Burley/ Lat Forward Or American English Blend Experience?

[derfargin]

When I smoked Epiphany I couldn't taste the lat at all. I got more burley than anything. It's a good blend, but the lat is lost in the blend(at least for me it was) I can't say Billy Budd is similar because the latakia is very apparent in that blend, unlike Epiphany.

NO billy bud i can find, it's going on the list as well.

Doesn't Solani have some?
I know Brebbia used to . . . #80. but not sure if it is still available.

Ordered an ounce of: Bald headed teacher, dark and stormy, billy bud and odessa. I was digging around in some C&D tins i had and there was some Crowley's Best. Burly, Lat and Perique, First bowl was burley and lat, second was perique and burley dominant. I think I will be adding Crowley's in more quantity after a few more bowls. I think the rest should be here shortly.

I've almost finished the 2oz of Epiphany I bought to try. I have to say the more I smoked it the more I found myself looking forward to another bowl. It looks as if I found yet another C&D blend to cellar.

For burley/Lat, or American English blends, I'm not sure how you beat Pipeworks & Wilke.

C&D nonaromatic burleys are really almost in a class by themselves. Even with Latakia, they are

not really English, to my taste; they are a separate category, and so good. Don't get me wrong,

I love a good English -- Nat Sherman 536, Nightcap, MM965, Fox and Hound, and so many others.

But C&D nonaromatic burleys open a whole new vista.

Between pipe works and uhles I need to make some orders.

I really like man's best friend by sutliff. Lat - burley - Va with a light hint of rum. Good stuff. I keep it on hand in case the world ends. I don't want to be with out while fighting zombies/aliens/robots/feminists or whatever destroys modern civilization

I had some Odessa and Bald Headed Teacher. Odessa is a keeper, the bald headed teacher needs few more bowls smoked before I can decide.

I've been enjoying a sample of St Johns by the Owl Shop.

60% Carter Hall, 20% rubbed out Orlik Golden Sliced, 20% blending lat. Easy and tasty.

Since I finished the tin of Epiphany I've been on a American "English" kick. I cracked a tin of C&D's Morley's Best and really have been enjoying it. I'll definitely order a lot more of this. When I finish with this tin, I'm going to move on to the tin of Junkyard Dawg that I have.
I want to order some Crowley's Best and Spillman Mixture to try those as well.

 

[snagstangl]

Morleys is burley with a touch of lat, odessa is the next step up with more lat but burley up front, and Crowleys is more like a fight between lat and burley. It varies on bowls but the lat wins most times.
I also have some mans best friend. It is always a bit weird when the lat tastes like berries in some blends. That is how it is in Epiphany for me.

 

[derfargin]

Thanks for the insight snag. I have some Odessa that I haven't tried I'll give that one a whirl too.

Some one drop shipped me 8oz of Sutliff No 5 blend and 8 of Revelation match. I bought an ounce of revelation match when I started a few years ago. It didn't do anything for me when i started. I left it jarred for a year and came back to it and went through the ounce in a week. I never got around to getting more. I hope the magic can happen again.

 

[snagstangl]

I figured it out, someone forgot to change the shipping address after the last time he had something shipped to me.
