The "Recommend a Blend" Thread

[romeowood]

If I like Sterlings' Sweet Briar, but wish it had more flavor through the bottom of the bowl (it seems to fade precipitously after the first half for me), I'd like....?

Old thread I know, but does anyone have anything to add to it?

 

[erichbaumer]

I'll second that. I'm surprised this thread didn't last longer, looks like it could be really helpful for alot of people who end up starting a separate thread for such questions.

Come to think of it, does anyone know of something along the same lines as C&D Star of the East Flake, besides regular SoTE? Pipes&Cigars doesn't seem to stock it anymore (yes, I know I can get it elsewhere, but I'm still curious).

I like Hearth and Home Anniversary Kake...so....

I liked Butera Kingfisher so I should try building a time machine so I could go back and buy some.

I really like PS Luxury Twist Flake. It's a VA. no perique, no burley. I do enjoy VA/Per and VA/Bur, but this one is a really nice break. Just nice smooth and sweet. Any suggestions?

I failed to mention that Twist Flake is a cav. here's the description from tobaccoreviews.com
A pure Virginia blend from the best fields of Zimbabwe and Eastern United States. Rolled Twist Flake, then Cavendish pressed and cut.

For me, Classic Burley Kake once the flavoring has mellowed. That, and any lightly-sweetened, high quality "codger" burleys like Uhle's Perfection Plug--but cheaper. Suggestions?

Murf, since you like LT, I think you would like Capstan Blue Flake and Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug.

If you like Penzance, you might like GLP's Quiet Nights.
(If you're one of those for whom there is no other toke than Penzance, you may not, but I think QN is delightful.)

If I like Dunhill 965, I might like ...

If you like C&D Bayou Night, you might like Dunhill Nightcap.

I like Firedance Flake! What should I try next?
