If You Could Only Smoke One Brand . . .

[withnail]

One more "Favourite" question. We've had your favourite blend and top three recently. This time; If you were only allowed to smoke blends from a single brand which would you choose?
For me it would be a little tricky as my number one favourite blend at the moment is Dunhill Flake, but I am less keen on Dunhills other blends. They are all great quality, just not to my taste.
If I was limited to the tobaccos from a single manufacturer, it would be from Samuel Gawith. They make a wonderful English blend with Squadron Leader, a nice gentle aromatic in eitehr Celtic Talisman or Grousemoor and my favourite "Navy" blend with their Navy Flake
Which single Brand would you choose and why? Is it because they make your favourite blend or, like me, because they have a good selection you enjoy?

It would be a close call for me between either MacBaren or McClelland, but I think that McClelland would have the slight edge if nothing else for the fact that they make the Frog Morton series, which has been my go to lately. MacBaren makes a really quality tobacco at a great price though, and I have not tried a blend yet from them that I didn't like. On the other hand, McClelland is based in my fathers home town of Kansas City, Missouri, so I like the hometown pride. Can we pick two? :mrgreen:

I never tire of these threads because they provide the opportunity to assess and re-assess what we find important and preferred. They also spark new ideas.
That said, the favored brand is something that requires no thought on my part.
Gawith Hoggarth and Co above all else!

Peter Stokkebye Great products and great prices ::

Cornell and Diehl is really good but I'd probably go with MacBaren. Is the stuff that Scotty makes at pipes and cigars considered a brand?

 

[tiltjlp]

As much as I love Middleton products, I'll have to say Mac Baren.

 

[tobakenist]

Mine has to be Gawith & Hoggarth because of the vast range they produce, their flakes, ready rubbed and plug are all enticing and there is a blend for every pipe smokes tastes.

 

[group4]

Easy for me -- I only smoke C&D blends, or almost.

 

[spyder71]

I would have to say Cornell and Diehl because their blends are the top two on my top three list, and I'm sure they have something to replace my PA with if need be.

This is impossible for me to answer, to many favorites in to many brands.

+1

 

[puffy]

I like blends from a lot of different blenders.If I had to pick just one though it would be McClelland it's my over all favorite.

 

[gecko13]

Impossible to answer. Maybe Peter Skokkebye

 

[dburrows]

What brands have the most blends to choose from? C&D have over 200, and that might be a good reason to go with them.

+ 3

On C & D, They have enough variety to keep me going.

 

[terry]

Too many varibles in that question...for some..the answer might be how much nicotine is in the blend...for others...it might be the room note...just saying!

 

[ohin3]

Samuel Gawith or McClelland. I smoke more Samuel Gawith than anything at the moment because it is readily available at my local B&M, but both have a high quality and quite varied selection of tobaccos.

 

[pawpaw]

well i am gonna haffta say C&D

 

[yohanan]

It would probably be McClelland. ::

 

[iowamike]

I would have to go with McClelland also.

 

[misternoah]

Another McClelland vote I suppose. That's a deceptively hard question to answer!
