Since SmokingPipes have bulk C&D on sale currently, I thought I should pick something up. I've been enjoying the ODF lately, is there a similar offering from C&D?

Also, would appreciate any English/Scottish/Latakia recommendations. Thanks!

For English bulk try Stratfordshire and Cordial. Both are Scottish blends as I see it. Big burley Golden ash and bayou night might interesting. There's Smooth English and Odessa. Constellation and Old court. All are very interesting to experiment with.

For me the old world tobaccos/ woodsmoke that go into ODF are so different than the base tobaccos that c&d uses that I can’t think of one truly similar. But if you’ve never tried c&d’s dark fired Kentucky, or their blends that feature it, you might wanna. Again it’s different, but I personally prefer dark fired Kentucky to ODF

I was thinking about picking up DFK, thanks for reassuring that!
