Getting Ready for Fall.

[autocannon]

Title edited for caps. Please read rule 9.

I usually smoke during the fall and winter and stop in the spring and summer. Got my first order coming in to prepare for the coming fall! I've had the Three Nuns and quite like it. The other two I've never tried.

Regards,
Mike

Excellent choices for fall smoking! Enjoy.

I just bought last month an oz of the Gawith Kendal Dark Vintage Cut, absolutely amazing blend.

I bet it’s not what you are expecting, tell me if I’m right, after you have a bowl? LOL ?

Sip it real slow and easy, then you’ll see what I mean.

I was really thrown by what it is.

I’m really surprised, I’m not hearing much about it here.

Now I'm really excited! I'll let you know when I try it.

The first two are some of the best. I've never tried the Three Nuns.

The Round Slices are a "sleeper" blend.

Not much fanfare but a very good smoke, if you enjoy a bit of dark fired.

Don't be afraid to put some in a jar and let it sit around for a long time.

I find I enjoy it more as it gets "old and crusty".

My wife says similar things about me...

I've not had the KD Vintage Cut, but I enjoy the shag cut, also.

Nice. A refreshing example of restraint. Enjoy your fall smokes.

Sounds like a good mix and variety. Have not had any but heard great things about all three! I also get excited to smoke in the fall and winter, rarely smoking in the summer. I geared up by acquiring some Shepherds Pie from Country Squire.

I tried the Three Nuns after hearing it was a favorite of one of my favorites, C. S. Lewis. I took a liking to it and my wife likes the room note. It's been interesting to see my progression into non aromatics over the years.

I don’t know about the vintage cut but the regular has Malawi in it and damn there ain’t nothing like it , soooooooo good ?

I haven't tried the 1st one, but love the others! Top Rate

It’s the middle of summer mate. Regardless, here are a few suggestions for Fall:

Old Dark Fired
Mick McQuaid
Bothy Flake

Had to try the three nuns cause of the CS Lewis connection but the OG had perique in it and fans of the OG frown on it but I found the bells iteration a fine full bodied smoke , good for what it is …

Yea i'd heard them say it was a poor replacement. But like you, say if it's good it's good.

I'm sure many blends and cigars are poor replacements.

The cigar I smoke as I type this is a Cuban Rounds.. Knock off Cohiba band, and all. Nothing like a cuban.. but it is a good cigar.

The Kendal Dark Vintage Cut is listed as also having Malawi.

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll put them in the "cart" for the future. Also, technicly, you are right. It's still summer. However my wife says it's pre-fall. That means it's fall-ish in the mountains. In my brain, this means I can buy tobacco.

Sturdy burley blends from Peterson for fall might include Irish Flake and 3-P. Amphora Burley fits the same category.

I totally understand. Women love Fall and it's a trend right now for young women to raid stores like Home Goods looking for Fall decor, because stores are already putting out their Fall items. Where I live the hottest months are August and September and it is full blown summer, so it is very strange seeing that.

By pure coincidence I just got a text from World Market saying Christmas items are online now.

Why do you stop smoking in Summer? I love summertime smokes.

Just came in, and first impressions are good, I don't have a lot of experience with the smokey blends but they are growing on me. My wife is not going to like it but that's ok.
I will spend some time with the 1 oz I got and let you know what I think then!

I mainly stop in summer because it's hot and humid ?. Also to give me old body a break to recover from smoking all fall and winter. It's about 87f with a nice intermittent breeze here today and I'm almost comfortable on the front porch in Indian Trail, NC.
