Best Blend of 2024: The Nominations Phase
- Thread starter jbfrady
- Start date
So far I'm not seeing a single blend that was introduced in 2024, which should be a requirement given the title of the thread. So, I'll be the lone purist here and nominate Cringle Flake 2024.
Nah, Golden Showers is merely the ready rubbed version...
GL Pease Horizons came out this past June. I, too, thought this was about this year's tobacco releases. I guess it's an "all time best" kinda deal? That's a helluva lot of tobacco blends.
First post - "...My rules here are scarce, but the only one is simple: It must be a blend that others can look up."
I hate to initiate wailing and gnashing of teeth, but BiPolar Express is really fantastic.
You are not a little evil…
Well, on consideration, if it can be any blend ever, I’d go with State Express London Mixture.
Of course, you would have to have been smoking long enough to have experienced what top quality blends used to be.

Yeah, that’s probably better than BiPolar.
I smoked my last tin in maybe 2014, so I can’t play.
Sutliff Match Victorian
I didn’t read that it had to be a blend introduced in 2024, but that each member could only nominate one blend.

Although i've found several great new offerings this year that are now in my rotation, i have to name one from the newest (to me) genre of non-latakia orientals.
One that really stood out and made me a believer early on will be my nomination:
Missouri Meerschaum Luminaire
Simply bliss.

My big pipe tobacco discovery this year was finding out that I apparently really love strong dark fired British blends with weird flavorings, so my nomination for blend of the year goes to...
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic
Based on all that I've heard about it I fully expect my pick for next year to be Condor Ready Rubbed if I can ever get my hands on some, but alas it seems to be Esoterica level unobtanium here in the USA so Dark Flake Aromatic it is for this year!

Condor rocks and i feel your pain. Next time i find a source willing to ship here (if and when) i'll be loading up!I fully expect my pick for next year to be Condor Ready Rubbed if I can ever get my hands on some, but alas it seems to be Esoterica level unobtanium here in the USA...
Because it is. However, I have a pipeline so I am good to go. Next year, I plan to bring some home with me when I leave Europe.Based on all that I've heard about it I fully expect my pick for next year to be Condor Ready Rubbed if I can ever get my hands on some, but alas it seems to be Esoterica level unobtanium here in the USA so Dark Flake Aromatic it is for this year!
