If my numbers are right, the fox kills again

-1 Dunbar
+1 HH Burley Flake
Thanks for drawing my attention to this! You’re actually a tad too late. When I finished my most recent count, Dunbar was at 2. @BenMN took a swing at it then @64alex put it down.

The deed was Dun before you swung at it, so feel free to edit or repost a down vote.

Now, now. Play nice. Quiet Nights could be on the STG chopping block. Besides, we’re voting on best blend of 2024, and Cringle Flake fits that description.

Never smoked Cringle Flake, so no upvote from me. Besides, Pegasus died so someone has to pay.

I do have a tin of 1792 Flake inbound. Who knows? I might join the 1792 bros, but not the "unobtainium bros."

I don't have any unobtainium. At least it wasn't unobtainium when I bought it. Have you bought any limited release small batch blends, or KBV releases? Those would fit the unobtainium label, right?
It's true that I have a fair amount of stuff that's no longer made, like McClelland, but it wasn't unobtainium when I bought it and I take no responsibility for it going extinct.

Esoterica wasn't a problem for me to find and buy at $35 bucks a bag, plus or minus. Evidently that's unobtainium as well. It just stuff I bought from a few B&M/s, no fuss, no muss. Of course, I was a good customer to those B&Ms, paid extra for tobaccos bought at a B&M rather than online, so as a good customer I got taken care of, something that only Iwan Ries does for their on line customers.

Haven't tried 1792 as I'm not a huge nicotine fan, but any blend that's been around that long has to have something going for it.

Yep. I have unobtainium blends too. I like them. But Cringle Flake - look at the label. That guy looks so smug over the demise of Pegasus. Die... now...
