Battle of McCVirginias

The Frog Morton series is absolutely their most popular Latakia blends. But good luck finding any.
Kinda like their Virginia blends, they also made Latakia blends taste "different" than other makers.
So, pretty much any of their Lat blends are great.

shooot well that sounds amazing well now I need to find some haha

 

[Mury]

You must be new here...

i am assuming this happens a lot?

this is so fascinating I never hear people talk about 5110 mainly because they talk about the blends that come in tins like the Frogs or Orientals

The Frogs are great, but 5110 for heavy Lat and 2020 for a lighter Lat are just as good in my opinion.
2045 is a good "Balkan" style blend with Orientals and a touch of Latakia.

The 40th Anniversary was the best. I enjoyed most of the Christmas Cheers. VA No 27 is very good. Those are my favorites but I liked most any McClelland Virginia.

The Frogs turn up regularly on Pipestud’s site, as well as on Tinbids.

Is that like where the bm retailer says you need to spend 500$ on a specific brand of pipe in order to be put upon their esoterica reserve buyers list?

Or you have to spend 300$ or more on cigars EVERY month in order to smoke one inside the store, inside their converted 4x5 broom closet on that 10 dollar folding chair they got at walmart?

Nope. Maybe YOU have to, but I’ve never had to. That said, I have been known to express my appreciation by sending a gift of something the tobacconist mentioned he missed having, like a tin of pure Syrian Latakia. It was never a requirement.

Id rather have a tine of pure syrian latakia over anything mcclelland made.

And feeling the need to give gifts to a business, thats awfully sad business really.

Wow. And this is why we can’t have nice things these days…
I highly doubt gifting a friend was a “need” for the business model, as opposed to to a token of gratitude for a friendship grown over time.

As I wrote, which you apparently ignored to make a non point, it was not required.

Bingo! A concept that appears to be completely alien to Mr Misfit.

Everyone values something different. Besides, I have both.

Let’s try and all get along folks, pipe tobacco should bring us all together

Welcome to pipe smoking. Arguing and disagreement are the only things that are common between smokers.

sheesh that must make smoking together a headache

Actually, that makes it interesting. And sitting with a bunch of pipe smokers at a show makes it really interesting.

That's why I always smoke alone.

ahhha My problem is I don’t like smoking alone, and when it’s in a group i’d prefer to talk about the tobacco and non controversial topics
