Thanks for the notes. Black Frigate is one I do not have in the cellar! I do have some Pirate Kake....
I do like English blends w/ Cavendish - maybe I better have a look at that Black Frigate.

And yes, aldecaker, I do have quite a few tins that are probably considered rare. But, I've been out of the game for a while and don't know if they are actually rare or not.
Sadly, I had collected alot of tobacco w/ Syrian from various brands, and now I'm not all to certain I enjoy Syrian. I tried some HH Vintage Syrian recently and was not bowled over - I actually felt that the Syrian kinda left my mouth coated or numb or something less than agreeable. Maybe the tin was too young? Or maybe I don't dig Syrian latakia. I suspect it's the latter because I have enjoyed Wilderness a few times (and these are not new tins) but I get some of the same results. Renaissance and Bohemian Scandal never rang my bells. (I enjoy all of Greg's other blends). I've got Ravens Wing and Mephisto as well - but don't know if I ever tried them!
So - I may need to trade the Syrian away to someone who can appreciate them. I don't think I'm allowed to do that on your forums yet, however, as I'm too new a member. 90 something posts to go....may take me a while!
