Desert Island Blends

[jbfrady]

Picture this: You've gone on a trip and you have your 3 favorite blends with you, each an unopened tin. Next thing you know, your trip goes awry and you're stranded among strangers. Somewhere along the way, you lost one tin and it's nowhere to be found. You crack one open to share with your new compatriots as a peacemaking measure and you've got one tin left for moments when you're alone in thought, presumably to await rescue.

What were those 3 favorites? One to be lost forever, one to be perpetually enjoyed with others, one to be consumed alone.

I've never gotten around to trying the Father. Maybe I'll have to sample it soon.

Tin only, no bulk...this complicates matters slightly, but I think I can find a workaround.

Lost: Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake
Share: Ashton Artisans Blend
Keep: Drew Estate Gatsby Luxury Flake

All I can say is, I hope it's a speedy rescue.

I'd be perfectly content with losing a tin of C&D's The Beast. I'd share a tin of Gaslight knowing that no first time pipe smoker would likely smoke it a second time, leaving me with the rest of it. And for myself... Not the most glamorous but I'd keep a tin of C&D Burley Flake #1 to enjoy in solitude.

 

[proteus]

For me on tins only I would bring three of c&d opening night.

[The Amish Tyrant]

Is this like the pipe smoking version of marry, fornicate, kill?

Hopefully, it wouldn't turn into what occurred with Endurance or Alive.

 

[jbfrady]

It would be a painful loss, but I'd lose the Cobblestone Virginia Plug, share a Seattle Barrel Aged Plum Pudding, and hog the Sutliff Anomalous to myself.

Red Rapparee, Father Dempsey, 965 - in no particular order.
