Best Blend of 2024: The Elimination Game Part

Doblone D’Oro needed a miracle. Instead it got @ThomasS and a few of his cronies. In a dark alley. The body was discovered two days later.

Maybe it's because we're getting further from Christmas with each passing day or maybe it's for some other reason, but Santa (Cringle) is getting Dashered right in his Donder regions. He's still got a chance but at this moment, he's not in the top ten in terms of hit points.

1792 has clawed its way back into the 20's and is living proof that some people just really f@cking like Lakelands and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

I'll introduce a temp rule tomorrow to try to cull some of the ridiculousness. (It's based on a user suggestion.)

I find it amusing how C&D went from a very subpar blending house to manna of the gods as people slowly accept the fact it's going to be all they have left. It

If a cd product ends up the last blend standing it just means the children have killed all the adults in the room!!

Darn right! Though in all fairness 1792 has no floral essence whatsoever, which is the thing a lot of people dislike about Lakelands and tend to associate with them. The only topping added is vanilla'y tonquin bean, which goes really well with the dark fired Virginias if ya ask me. If you're looking for a floral blend to rag on then go downvote Bosun Plug.

Anyway, screw Esoterica and their hoity-toity unobtainable "look at me smoking my $800 bag of tobacco in a Dunhill root briar on the deck of my yacht" fancy pants rich people malarkey.
