Sounds French? Can’t have that! Non Monsieur!!
Moins deux points por La Roogaroo. (-2 Rouxgaroux).
Down two to the Rue-ga-roo.
@Servant King if it helps, I don't hate VaPers or Va. Quite the contrary, they're most of my favorites. But I'm not one for ribbon cuts. If it ain't a flake, cake, or plug, it ain't tucked in my pipe hole.

Nobody died today, but every blend on the living list is in bold, so it was either punched, healed, or both. We've reached the point where there are fewer bandwagons and more scattered brawls. @WerewolfOfLondon and @woodsroad are trying their darndest to keep the Dockworker from falling in, whereas @AcesAndEights and @FLDRD are defiling the purity of Bob's pristine cocoa creation. Battles, it would seem, are a'brewing.
Four score and seven years ago when this game began, I figured it was to happen upon new tobaccos to try, by seeing what the community favored. All these eons later, I see that my initial assumption isn't true. It's about kicking the feet out from under others, taking out their favorite blends, then rubbing their faces in it. Violence, malice, and misery in the face of a gloating victory. In other words, it's the American Dream. Unless Dockworker wins. Then I guess it's... what, the English dream?
Come to think of it, nobody wants that. Maybe we should all just target Dockworker. What could be more American than tanking the English for no good reason?

Tanking the Germans? Hey you guys done it twice already, once more won't hurt lol. I hate to break it to you JB, but Dockworker is German
The clarification is appreciated--however, it is of no use in bringing back PSLNF from the same category as Captain Black Grape, and restoring it to its rightful place on the championship throne. Or at least bronze or silver, alongside something that doesn't totally suck sweaty, fermented wildebeest nads.
If this thread doesn't bring me to tears at any point, I will consider my participation a success.
No, man, FVF was untouched. It's a Va. Let's vote it down!!!

I know Dockworker is German in manufacture (DTM is my favorite), but it's one the UK gets that the US doesn't. And you are the one who upped it lol.Tanking the Germans? Hey you guys done it twice already, once more won't hurt lol. I hate to break it to you JB, but Dockworker is German

Voting Anomalous down, simply for the fact that I don’t think a limited edition tobacco, that was a one time only production should win

Unbelievable but there are still a few blends in the top 10 I have never tried yet.
Anomalous is something I have not tried and being limited edition probably would never try. So off with his head

I feel like
