Best Bulk Dry Tobacco?

[charleshiggens]

You're right jnd I should have said what I enjoy especially with all these replies, crap. Right now I'm smoking Bugler Blue (because it's like five times cheaper than the smaller 7-11 bags of BB) but it's so cheap I'd rather just go up from it, that's about it Bugler Blue, only other kind I smoked is on that site Scotty's chocolate, scotty's pancake, and scotty's butternut, but they're all hella wet and it's hard to dry them so I don't want Scotty's, they made me realize I want dry, no matter what.
So yeah, dry, bulk, a step or two up from Bugler Blue.

"dry" meaning not wet AND not aromatic?

Try Peter Stokkebye 701 Virginia.

or D&R Penhooker or...heck, any of the D&R blends.

Bugler is horrid tobacco! Get yourself some Stokkebye PS-84 Turkish Export instead. ::

dry meaning not wet

Yes, but once aired properly some of the finest (and most popular) blends available today, just look at the reviews on Tobaccoreviews.com!

There is nothing wrong with Bugler Blue,although the price did jump up here in Pa thanks to our governor.

 

[charleshiggens]

bump. I guess I'll try the d&r unless someone else responds.

I agree with Jay on SG tobaccos. I will also add that SG ages quite nicely as well.
I currently live in China and access to pipe tobacco is limited. I have smoked plenty of CD and it is drier in comparison to SG. I also remember hand rolling Bugler cigarettes many years ago not because it was good tobacco, but because it was cheap. I say all of the suggests here are including (even though its not dry) SG.

In 2016 I spent over $11,000 on tobacco from P&C with no issues. Get yourself a few pounds of Dunhill Nightcap while you still can.

Some vendors seem to have better pricing on some blenders.

C&D is usually less costly @ smokingpipes.

D&R @ Pipes and Cigars.

If you go to the radio archives and listen to the programs with Mark Ryan, you might learn about his moisture philosophy. I seem to recall that his tobaccos are shipped with a 16% content. Evidently, that's a very low number, and it means that these are less likely to develop the problems associated with 'wet' tobaccos.

Most of my 'cellar' is bulks from the above mentioned blenders, and I can play with them to generate even more variety, if I so desire.

I have a couple of bags of seasoning tobaccos from each, too. Perique and Latakia. Still learning the subtle interplay (or not so subtle) of these with other varietals, primarily Virginia's and Burley's.

To go deeper into that topic, Mark mentioned that, if you sell tobacco with over 16% moisture content,

You have to apply chemicals to stop it from molding.

He mentioned it here I believe.

They only sell ounces of dunhill nightcap. Guess I'll go with d&r picayune. That's a weird name to deal with though every time I open the bag to get more, oh well.

Woodsroad: Now, that's an interesting chart. Been proselytizing that for some time, have I, and am delighted to see visual evidence. Hygrometers cost as little as $5.00, too.
Interesting that some of the most revered blends are shipped off the chart- i.e., wetter than 80% RH. (Penzance, Pembroke, Margate, some Dunhill, etc.)

Moisture is good for letting the tobacco merry and age,

It only makes sense for that matter.

Yes, but you can buy as many ounces as you like, with the best price kicking in at the 80 oz/ 5 lb mark. You will be jarring the bulk stuff no matter what, so I was confused by your statement.

I see that now, but there's this one comment that gets to me " Famous name average smoke

Jan 17, 2017

I am amused at how do many people parrot each other on this blend. Folks come on this blend is average at very best. Really some of you folks need to venture out more. I enjoy this blend however it seems to try to please everyone, which I notice seems to be the motivation of Dunhill brands. This blend is a general kind of smoke that does not shine in room note,flavor or flavor taste. Sure it is a nice smoke but way too bland to stand out in any catagory. The Latakia is almost nonexistent so no real smoky flavor. I tend to think some folks think because it says Dunhill....well gosh it must be the best. Open up your horizons and try other brands even small little know brands which may truly surprise you!"
so I think I'll get d&r

 

[woodsroad]

If you let other people's unsupported opinions sway you, one will never find their own path.

"Really some of you folks need to venture out more." :crazy: Really :?: The new guy that doesn't know what he likes is going to tell me this? Nightcap has been one of my top three forever, and this is what I get? :nana: :rofl:

 

[kanse]

People venture out, large number of them return to classics after a while.

There is a very good reason for that.

I've tried well over 50 blends,

I still have to beat Penzance, Old Dark Fired and Irish Flake.
