C&D Choices

That was my thinking also. And, it was what kept me from posting my whole grocery list, ha ha.

That's exactly why I kept it to just SotE and PK.

You could also take advantage of their blending component tobaccos and create your own mixture, or doctor up any of their blends that you feel need a lil sump'n extra.

I've got a decent stash of C&D in my cellar. I enjoy a handful of their blends, though the Virginia always need time to rest before they're palatable in my opinion.
As for the blends you've mentioned, I've never tried any of them. But some good ones are out there (and not just the small batch like some may have you believe).

Ironically enough, I've got a large cache of C&D mainstay blends in the cellar, yet only seem to smoke their small batches. They offer such a plethora, it just feels kind of uninspiring to crack a standard offering. Haunted Bookshop has certainly seen a fair number of bowls in my pipes over the past few years however, that's for sure.

I can see that. My deepest blends of theirs are mostly small batch. But I'm pretty deep on others like Opening Night, Kajun Kake and Bayou Morning, amongst others that seem to age well. Though deep is debatable here - C&D isn't my favorite blending house so I don't have a crazy stash.

I enjoy Oak Alley so I bought a few with the sale.

Cornell & Diehl's Burley blends are their best offering in my opinion. Haunted Bookshop, Pegasus, Old Joe Krantz, Burley Flake #'s 1 and 2 are all good ones in my cellar/rotation. I'm a big fan of Bayou Night and Bayou Morning also.

I don't know if anyone said anything but their English family blend I smoke the most of is Mountain Camp. It's quite a wonderful blend and it's fun to smell the jar which smells like a campfire.

Yorktown, Habana Daydream, Bayou Morning…

Their Small Batches aside, Engine 99 and Habana Daydream are two I really enjoy!
