+1. Cringle Flake
-1. Capstan Blue - Capstan Blue has always been a favorite of mine, but I just opened some from 2019 and am wondering what the hell MacBaren had against it. The topping is dead as a Dodo.
Denmark IS the place where British blends go to die.

BCA was rendered lifeless since our last update. Ironically, @rsshreck32 stopped it from kicking on the same post by which he assured me it was still kicking... then he stabbed it and rendered it lifeless. This means that @FLDRD and @andrew get to re-cast votes.
1792 is the current heavyweight favorite despite everyone's belief that it shouldn't be. Lane's entire line has now been discontinued despite @cshubhra taking up and arguing the codger's cause, that the tried and true oughtta whoop these other losers.
In that way, 1792 has somehow became the Jake Paul of this fight. Mike Tyson - in the form of Lane Tobacco - is ruled out and now all we have is a line of would-be challengers. Can these challengers take down this inexplicable flake with its distinct notes of marshmallow and woodsy goodness alongside a more-than-fair nicotine hit? Only time will tell.

Sounds like the perfect fit for STG's vacant position in upper management...
@rsshreck32 better fax that résumé before one of these (other) Golden Sliced haters beat you to it!
I missed voting yesterday. Can I double vote today?
If yes
Orlik Golden Sliced +2 and Ravenwood -2
Else
Orlik Golden Sliced +1
Ravenwood -1
After both Lane deceased, I wonder if I should not have publicly voiced my picks. Now that I have a new pick, I will have to follow a different strategy which might include downvoting the one that I am rooting for
