So What Are You Not Smoking!

[agnosticpipe]

Just to be contrary, what tobaccos are you not smoking. You know, the stuff that you tried and have no intention of ever smoking again.
For me, Captain Bob's Blend, and, well that's about it.... uh, maybe Crooner too.

"So What Are You Not Smoking..."
Mixture 79.

 

[ashdigger]

Ten Russians

 

[pagan]

Basically anything from Sutliff, just nasty stuff also anything from Esoterica, highly overrated

 

[sallow]

Sam Gawith Firedance Flake. I was disappointed with this one, I wanted a mild version of University Flake but there is no tobacco underneath.
McClelland Blackwoods Flake. I can't find the flavor that everyone raves about.

 

[huntertrw]

Five Brothers (unless you are an ardent devotee of cheap cigarettes made from floor-sweepings).

 

[deathmetal]

All the Lakelands of the world are safe from me, but Brown Twist Sliced is on the menu!

 

[mayfair70]

Nothing.

 

[johnbarleycorn]

Cabbies mixture. To me it was like smoking a pepper packet from a fast food restaurant. And I love Samuel Gawith.

Paladin cherry and Middleton Cherry. Yuck.

I hesitate to say any Lakeland, because I have found some without that rose geranium stuff that was pretty good. But, if it has that rose stuff, nope.

All Virginia tobacco's I have purchased this year. Rumor has it they get better with time. ::

 

[johnbarleycorn]

Virginias are where its at. Be patient @okiebrad.

peckinpahhombre's Mixture 69:

 

[johnbarleycorn]

I enjoy a damp and pungent....... Experience.

 

[cossackjack]

+1 for Capt Bob's Blend (bizarre grape soda taste), & almost all other Aro's.
+1 for Lakelands - just can't get past the soapy, perfume taste.
Mixture No.79 is, as my Kansan wife would say, "Ain't half bad" (meaning it is at least >50% not-bad, though not necessarily good).
I think that Mixture No.69 would be far too moist to smoke, but I think that you could chew it!
(But, I love 10 Russians, Cabbie's Mixture, Blackwoods Flake & 5 Brothers)

 

[cosmicfolklore]

If I was forced to, and it was the only tobacco on the market, I could make myself like Mixture 79. I mean it's bad. I'm not crazy about any actual tobacco taste it has, and that topping, ug. But, I smoked Charlseton cigarettes for a few years, ha ha.

 

[tobaccojoe]

Honestly...probably only the Peter Stokkebye line of luxury bulk. I've only had it aged 6-9 months and still can't get over that vanilla/cheap rum casing flavor. Not a terrible smoke by any means, but not worth me investing anymore cash in.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Excluding And So To Bed, and Pembroke, anything made by Esoterica. Also Angler's Dream because it was discontinued!

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake. I don't think I'll ever enjoy that tobacco. I can't get past the floral taste or whatever the hell that' taste is supposed to be.

 

[newbroom]

Tinned tobacco. I haven't purchased any tins for more than a year. I've been smoking bagged tobaccos.

C&D and D&R. I do have a few tubs of codger blends that I sample from time to time, but these don't qualify as tins in my opinion.

I have maybe 10 tins of various blends on hand, so that when I feel like it, I can look at them wistfully, while I realize that their contents are just tobacco, nothing more.
