Appallacian gal.
Third. Ride On. The poney express Correspondence is what we humans, civilized and not, enjoy to do amongst ourselves. Talking to neighbors, to sending letters to friends that live abroad. What if we had a ready rubbed blend of Smyrna Turkish, Virginias, burley, and Latakia for the mounted rider on delivery?
Fourth! Iron Spike. The Railroad laborers worked with iron and dirt, created the first mass transit system. A blend dedicated to these folks cannot be mild, but fully robust and in a plug (plugs, much like pugs are fun). Red virginias, Latakia, burley, orientals, and dark fired kentucky.
Fifth! Smeared Ink. The print shops in each city and town really got the news around and the folks worked day and night so that the commoners could have a little gossip at the taverns. A tobacco dedicated to the folks would be a fine english krumble kake of virginias, cyprian latakia, and orientals.
Sixth! Hey Barkeep! I think our underpaid enablers of the beer glass are not toasted to enough. So a ready rub of burley, red virginias, kentucky with a top note of whiskey would do fair for them.
Seventh! Bayou Dockhand! The dockhands were the ones bringing the goods from far off. So a good ol fashion Va/per is in order, but not in flake or plug or ready rub fashion. In a twist, much like the ropes of the ships that came in.
Eighth, and final. Rolfe Rope (depends on trademark, etc.). The first shipment of tobacco exported from the united states was produced by John Rolfe. Therefore I feel it to be a dutiful right that we acknowledge him and his first crop. A Maryland reds and golden virginia rope, aged one year before release. To give sake to the voyage it took to get to Europe.
Thats it. This is my massive brainstorm and I hope other forum members chime in. I hope you all have enjoyed my non sensory. Cheers!
