Smoking Any New (To You) Blends?

[kola]

I just tried a tin of Russ O's Fusiliers Ration. Great stuff.

Smoking Pipes has nearly 1200 tinned tobaccos for sale. I am smoking nothing but new-to-me blends.

How do you guys find esoterica?? I've been searching for a tin of margate and pembroke forever!

I got mine by calling B&M's with little to no Internet presence. I can't remember the last time I got any through the large online stores. They sell out in seconds.

D&R Two Timer (twice toasted burleys, the regular version with no Virginia), and thanks Cosmic and jiminks on this one.

I’ve been smoking a sample pack of Boswells english blends. Fell in love with Railroad Station, Northwoods is good and I enjoy Countryside. Their english blends are very Cavendish forward.

Update:
the Stokkebye family reserve is ……….. Heavenly!!!!!!

On the basis of earlier advice, I have Chelsea Morning and other English blends heading my way. I was getting in a rut with LQ1 and Trout Stream.

Chelsea Morning with some coffee is divine.

People mostly talk about Northwoods, but I really like Countryside and RR Station too. Very underrated.

SPC Plum Pudding, just can't get the hang of it. Oh well plenty more to try

Not the easiest blend (mechanically) for me to smoke. Fusilier's Ration either. I have to rub it out really well and let it dry for a bit. So worth the effort though.

Just opened a tin of Bold Kentucky, which will sit there and taunt me for a week or so.

I just tried C&D Speakeasy - a Navy Flake. I love it's complexity, but the nic is too much for me! It's like the Imperial Stout of tobacco.
I also picked up a sample of Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake and I really like it.

I got the English blends the other day: haven't tried them all but Chelsea Morning, and it't great! To the gents who recommended these English blends, thanks! Something different from all the eros that have been my staples and expanded my repertoire.

Recently I was gifted samples of all of the Frog Morton's. Yesterday I tried On the Bayou, enjoyed it very much and now I'm smoking a bowl of Across the Pond.

Peretti's Thanksgiving Day. I've now smoked 8 bowls of it in 6 different pipes. If anyone wants some.... PM me. It's good, but it's not for me.

Germains Rich Dark Flake. Very creamy and smooth. Been smoking it while drinking tea.

Going to be pricey if I end up getting a 500g bag for the cellar.

Had my first bowl of Manil Le Petit Robin and loved it!

I've been sending and receiving a lot of samples the past two weeks so it's been a real treat to try out a bunch of new blends. Some highlights for me have been Peretti's Thanksgiving Day (thanks ashdigger) and Rattray's Orange (Exotic Passion). These two blends have given me hope that I do not indeed dislike all aromatic blends. I've got a stack of ziplocs and tins to try out now. I will thoroughly enjoy this next few weeks...

I've recently been to Munich, Germany, and grabbed a lot of tins from Diehl, Huber and Zechbauer. I tried the Virginia Flake, by Huber, and it was a great nice surprise (I'm more of an EM smoker).

Diehl Latakia Flake was good, although a bit strong (due to the presence of Kentucky).

More tobaccos to try in the next weeks.

I’ve been enjoying MB Scottish Mixture a lot for a few months now.

My other blends are giving me the stink eye cause I keep reaching for it...everyday.

new to pipe smoking. dunhill navy rolls was nice. so was briarworks back down south. their sweet tea was ok also. ashton guilty pleasure has nice sweetness at the exhale. their winding road is growing on me. cult blood red moon is sweet all over, but burns little hot for me. dunhill navy rolls was amazing when smoked in peterson sh squire. not sure why.
