Planetary thanks for crunching the numbers. I was actually going to do that in a day or so, but I guess I shouldn't have waited. LOL Thanks for saving me the work. ::

It is interesting that the top ten mentioned tobaccos aren't expensive or hard to get, quite the opposite.

 

[wyfbane]

While interesting, the availability isn't too surprising since these were our favorites tried this year. Not a lot of guys out there scoring 1978 tins of Balkan Sobranie.

Too many great blends available at reasonable prices to be held hostage to the over priced hard to get blends!

I haven't tried enough 2014 blends to make a top-ten list. But among those blends released in 2014, I've found Russ's MM Country Gentleman to be an excellent, well-priced VaPer/Kentucky, and I've found GL Pease's Sixpence to be of the quality we have come to expect from this blender.
