New Tobaccos! Which Do I Open First?!

[pipedreams86]

Hey guys! Just received my next package of tobaccos from the States..trying to decide which to crack open first for a smoke...what would you guys open and smoke first?

 

[woodsroad]

That's a nice assortment! If you like the BB1938, then be sure to try Russ's take on Baby's Bottom. It's even better.

Open the square tin. The seals don't last as long on those.... :lol:
That's the best input I have, as I've not yet tried any of these. Two do live in my cellar, though.
I doubt there's a wrong choice there.

Nice lot of tobacco, all look good enough to eat let alone smoke.

I would go for the squadron leader.

Let us know what you think off them.

I love me some frog cellar

 

[mcitinner1]

I'd open the one you really want to smoke first. :nana:

Probably whatever you want at the moment. However, Virginia ages well, whereas Lat can go flat faster when it is aged a few years. Burley and Turkish/Orientals keep pretty well. But if you have a particular hankering, I'd just go for it. If we're just talking a year or two, I wouldn't worry about the square tins, but that's just my notion.

Latakia does not lose its flavor in a few years! And there's anecdotal evidence saying it can be fine after twenty. (And it's all anecdotal, just depends on who's doing the dotaling!)
And I agree with the two preceding posts except for the latakia comment.

 

[jndyer]

Go for the Escudo for the win.

To me it looks you wanted to show what you got which is pretty nice.

You should open what is inspiring you now and only you know the answer.

 

[nevadablue]

Let us know what you picked. I'm off to do some Frog Morton Cellar in my half built cobbit. :D

 

[cortezattic]

Escudo. ::
(You can smoke the others later -- while waiting to receive your order to replenish the Escudo.)

 

[jaytex1969]

Or, toss all of the tins in a pillow case and draw at random?

 

[woodsroad]

Or empty them all into a pillow case and enjoy the new blend.

 

[johnbarleycorn]

Open them all and jar them. That way you see what you think of every one. But maybe that explains why I have over 30 tins open at all times.

 

[lazar]

If you've never had the Frog, I'd go for that one because it's probably the most unique of the lot.

 

[deathmetal]

Lots of good options there, so you can't screw it up whatever you do.

 

[3rdguy]

Been wanting to try the Squadron myself...

 

[mawnansmiff]

At the end of the day you and you alone will decide which to open first so bit of a pointless question really.
Would you ask the forum what colour shirt you should wear next Friday :crazy:
Just open them all up and enjoy them then write up a review of each would be my suggestion.
Regards,
Jay.
