I have some well aged FM & FMC if you would like a few bowls full? Haven’t yet tried this Watch City blend though.
Wow! You would really do that? That is very generous of you! I will take you up on that. I'll have to order some Terrapin Station so that I can compare them. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!
Sure. Just PM me your address and I’ll get it out in the mail to you.
now i need to try this blend solely for the grateful dead reference in the name
Isn't this the replacement for Deep Elem? I think Deep Elem was a WCC blend with McClelland blending tobacco in it that was replaced with Terrapin Station when the McClelland supply ran out. Ernie at WCC has several blends that would be more than suitable alternatives to FMC. The WCC blends are fabulous, try an ounce or 2 of several. Peretti has some excellent blends as well if you're looking for a FMC replacement.
This is the replacement for Deep Elem. I was just looking through their blends and found this one. I have always wanted to try FMC but I have not been willing to pay the astronomical prices on eBay for it whenever it is on there. This just seemed like a reasonable option. I was just curious if anyone had tried it and if it really was a close match. I'll take your advice and try several of there other blends as well. Watch City seems to be a very well liked company on this forum. Thanks for your input.
I have no idea how it compares to FM, which I've never tried (no interest), but it's a very nice blend in its own right. It's somehow dry and sweet at the same time, and I like the Lat he uses. Plus, I'll smoke anything with a Dead reference in the name. I second Hoosier's recommendation: try a bunch of the WCC blends, there's bound to be something you really like there. I don't like all the ones I've tried, but pretty damn close.
I ordered a bunch of 2-4oz of WCC blends (Terrapin Station and 6 others). Time for some New Fall blends to light up!!!
Thank you so much for calling my attention to grateful dead inspired tobacco. Just ordered 4 oz of terrapin to try out, if i like it I'm grabbing a pound!
