Favorite blend in 2014

[jmsutton]

Frog Morton's Cellar or Mississippi River.

 

[derfargin]

2014 blend is Lancer Slices.

 

[dottiewarden]

Best Non-aromatic: Frog Morton On The Bayou
Best Aromatic: Mac Baren Cube Silver
Irish Flake by Peterson would've bumped the FMOTB, but it's just too nic heavy for me to smoke every day!

 

[tuold]

"Balkan Supreme" with "Larry's Blend" as a close second.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Balkan Sobranie

 

[boilermakerandy]

Dunhill London Mixture.

I'm about 8 months or so into my career as a pipe smoker. I've had lots of time to get involved and I have tried maybe? 30 blends?....I haven't found one that I wouldn't keep. It's been a revelation.

I guess if I had to answer as if it were a "yes" or "no" question...it's gotta be one of the tins I got in the 5 tins for $29.99 deal @ P&C. Among those were Balkan Sasieni, Knighcap, WhiteKnight. I've enjoyed these immensely.

I will always try to have some good VaPa, VaBur, and codger blends on hand, but the latakia and orientals have opened my eyes even more.

This has been a great first year of pipes and tobacco for me, thanks in no small measure to the input of my forum friends and contributors!

Thanks for everything.

Man...tried a number of new blends this year but I guess I can narrow it down to 2 that are tied:
GLP Gaslight and C&D Pirate Kake.

 

[davidintexas]

H&H Annv.Kake for a VaPer and Scotty Buttnernut Burley for an aromatic

 

[tennsmoker]

Mr. P's Gaslight and Sixpence blew me away, but by far my fav for 2014 was C&D Bayou Morning Flake. It's just plain scrumptious.

 

[jcochey]

Frog Morton Cellar was by far my favorite blend of 2014. I have a feeling it will probably be my "go to" blend again this year.

 

[crusher47]

Frog Morton Cellar w/Squadron Leader as a close 2nd.

 

[bigboi]

For me I would say my favorite was

Orlik Golden Slice and Capstan Blue

Then would come

PS Bullseye Flake

SPC Mississippi River

Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake

C & D Habana Daydream

 

[ember]

This was my first yr smoking a pipe and I tried a few of the popular things people talked about in this forum ie frog Morton celler, molto dolce, and bought a few blends from Boswell my fav of last yr was Pipers Pleasure from Boswells.
