One Year, Only One Brand Blender -- Which?

[mikefu]

It’s a toss up for me between Mac Baren, Gawith Hoggarth, and Hearth and Home. They are all so unique that it’s hard to decide between them.

 

[burleyboy]

Tough question for me. My favourite all day smoke is Dunhill (soon will be Peterson's) Elizabethan Mixture, but as I do not quite enjoy their other blends, I'd probably stick to Cornell & Diehl to have a wider palette.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Germaine.

I wouldnt even be mad.

 

[glassjapan]

McClelland's....and if I happen to outlive my supply, then Samuel Gawith.

 

[mityahicks]

C & D for variety, then G&H and then GLP.

 

[creole]

HU by a mile.

 

[luigi]

MacBaren HH line. Still have to try some well known producers, such as HU and Heart&Home.

 

[derhammer]

Another one for C&D

 

[cortezattic]

Mac Baren

 

[irishearl]

I only occasionally buy some non-C&D blend, recently being Old Dark Fired. But, it's pretty much all C&D as they have what I like at the prices I like.

 

[oldtoby]

JF Germain & Son

 

[didimauw]

C&D all the way for me.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Standard Tobacco of PA.

 

[stbruno70]

Greg Pease.
He has something refined for all tastes.

 

[kola]

GLP, hands down. I'm surprised to see only 2 picks for his blends.

 

[mso489]

I'll stick with C&D, but I could coast with my Dunhill, Seattle Pipe Club, Home and Hearth, or McClellan blends, choosing one for the year. Peter Stokkebye would be another possible choice, a nice array at moderate prices.

 

[alaskanpiper]

GLP, hands down. I'm surprised to see only 2 picks for his blends.

I was also surprised not to see this name come up more. It was a tough choice for me between GLP and Rattray's. I thought many more people would be on the GLP train on this thread.

 

[mso489]

GLP does some beautiful blends, some a little milder than I'm used to, and burley not as often as I'd like, but an amazing touch, real artistry.

 

[peregrinus]

Samuel Gawith. This would not be difficult as these days I smoke St. James flake 90% of the time, a great Virginia flake with just enough Perique. After that being a V/P smoker then JF Germain & Son, the Best Brown Flake is good. Finally, between all the McClelland’s tobacco’s you could conceivably concoct nearly anything.

 

[sumusfumus]

I think I'd enjoy smoking my way thru most of John Patton's mixtures. "Storm Front" is real easy to live with.
