Other threads have been fun and got me thinking. So here are the rules:

1) The tobacco must be reasonably available. No unobtainiums.

2) Unlimited $ funds.

3) Limited to 5 Lbs total.

4) Pretend it's the only tobacco you'll ever be able to cellar.

I'll post my list after thinking about it a bit more.

My experience is still in the development stage so I will just go with what I know:

1/2 pound Country Squire (CS) Sheppard's pie = English
1/2 pound CS Old Toby = (Adult puffy ) Aromatic
1/2 pound CS Northwest Trek = Aromatic English
1/2 pound Peter Heinrich's Curly Block = Va/Per
1/2 pound Gawith and Hoggarth Dark Plug = Va/Bur
1/2 pound McClelland (Syrian) 3 Oaks = Balkan
1/2 pound Peterson Elizabethan Mixcture = Va/Per
1/2 pound McClelland Blackwoods Flake = Straight Virginia
1/2 pound Esoterica Dunbar = Va/Per
1/2 pound Esoterica Margate = English

I could also live with @alaskanpiper s choices too. Very similar tastes. puffy

Haha indeed. I assumed McC wasn’t fair game because of the “reasonably available” statute, but if it is, I’d replace my FVP with 40th anniversary. Which conveniently, I already have .5lbs of, so I guess for me it is certainly “reasonably available” haha.

This is harder than I thought but:

1 Lb - SG St James Flake
.5 Lb - GH&C Dark Flake Unscented
.5 Lb - GH&C Happy Bogie Unscliced
.5 Lb - SP Plum Pudding SR
.5 Lb - Peterson Nightcap
1 Lb - Sutliff Sweet VA
1 Lb - GH&C American Delight

The nightcap could be replaced with Penzance but I think it's too hard to get right now to strictly follow the rules.

Also I could trade a half Lb of the American Delight for another aro but I can't think of one I enjoy as much right now.

The 5 Lb limit and "reasonably available" really makes for good contemplation but that's the fun of it. I also enjoy comparing others responses with my choices.

I might just go for Gaslight.

If we're allowed multiple blends I'd throw in some Ennerdale.

Or maybe just stick with Carter Hall.
Yes you're allowed multiple blends.

Re-reading my original post I wasn't clear about that.

One blend for life isn't a game I want to play. I'd probably just quit smoking.
