I would love to hear your take on James Foxes the bankers it's a cigar leaf blend that tastes suspiciously Cuban to me even the American version which I think might only be different in that it has a sticker over the description turning Cuban into Cuban seed.
Ooh - that one I don't know, (but then again, there are so many out there I don't know, ?). I haven't smoked any cigar leaf based blends as of yet, but that smell of Cuban leaf I can spot a mile away! Sort of makes me think too of what I've seen of some traditional Italian blends that use dark fired Kentucky from Italy; the same that they use in Toscanos and other Italian cigars.

cubans are distinctive. I really like cigar leaf blends. That one is the only one that feels like a replacement for a cigar usually it's an element to the over all effect. But bankers seems like it's shooting for being as close to a cuban as possible. Great blend and it gets weird compliments when I smoke it. People literally are like that smells great but it smells like a cigar so it shouldn't smell great but it smells great.

Hi! Hey - do you know if the Montreal pipe smoking group is still up and running? I think they used to meet occasionally at Stogies.
