CBW alternative

[stacen]

I have enjoyed CB White, the taste and "easy smokingness" of it are very appealing. Also I have found that it is very easy to come by. However I have been put off by the "chemicallyness" of it. I am in search of a similar experience - pleasing room note (so I can smoke in company without taking abuse!!!) light creamy taste, a little sweetness, but without the "chemically" experience. Anyone have any suggestions? Mclelland's “best of show” has been quite good, but not quite the same, any other ideas?

Try Tinder Box (Wilshire). :D or let your pouch dry out some.

Not so much my cup of tea due the PG levels but I do like Zander Greg blends .

Trout Stream or Butternut Burley or 7 Seas Gold or McClellands Caramel Rush

Tinder Box Honey maple taste like it's named and my cuz. and some freinds are always harrasing me to light it up when I'm around them. Seems as though it's their favorite of my smokes. I even had a old man get upset with me for making his wife hard headed and not want to get in the car, because she wanted to smell me. :rofl: I was waiting on my mother to finish getting her nails done.

1Q and Savannah come to mind... I used to smoke CBW.. and these two have replaced it in regards to my smoking likes.....

I just bought some CB GOLD today. have u tried that, it is less chemical then the others. But I agree with Lane 1Q. you will love that if you like CB.

!-Q is an easy bet and even PS-24 wouldn't be bad.

Greetings,
Try a 50/50 mix of Lane RLP-6 and Lane BCA. It's a dead ringer for Captain Black White. All are made by Lane, so the flavor is the same. Lane bulks have less PG and use higher grade leaf.
Tinder Box's Chartwell is RLP-6 and Midnight is BCA, just for reference. Wilshire is 1-Q.

Who produces "Savannah?" (bowhatchie mentioned this above.)

 

[krgulick]

It is sold by tobaccotraderusa.com in California.

Thanks, krgulick -- I checked on Savannah and it is $3.50 per oz., or $52.50/lb. Ouch! Wallet bite. I'm sure it is good, though!
