That's like me with New Zealand. I know it's next to Australia, has no deadly venomous animals, and has those adorable Kakapo birds.

From my limited experience and as already said Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls and Newminster 400. I'll add Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug too. All excellent blends, in my opinion. Get a few+ years age on PS Luxury Bullseye Flakes and sweetness abounds as well.

The sweetest blends I've tried are:
  • Peterson/Dunhil DLNRs
  • HU Director's Cut - apparently I've only tried the recent version
I'm always looking for something sweet but not with blatant additives, and am very wary of Virginias widely considered sweet (looking at Capstan) as they often give me no discernible taste.

What I'd REALLY like to have is a sweet Lat bomb, I reckon it's pretty hard to pull off the balance.

Samuel Garwith Brown Sugar Flake is great, it has now been renamed B.S. Flake due to EU regulations and was only avaialble at the Danish Pipe Shop. Check out the reviews on Tobacco Reviews.com

They may still have some in stock but a notice last month was they they will stop selling due to very high taxes after the UK exited the EU.

Not sure if it’s considered a sweet blend but I just tried Wilke’s Rum and Maple and have been enjoying it a lot. It’s definitely sweeter to me than my normal English and Black Twist blends...

FWIW, if you like the Rum & Maple, #191 is another Wilke’s aro worth a try as well. It has a honey topping. It doesn’t really come across as honey to me, but it is delicious.

The most popular story goes back to the pioneer days when there were still Native Americans the pioneer were in fear of. When the pioneers would hear a noise outside, they would shout "Who's there?" later shortened to Hoosier. I've never heard any alternative explanation.

I'm from the neighboring state of Michigan, and I've never had a clue what "Hoosier" referred to other than someone from Indiana.

I always preferred the "who's ear story". https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...AxAB&usg=AOvVaw0hs7Y3j8jEEx1MqaJRLABD&ampcf=1
