Just Another Simple But Pleasing Smoke

[nsfisher]

Tonight I mixed up 50/50 CH and PA, filled my 1970 3 Dot Brigham (without filter), lit it up and was pleasantly pleased with the results. No bite, smooth, stays lit well, and was completely uncomplicated. Just a fine, all around smoke, for those who enjoy the simple things in life.

I didn't like PA, but I'm thinking I should get another pack along with some Carter Hall and Half and Half to try mixing with those. If it's still crap, I send it off to someone who will appreciate it more.

Sounds good, fisher. I like PA, but have never tried CH.
I make my own "OTC" burley with C&D bulk white burley (bake it for 2hrs with a little honey) and last night I mixed it with a little bulk light VA. Probably similar to your mixture. Simple is good, sometimes.

PA is alright but I was never enamoured with the codger burleys.
I'd take them over aromatics every time, but in general they aren't my thing.
Still, sounds like a good blend for those who enjoy the style - thanks for the heads up.

Over the past three weeks or so I've tried blending many different tobaccos with CH but every time I just get the impression that I took a perfectly nice blend and f*kd it up by adding CH. I might just go and donate my tub of CH to the Salvation Army or something like that...

You're a Canadian, right? Why not PM a fellow Canadian here who enjoys CH and trade/donate it to him instead of the Salvation Army?

:clap:

You got an old folks home around you? Might be an old codger who would appreciate that tub of tobbaco, I supply a couple of old men Tobbaco and pipes , they are living on 32$ a month so they appreciate it, just a thought. The old cajun

I like PA alone or mixed with just about anything. It's a perfect neutral, IMHO.

hfearly, If you don't find a more worthy recipient, I would gladly pay at least the shipping to take it off your hands, if you are in Canada? I don't have much in the way of a cellar yet and have a hard time acquiring tobacco where I live without importing it. I also have one briar I am just breaking in (and hopefully more in the near future) and have heard that CH is ideal for break-in. I don't want to sound like a mooch or anything, I just don't want to see you throw it away. I have only tried a single bowl of CH and have been curious about it (and similar old time blends). PM me if you are interested...
