Now I am waiting for Jiminks to list his top 100 new blends of 2014. Perhaps we need a separate thread for that.

Yet another Strang recommendation. Jim and Peck already had me convinced, but now I'm getting antsy. Do any B&Ms carry Motzek Strang or does it have to be purchased online. I ask because there is no mail order shipping allowed where I live.
Dottie, see this thread half way down:

I've tried several different tobaccos, but as a latakia lover, here are my top 2.
1. Lane Crown Achievement
2. Hearth and Home's, "Black House."
Of all the others I've tried, they've not made that big of an impression. I've tried a lot of different aros, but evidently, they just aren't my thing. The only aro I've tried, that I've really liked, is 1888's "Midday," but lately, even that isn't doing much for me. I've enjoyed a couple of Mac Baren's offerings, but they definitely aren't my first choice. Lane's 1-Q is alright...

I do not vary much in my tobacco, so a list of every tobacco I smoked this year is short
1: aged McClelland 2015
2: aged McClelland 2010
3: aged PS Luxury Navy Flake
4: aged Escudo
5: and just for old time's sake I had one bowl of Dan's Blue Note.
