I quit posting about tobaccos I really like because of the excessive buying/hoarding. I'm pretty sure there's no danger of that happening here because it's not a VA, VAPER, or heavy English (they seem to be the most heavily hoarded). Anyway, Hearth & Home Daybreak gets no love, and I don't really understand why. I'm smoking some I jarred from bulk back in 2012, and it's just delicious. Obviously, it's not a Lat bomb, but I don't really care for those, especially not early in the day.
What it is, is a well-rounded, easy puffing smoke. I find it a little more full and round than Dunhill EMP. Honestly, a little closer to London Mixture than EMP, but then I haven't smoked EMP in a while -- the last time I did, it was the older stuff. Maybe I'm somewhat of an oddity in that I like balanced blends. I'll smoke lat bombs and Balkans, but I like blends where the different varietals complement each other rather than one type stealing the show. Maybe some people are of the mindset, "Why buy Daybreak when I can buy EMP?" From my standpoint, Daybreak (and McClelland AM Pipe) are better than EMP.
Does anyone else like this blend, or has it gone "Downhill" over the past couple years?
