Go-To Blends?

Not seeing anything posted other than the title, but I'm assuming this thread is asking members what their go-to blend is. In that case mine is Lane Limited's 1-Q.

965...all day

 

[erichbaumer]

Lately, 965. I rotate through tins and finish them off before opening another, keeping around three open at a time. One of those will be my "go to," always a straightforward english. Westminster, Ashton Consumate Gentleman, 965 and even Nightcap and SOTE Flake have all filled this role. Currently, I'm close to finishing off the 965 I emptied into my pouch and have a tin of Nightcap waiting.

So really, whatever English I have that I know, like and have open.

However, Mr. B's Modern English and McClelland's Grey Havens are starting to make it into the "go to" category.

Eric,
I've been getting the 965 for 3.00 a "heavy" ounce local. Are tins your only option?

 

[erichbaumer]

I said "tins" because that's what I generally have (Nightcap, GLP and C&D blends, etc). I do often buy bulk when possible. This 965 is actually from a 2oz. bag I bought from a Jersey B&M at a pretty good price. At some point I'll be buying more in bulk online.

 

[cortezattic]

Virginia #1 for taste, availability, and affordability in bulk.

Sorry for the no-post guys. I accidentally posted this same thread twice. One with a post and one without. Still not sure how I did that! BTW mine is a blend from my local B&M called C.C. Cavendish. Keep em comin guys!

Thanks a lot 4dotsasieni. That's one of my favorite pipes, an Aran series 03 sitting on my thinking chair.

Escudo for me. I love trying new and different stuff, but Escudo is my "old reliable".
