Big Order!

[ithelouniverse]

I'm placing a tobacco order and other than my usual of Orlik, I'm looking to try new stuff! Tell me your favorites, looking for recommendations...

Don't hold back, Aros, English, Virginias, orientals, something crazy I've never heard of! Fire away!

 

[jfox520]

I would recommend Blend No 5, Bosphorus Cruise and Barbados Plantation.

 

[teufelhund]

My favorite of 2013 was Deep Hollow with PS Luxury Bullseye Flake a close second. I recommend those two.

As I write this, I've just opened my latest TAD box from Pipes and Cigars. Some of this might interest you. Today I received 4 ounces of Autumn Evening (Yum), 6 ounces to replenish my Butternut Burley stash (also Yum), and two 3.5 ounce tins of Frog Morton Cellar. I will use one tin now, and I will age the other one.

McClelland's 3 Oaks Syrian is a good smoke. Syrian Latakia, Oriental and Virginia.

McClelland Bulk: 2000 - FRAGRANT MATURED CAKE
I tried that on my last order and was really impressed with it.

 

[woodsroad]

One of each. Yes, get one of each.

 

[rangerearthpig]

I was super happy with the Scotty's English Stout I just ordered. Very nice smoke!!

I remember you mentioning you like English Luxus I think, I would definitely try the English Oriental than, a bought a pound of it on a whim and it's one of my favourite blends yet, and I like the Luxus too. I would get some dunhill 965, some dunhill early morning pipe, and some dunhill nightcap as well. If you're looking for something like an aro but more along the lines of a good Va the Fragrant matured cake by McC's mentioned above is excellent and has none of that vinegar smell, it really is a whole different flavour than other McC's.

Hal o' the Wynd. Just because the name is cool. It's also one of my favorite smokes.

 

[davidintexas]

A twelve ounce tub of Walnut, a light-English American classic for around $28

 

[petes03]

H&H "10 To Midnight", a Latakia forward crumble cake. It smokes cool and burns for a long time.

 

[rcstan]

How's about a foray into Lakelands ?

G&H : Best Brown #2, Ennerdale and Bob's Square Cut

GL Pease meridian.

Gentleman... My large order turned into a 3 tin order due to my wife making the dreaded "hmmmmm do what you want" statement. I went with anniversary kake, dunhill 965 and CAO cherrybomb! Thanks all for the input and I'll put it to good use next time.
Side note... I picked up a pipe too! Post pics when I get it...

 

[pylorns]

Man I hate those type of statements.. not a damn thing you can do after you cross that bridge too.

 

[psychpipes]

I have to agree with the above Molto Dolce recommendation. Man I wish they would sell that stuff in larger quantities. I also recommend almost any Boswell Blend. I like No Bite Delight and Piper's Pleasure for aros. Bear Blend is a good crossover blend as well.
