Tobacco to choose from for this month...

[arthoz]

My tobacconist have an offer for an extra tin on sale. I need to choose 1 out of 3. Olaff poulson no. 77, no. 66 and Mike's ready rubbed.
What is the recommended one I should try first?

I tried to look them up, but the first two I could not identify. Maybe a spelling issue?
The third one is from Dan Tobacco, which is a well regarded producer. It's an aromatic, but probably has decent tobacco under the toppings.
At least the one you choose will be worth exactly what you paid for it!

Yup...they are new arrival. Well, time for me to take a gamble.

My best guess:
Poul Ilsted Own Mixture No. 77
Poul Ilsted Own Mixture No. 66

Took the no. 77. But will go on taking the rest in followings months. I will take my piping journey 1-2 tins at a time...or maybe 3 tins if something good is on sale. Oh dear...is this what people call smoking addiction?

My tobacconist from mytembakaushop provided description for no. 77: This blend reminds a bit of the No.66, but thanks to its much higher content of sweet mature Black Cavendish it provides a fuller and more fruity aroma. A vividly coloured "Black & Gold" mixture with medium size and broad cut leaf to guarantee slow and even burning abilities. A full flavour pleasure, deliciously smooth and mellow with an optimum of sweetness. Suitable for all sizes of bowls.
Wish me luck.
