What are Some Blends You Never Had the Chance to Try?

I'm a huge fan of Morelys Best, which is supposedly inspired by Blue Bloar. Sadly, I've never had the opportunity smoke Blue Boar. Are there any blends you've always wanted to try but will never get the chance to smoke for whatever reason?

There's 1000's I've never tried. I'm not a "taster" and don't chase blends. I enjoy certain blends I've discovered over the years and, God knows, I'd just be wasting time ruing the fact that there are blends I've never tried or, for that matter, never heard of.

Well, there is "Warhorse" just because of the great kerfuffle over the remake efforts. Now, that was entertaining!

McClelland's Old Dog.

I only mention that one because it came in a parcel I had to send back due to insane duties. Since I had purchased it and McC's went extinct short after before I had a chance to reorder it, I count it as the 'only' blend I never got the chance to try. Of course there are scores upon scores of blends out there I've not tried and won't ever taste: I don't lose sleep over those.

I've never tried Ennerdale or 1792 Flake.. among others. Those have always been on my list, but we've never crossed paths. I know, I know, I could order from overseas.. but the urge isn't that great.

Perhaps Frog Morton Across the Pond....although I've only ever had the crumbs of Penzance from a Tinderbox before they closed...

I once fantasized about smoking Revor Plug but lost interest before getting around to ordering any.

If that doesn't count then maybe Brown Sugar Flake, as I would like to have sampled it.

I currently smoke the crap out of MyMixture 965 so it would be fun to go back in time and try the original.

Old Dark Fired is my other daily smoke and I wish I bought a few of the plugs when they were available. There's no shortage of ODF flake and ready rubbed in my life but fiddling with the plug would probably provide a least a few minutes of mild entertainment.

And WTF does a guy have to do to score some Dark Birds Eye around here?

There's lots I haven't tried, or "didn't get to try", but the only one I wanted to try but haven't is Motzek Strange.

I've actually turned down two opportunities to buy some but turned them down due to pricing. It just can't be that good.

Probably GLP's Bohemian Scandal is the only one I really wish I had gotten to try.

Mephisto is mine. It and bohemian scandal sometimes pops up on pipestud but I’m just to cheap to fork over the asking price for unicorns.

 

[canucklehead]

Chatham Manor and Carter Hall?

 

[Chasing Embers]

Mephisto is mine.

That's my all time favorite tobacco.

I expect they'll be plentiful after the new US distributor takes over.

I grew up as a young pipester smoking bulk, buy by the ounce out of a jar, tobacco. There wasn't a lot of tins available and I had to search them out. Among the best I've had are Germain, and Samuel Gawith, and I would like to try more of them, but they are really expensive in Canada and I'm just so used to homegrown now that I can't justify it.

That's one you don't want to try. A taste of strange may seem exciting, but you don't know where it's been, nor how many others got there before you.
On the other hand, Motzek Strang is an amazing smoke.

Bohemian Scandal is pretty good, but I like Renaissance better.

I’m a taster, I’ve tried all kinds of blends, but I’m sure there are still thousands of blends that I have not tried, nor will I ever try. Ya just can’t get to them all.

That being said, I can’t really think of one that I’m disappointed about missing. Maybe the original 3 Nuns? But yeah, that wasn’t really a thing in my time so it’s not like I long to try it.

One I have tried and really love that I wish was sold here is GH&Co’s Westmorland Slices. That is some gooooooood stuff!

 

[NomadOrb]

I chose to take my hiatus from pipes during McClelland's big hype. And I came back in earnest after they were gone so I've never tried any of their blends. I kick myself for not buying 6 years ago, but there's so much good tobacco available now.

 

[trubka2]

I'd love to try a lot of the old blends, especially Edgeworth Sliced and original Three Nuns. I totally missed the boat on McClelland, but except for some of the Oriental leaf that they found, I'm not that curious about those tobaccos. Certainly not enough to pay the going rate.

Yayladag. It was a latakia blend that was once available in Turkey.

 

[tomatamot]

A least 95% of the blends ( cq. brands ) mentioned here on the forum.
