Ennerdale -2
Can't tolerate more than a wee bit at a time - how can it be best?
Think of the shame if in the future you have to defend voting it "best"...
Just sayin'

Methinks poor Ennerdale is growing nauseous from this back and forth...
Ennerdale -2
I used to love Ennerdale & smoke a lot of it. I don’t anymore because it doesn’t taste nice, it really doesn’t.
To all the double plussers, time to let it go boys!

Clearly the people involved in this thread don't like English/Latakia blends. How is Honeydew got some many votes. Heck, Ennerdale is still in over some great English blends. Good lord.

Exclusive - C&D
Stratfordshire - C&D
Mixture #79 - Sutliff

Pegasus - C&D
Holly's Non Plus Ultra - Dan
Dorchester - Esoterica
No. 69 - Peter Henrichs

Squadron Leader - SG
Luxury Navy Flake - Peter Stokkebye
Lancer Slices - F&K
Wintertime Flake - SG
Black - Sillem's
Skiff Mixture - SG

Oriental Silk - C&D
With that, Oriental Silk was plugged, meaning that the final C&D blend has fallen. Five were on the original roster, but they were picked off flake by flake and ultimately none made the ribbon cut. Broadly speaking, they've all been ready-rubbed out.
Ennerdale has been knocked around so hard you'd think he went on a date with Chris Brown. Still, he hasn't lost a single hit point in the net count. It's hard to say whether that's a blessing or a curse, so I'll default to Eastern philosophy and assume it's both intertwined. Or should I say, Ennertwined.
What can I say? I've run all out of funnies.

Bob's Chocolate Flake +1
Valiant (but doomed?) Ennerdale -1 whose fans I can only think peaked in the disco era. This one's for you, guys!
