If you could only smoke one blend...

[rick3wood]

Sillems Black, of course

I would need one Virginia and one balkan:
507-C Virginia Slices (easy to get)
Smoker's Haven In-B-Tween (unobtainable)

 

[Kobold]

Probably the burley based English blend I get at my local store. I reach for that the most but I do like to have a large variety.

There's a reason the codger blends are mild - they smoked it all day. I would likely gravitate toward something like that - Mark Twain, Estate, PA, CH and whatnot.

Cornell & Diehl Yorktown..............

On an average day I have a hard time picking one blend for my next smoke, never mind for the rest of my life. But I'll play along:

D&R Rimboché AB

It has the best of all worlds. A little bit of Latakia, some Dark Fired leaf and real-deal perique in one, high quality Virginia. Ages wonderfully. Would I get tired of smoking it every day? Absolutely.

 

[burleybreath]

A Revelation clone, probably Epiphany.

There are a few others that would be good and fine. The Blend for Cary Grant is a favorite too. Both have a certain unobtrusive but great way about them. I also find for a a VA yorktown is forgiving. For a VA that is.

It would be Dunbar for me. But since it's so hard to acquire it on a consistent basis, the next best thing for me would be either G&H Curly Cut Deluxe or Dan's Salty Dogs.

Dockworker

 

[J.Henry845]

G&H Ennerdale or Bob’s Chocolate Flake. I can go either way as they are both all-day smokes for me.

 

[Gimlet]

One thing's for sure, there's a shed load more tobaccos I need to try.

yeah this post makes me realize I need some new smokes to try because why the heck not.

If you had to pick just one blend to smoke for the rest of your smoking days, what would you choose?

As I answered to this in another thread, I'd choose to quit smoking a pipe. There isn't a blend I've tried, and granted it's a small cross section at about 700 blends, that wouldn't outlast its welcome.

Here lately I've been primarily smoking Watch City Simply Red and I haven't grown tired of it yet. If all I had access to were Watch City blends I'd be A OK.

That's a very difficult question for me as I really like variety. But if I HAD to smoke only one blend, then it would probably something that offers more than just one dimension depending on the age.

For me, that would probably be PS Luxury Navy Flake. I wouldn't necessarily call it my favorite. Maybe not even in my top 5 blends of all time. But it probably changes the most of any other blend in my cellar with age.

When it's young, it is bright, sweet and almost aromatic in character. But as it ages it develops deeper more nuanced flavors more akin to a darker Va/Per blend.

So in essence, I could smoke the same blend, but depending on the age I would get very different flavor profiles so I can still enjoy the variety of flavors that I like.

A second on LNF.

Peterson's Standard Mixture would be a top contender for me. Years past Dunhill Standard Mixture was my everyday default. For a time before that it was GLP Renaissance but I'm almost out of that one.

If it’s only one and that's it?
I could make C&D Exclusive work in a survival bunker apocalypse situation or never getting a restock.
As long as I have enough on hand then Im good.

 

[Mrs. Pickles]

Every time I smoke Manil Semois I ask myself why I bother buying anything else.

I couldn't do it id get bored eventually.
