I haven’t actually. I have always wanted to, and a friend recently came across a pouch, so I’m looking forward to tying it one day.

I really like GH Kendal Kentucky as another suggestion. I would say go through C&D’s and GLPease’s range and see if anything stands out.

If you are thinking along lines of 5bros, especially if it’s the allure of “uncased tobacco”, place a whole leaf order at WLT and play around
Yeah Whole Leaf looks pretty good!

Back in 2012-2013 I was loading up on Solani 660 Silver Flake and 633. There were never any shortages and no limits as to how much you could buy. For some strange reason ABF was always out of stock and hard to find. I am glad I tried a test tin as I didn't like it at all. I am not a straight burley guy so I gave the tin to a friend. Many ABF lovers went over to the Wessex Burley Slices which always seemed easy to get. It always seemed that people liked the ABF better than the Wessex. I tried the Wessex as well and gave that tin away.

Here in Italy it's readily available, but it's scarce in my cellar because of its high cost (nearly 30 euros for a 50 g tin) :)

Tobacco availability is akin to smoking a pipe. Less stress and more enjoyment. When what I want is not readily available it gives me a chance to explore different options...
