Just when I think I have my TAD under control...

Wow, great tin art!!

Just when I think I have my TAD under control...

I know right. I cannot say no to a new Pease blend.

 

[greeneyes]

I observe a situation wherein:

[1] there is a finite quantity of quality leaf, and
[2] there is a company with a growing portfolio of pipe tobaccos

I also observe that the quality of flagship blends, like Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie has deteriorated significantly over time (in this instance I have the "old" and "new" tobacco to prove it).

Thus, I can only conclude that the best quality leaf is earmarked for new blends within an expanding portfolio in order to create a consumer base, and this reapportionment of quality leaf is made at the expense of certain long-standing blends in the portfolio that have established consumer bases.

Tobacco is a tough business.

Pressed Haddos?

Lost me at Perique.

Pressed Haddos? Maybe, but Haddos is sweet and has some plum topping going on too.

I think it’s brandy rather than rum maybe? But seems same ingredients otherwise

Apparently same ingredients

I like Haddo's but don't need a flake version of it really. Otherwise this sounds like something I'd smoke.

 

[haparnold]

"Same ingredients" in no way implies that blends will be more than marginally similar. Heck, Penzance and Early Morning Pipe have the same ingredients as far as I recall. Nobody calls Penzance "Pressed EMP".

I'm pretty excited about this, but not inordinately so. Mostly I'm just glad people still release new blends amidst all the doom and gloom surrounding the future of pipe tobacco.

Even with my nautical interest and love of rum, I can't find any desire to buy it.

No, but I call EMP smokable.

I have mild interest. I do like Haddos

I call Penzance a salt encrusted turd.
do they call capstan ready rubbed a different name from the flake?

You’re talking also about two completely different manufacturers. I’m talking about C&D. So if the same company presses a product yes, it’s the same product.
