Full Body Tobacco

[Briar Lee]

Hey there,

I am looking for a non aromatic, non Latakia tobacco to try that has a full body. I'd like something that has a "chewy" feel to the smoke. I have tried some blends with Dark-Fired Kentucky in it, like C&D Burley #5 which is pretty close to what I am after. Any recommendations to try next that give that thick feeling smoke?

Thanks!

(And if you want more strength then grind up Cotton Boll Twist in a coffee grinder.)

I'll add GLP Triple Play as a good meaty smoke.

I’m blending 80% c&d dark burley with 20% c&d white burley lately. I mix it well, jar it up, let it sit a few weeks. A very nice smoke —similar to what I think you’re describing

Best Brown No: 2

Along with the other great suggestions above, GLP and C&D have some blends that present that to me: GLP Navigator, Jackknife plug or RR, C&D Five o’clock Shadow, Exhausted Rooster come to mind.

Yeeeeesss
I would add G. L. Pease Cumberland to that list.

Ahhhh. Haven’t had Cumby in a while. Maybe I should crack a tin.

Regular is great, even better with a couple of years on it. Better than that, even, with a couple of years plus a little but if airing. But have you tried the 20th anniversary release?

Awesome. Haven’t smoked it in years but I have an 8oz time in the cellar from 2005.

Sadly haven’t tried any of the 20tj anniversary blends.

Other than the C&D Burley Flakes, GH Kendal Dark Shag and Brown Irish Twist come to mind.

I’ll add Tabac Manil Semois. Fantastic stuff. No need to worry about drying it. It’s dry as a bone! The way it’s meant to be smoked!

Another vote for Dark Birdseye here

Of course your mileage may vary but I've found that a light topping of doe estrus to any of my regular blends usually does the trick when I'm in the mood for a stouter smoke.

For those of us in areas devoid of deer, would you recommend substituting with, oh say, kangaroo?

Whole Leaf Tobacco Canadian VA plus Dark Air blended somewhere between 8:1 and 4:1. That's gon be good.
