Where is this desert island? I’d probably just smoke whatever grows well there…secretly hoping it’s Indonesian, so I can build a life raft from tambolaka

Yeah, see, the idea of a "Desert Island Blend" is supposed to be ONE blend, not the entire P&C catalog.
We go through this every six months or so!

Enough cheap bulk tobacco to build a raft out of.
And maybe a volleyball to keep me company

I'm still processing why anyone would want the Skipper and Gilligan and Samuel L. Jackson as the human cohabitants, lol, to be stranded with. If it's a Gillgan's Island thing, well then Mary Ann (not implying any monkey business if my wife is reading this) and since there won't be any burgers I don't need Sam describing them. Two's company and I've seen that movie and I'll take female companionship at any level over a coconut or a ball, whatever, or some other guy.

No idea on the tobacco - I guess whatever was at the top of the last favorite list I posted which may be Wilke No. 515.

 

[DeaconPiper]

War Horse Green
St. Bruno
Ten Russians

 

[Arkansas Paul]

Two of them aren't in production anymore, but we're talking wild scenarios anyway, so I'm including them.

1. McClelland Red and Black
2. Rattray's Hal o' the Wynd
3. Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky

 

[PaulRVA]

1. C&D Exclusive
2. Capstan Blue
3. Father Dempsey or Nightcap
4. Bob’s Chocolate Flake
5. Escudo or Pete Deluxe Navy Rolls

Sure, why not? LOL

 

[LeafErikson]

Pegasus.

Pre-STG Sir Walter Raleigh would have worked too but now the stuff is drenched in a disgusting, bitey, vinegar topping.

 

[coming to_falling too]

I think I'd be happy with GH Brown Flake.

To be honest though, if I were stranded on a desert island I would be happy with anything to smoke.

McClelland's Samovar.
As a back-up, McClelland's Drama.
And, in my dreams, 1960s Balkan Sobranie 759.

 

[JOHN72]

Mac Baren Navy Flake, C&D Pirate Kake, Yorktown, Capstan Gold, Mac Baren HH pure virginia. I would also take a pair of plaid flannel pajamas.

 

[judcole]

I should have put Orlik Golden Slices on my list, as well.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Hell, looking over these lists, I'll be travelling with my entire cellar from now on. Then I can just build a raft to get everyone on the island off.
Usually these posts ask for just one blend, ha ha.

OK then I will just take a rucksack filled with GH Dark Plug for its preservation qualities and be thankful.
