If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

[alaskanpiper]

And I assume I'll be smoking a LOT of it since there wouldn't be much else to do.

Haha, if you are stranded on a desert island, you will NEVER be short of things to do.

Good choice regardless.

Lane 1Q... Lets be honest. :D

 

[briarbuck]

McClelland Red and Black. It's 3 blends in one.

 

[jpmcwjr]

1. I will take Penzance
2. I will build a huge sign - Or Radio Broadcast - Penzance available for trade
3. Immediately the traders would find me

You nailed it!! In for the win. But then you might leave the island with one of those traders.....

 

[sandollars]

I wouldn't complain if it was a barrel of fvf.

Please forgive my ignorance; fvf?

 

[jpmcwjr]

FVF= Full Virginia Flake.

I love it when the full name is used the first time, then initials.

 

[zion]

Today I would choose “And So To Bed”.

 

[mngslvs]

Peretti's # 8 slices

 

[peregrinus]

I could smoke St. James Flake for quite a while.

 

[mississippitexan]

i could live on Green Dragon from The Country Squire. ? i will probably cry if they ever stop blending it.

I’d go with McClellands Blackwoods Flake. It‘s never let me down, and if I’m rescued, and there’s any left, I’d have currency in just about any part of the globe.

Gawith, Hoggarth & Co Black Irish X - unsliced. Not only is it a good Smoke, it could also be a useful tool to set up camp.

 

[renfield]

It would have to be McClelland 40th Anniversary.

Anyone picking a Gawith blend would never get them to dry out enough to smoke with the prevailing island humidity. Oh, cruel fates. On the plus side the tobacco could be used to fashion a flame retardant shelter.

 

[Frozenoak]

Well, you can chew it too.

 

[kylef]

I'd probably have to go with one of Vincent Manil's Semois offerings. Just a simple, unique flavor that I wouldn't get tired of.

 

[jmsmitty6]

I'll second the MM 965, but I try to not get stranded on islands anymore

 

[luigi]

I would take a barrel of one that I won't name - to burn it so the plane or a ship that would pass by would save me from the island and take me to the nearest tobacco shop.
Seriously now, for virginias it's best FVF, for burleys maybe Solani Aged Burley Flake. No idea for english blends, Balkan Sasieni is pretty cool but is it english?

 

[alexnc]

Telegraph hill, mellow and a bit sweet. I might could do it though it would be really hard to smoke a single blend

 

[briarbuda48]

MacBaren Vanilla Cream loose cut, GL Pease Temple Bar, The Country Squire’s Green Dragon or Sam Gawith’s BS Flake would all do the trick for me.

Balkan Sasieni is pretty cool but is it english?

if you want to call it that you can. I've seen things called English that prove beyond a doubt that what makes a blend an English is calling it that on the label.
