If You Could Save One Tobacco from the FDA Deeming Regulations

[metalheadycigarguy]

Ok guys... what one tobacco would you save from the FDA Deeming Regulations if you had the chance to save one? That means any tobacco's created/blended after February 2007. Well... what are going to save?

Twisted. I love it.
Mine would be Frog Morton's Cellar. I have only smoked it once, along with on the town, but this is the post 2007 one of the bunch. Tar and feathers for anyone who wouldst taketh it away.

 

[danielplainview]

Just what I smoke. You guys are on your own.

Man, that's a tough one. I guess I'd have to toss a coin between John Cotton's 1&2 and Tuskegee Airman.

I'll cheat a bit. Christmas Cheer.

 

[wyfbane]

SPC Plum Pudding
But Tom's suggestion of Christmas Cheer get a nod, as well.

What would expect me to answer?...lol
Penzance and a whole boatload of people will agree by evidence of what they are paying for it these days.

Standard Tobacco of Pennsylvania's Bengal Slices

Penzance and a whole boatload of people will agree by evidence of what they are paying for it these days.

Why Penzance? Penznace has been around, more or less continually, since 1989, so it's not in danger, unless Germain's decides to discontinue making it, which I wish they would.
McCrainie's Red Ribbon.
Seriously though, I'm pretty well stocked, so I'm not really buying much of anything anymore.

 

[woodsroad]

Hobie, Penzance is safe.

For now.

It predates the cutoff.

That one's swan song was last year. Most of my cellar is pre 2007, and my post 2007 cellar is well stocked. I'm good.

Tom DID say he was cheating. I say let him have that one.
I wanted to mention that I did get the last 3 tins possibly anywhere of Pike Place at the PNW meet up 2 weeks ago. That stuff is Awesome. I waited til everyone got a tin or so then vultured the rest. I will miss that one, Potlatch, and Mississippi River, but That damned Plum Pudding is just smokey magic for me. Maybe because Joe Lankford is just such a damned nice guy. Makes me feel like I am honoring him when I smoke the stuff. Dunno, Just awesome tobacco.

 

[fmgee]

Wyfbane I have to agree with you. SPC Plum Pudding would be top of my list. Quickly followed by GLP Quiet Nights.

 

[cosmicbobo]

How much difference between the Plum Pudding and Special Reserve?

 

[pipesmokingtom]

The FDA is the only reason last year for 2017 was the last... It counts that way.
It's cheating because it's different every year and it's a single-crop Virginia, not a blend.

 

[Chasing Embers]

It did surprise me that they released an anniversary blend this year though.

When did Frog Morton's Cellar come out?

Too recently, I'm afraid.
