Frog Morton's Cellar

[jmsutton]

Over the last year I have tried all sorts of different Lat blends. Some of them have opened my eyes and heart towards "proper" English blends. Non-aromatics never seemed like something I would enjoy until I started searching, and I am now in love. However, I do enjoy the sweetness of some aromatics. I was looking for somewhere in between the spice of oriental blends and the sweetness of aromatics (I am a huge fan of chocolate and vanilla together). I read a few reviews about Frog Morton's Cellar, so I ordered some.... I found the perfect mix. It is sweet enough to call it sweet, yet peppery and spicy enough to taste to Latakia. I fell in love with the scent that came from the tin, and was eager to light it up. The first light made me glad I had spent the money. It burned well all the way through, and one bowl lasted a long time. No relights, just the perfect combination of sweet and spice, and left an amazing aroma in my apartment with a good aftertaste to boot! Will definitely be ordering more of it.

I love it too. I'm becoming an evangelist of all the Frogs with Cellar at the head of the pack.

toadshade:
Since the science of the study of frogs and such is called "herpetology," I guess that we are going to have to start referring to you as our Herpipetologist!
Incidentally, I have yet to try Frog Morton's Cellar, but it is now on my list.

Hunter... you are punny. You should have your own one man show. It could be a Play On Words.

FMC is a good blend. I just it (and the other Froggy's) had more nic.

Thank-you. I believe that it was Samuel Johnson who referred to the pun as the lowest form of humor.
Having said that, I wonder: If Frog Morton's sales continue to increase, then do you suppose that he will finally move out of the Cellar?

I really like Cellar and smoked some just last night.

'Pack' should refer to wolves where a group of frogs would be called an army,a chorus or a colony and a group of Toads would be called a Knot.
Don't know what a group of Herpetologists is called but I'll make one up, drum roll - 'A sniffle of herpetologists.'
Out of the Chorus of Frogs I've tried I rate Cellar as Number 1, On the Bayou as Number 2, and Across the Pond as a close third. On the Town is in the mail clearing it's throat to join in the resounding chorus of it's Froggy Brethern sometime tomorrow.
A group of Frogs is also called a Box of Ribbets.

And thanks for the new title Hunter!
I can safely say I've never been called that before!

I like all the FM series as well. I might rank them slightly different than toadshade but Cellar would rank #1 and certainly ranks in my overall top five tobaccos right now.

 

[grouchydog]

Man, that sounds good - I've wondered if FMC is too light for where I'm at right now, but you're making it sound mighty fine... I may have a tin in my copy-paper-box, errrr... I mean "cellar", I should check...

 

[CherokeeBilly]

Do yourself a favor Grouchy and look. Out of all the FM tobaccos its #1 easily and in my top 10 tobaccos for sure. OTT is my #2 in that line but cellar kicks its butt for sure.

About 6 months ago, I got a can of FM Cellar, and really enjoyed it. Then it kind of got lost in the shuffle of trying new tobaccos, until last month I got a can of FM On the Town. After a couple of bowls, I figured I needed to get the Cellar out and compare them. Currently, I love them both, but the On the Town is edging out the Cellar a little. I suppose I'll have to order all the rest now to see how much I like them too!

 

[johnnyreb]

Orley, I like OTT also and would rate it just behind Cellar.

 

[smeigs]

One of my favorite blends ever.

 

[bulldogbriar89]

FMC is one of my favorite blends I always keep 4 tins in my cellar and a tobacco jar full of the blend. it is an awesome blend I could smoke all the time.

 

[tobyducote]

I love all the FM blends!! Cellar is fantastic!

 

[tanless1]

All these years i thought the great gildersleve was frogmorton, recently

I found out its Throckmorton.....was i ever chagrined.

 

[minfarshaw]

This is a good blend. I've got some on the drying board right now. Can't wait to smoke some. It's gonna go well with my Black and Tan.

Cellar is a great blend; it was one of the tobaccos that broke me out of the aromatic mold. OTT is good and I just got a tin of On the Bayou; will be interested in how FMOTB ranks with Cellar and OTT
