Guess The Blend Based on Tin Art

[tobefrank]

tobefrank got it; sorry I got so out of step with the game -- didn't solve the previous post, and wasn't around to respond to the prompts. Altogether AWOL. That Frog Morton Cellar art is among my favorites, highly imaginative.

No worries. I have been missing from the game as well. A man has to sleep and not all of us are in the US/Canada timezone. Happy to hear I guessed it right. I really like the Frog Morton tin art as well.

Palm trees and a pirate ship, a nice tropical sunset.

I don't think that this is quite right but I'll have a guess anyway: Solani 633?

No sir. Here's a pic of the tin art without showing the name:

Very nice. I haven't got a clue though.

Well , since no one has guessed it... It's one of my favourite blends, I don't mention it on here much because it's always in stock and I like that. Light English based on dark burley, it's the first blend I ever smoked all the way through a tin without jarring any.

I'll go next. Yellow and green. Smart looking fellow smoking a pipe on the front.

I am sorry folks, I will just chime in if you don't mind. Let's see who can guess all of my riddles?

1 - A blend from Chicagoland Pipe Show
Has almost all kinds of tobacco
The tin has a house on it as an art
This beauty is blended by Russ Ouellette

2 - Picture of a device to make some tea,
The hint is 1995, CPCC

3 - What is that? An instrument for navigation
The first 3 letters form a word related to biological identification

4 - A compass picture on the pouch
An aromatic, but not goopy to the touch

#3 - G.L. Pease Sextant

 

[cosmicfolklore]

1. Blackhouse
4. Navigator?

 

[jvnshr]

#3 - G.L. Pease Sextant

Right

1. Blackhouse
4. Navigator?

1 - Correct
4 - Wrong. Although it has a compass picture on it, it is not an Aromatic but VaBur. I simply don't expect anyone to find number 4, it is not a well known blend.

I have just been knocking my head on the wall with #2. 1995 was like one of the first years of the pipe show, so I was guessing that either McClellands or C&D made it. But, as I scan through their tins, I don't find a teapot, spoon, nor a teacup on any of their blends.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

#2... Somavar!

 

[jvnshr]

#2... Somavar!

Correct Michael. Soothing as a cup of rich Russian tea.

I just love creating those riddles, I apologize again for breaking the rules, I just couldn't resist. Do you guys want some more?
