My Chance to Smoke Some American Blends

[seamusjft]

Hey guys. Two questions if you can help. My freind is taking a holiday in Vegas next week and will pick me up some baccy

I enjoy quite Smokey, reasonable nicotine kick, non aromatics.

What would be your recommendation for this most probably once in a lifetime chance

and

Can anyone suggest an easily accessible tobacconist in Vegas. Bearing in mind although he's my best pal, he is a gambler and won't want to stray far from the strip!

The best tobacconist in Vegas, as far as selection goes, is probably the Tobacco Leaf. There's two locations, one in Henderson and one in Summerlin. I've only been to the Summerlin one, which is off the 95 and Rainbow about a fifteen minute drive from the strip. They have a very good selection of tins at a reasonable price, around $15 a tin. Typically he's stocked up on McClelland, Peterson, Mac Baren, and Dunhill to name a few.

I would have your friend pick up the following American blends from GL Pease.
Odyssey

Caravan

Haddo's Delight if you are a Perique lover.

Cumberland if you like a very complex virginia burley type blend.
When I was a smoker of English blends, in my opinion no one did them better than Mr Pease. You can read descriptions about his stuff here...http://www.smokingpipes.com/tobacco/by-maker/g-l-pease/index.cfm

I would give my leg for a can of Haddo's Delight.

When I was in Vegas for the West Coast Pipe Show a few months ago, the Tobacco Leaf seemed to be the B&M of choice & they had two locations. I wanted to go to the Tobacco Leaf, but the pipe show took up a lot of my time.........as well as everything else that Vegas has to offer. Hoping to make it to there next fall when I go to the Vegas pipe show again.

Mac Baren Old Dark Fired is another good one

I third the Haddo's Delight suggestion. It's been a nice diversion.
That and a cup of coffee are a great way to start the day.
