What Blend Have You Discovered This Year?

[scottygod]

Gatsby Luxury Flake, Peterson Connoisseur's Choice and H&H Frenchy's Sunzabitches. The latter has me excited about other VaBurPers. Any recommendations welcome!

Good post, incidentally, as is the one on discovering pipes. Well thought and with commendable simplicity.

Virginia flakes are always a chore (for me) to smoke, so I'm inclining more toward pouch-friendly, Burley forward cuts these days. My most recent find is Lane Ltd. Ready Rubbed. Nutty, mapley goodness, no bite, and a classic codger room-note. It's the tobacco analogue of comfort food. If quality codgers were the only tobaccos around, I think I'd be OK.

Boswell Cupcake. It all started when I bought a slightly used Boswell off a guy...and had to know what he'd been smoking in it. It was that...and will continue to be one of my favorites paired with Boswells.

I've had two that were pleasant surprises and added to the cellaring list. Samuel Gawith's Brown Sugar Flake (BS Flake) and G.L. Pease's Temple Bar.
And while I enjoyed McClelland's 40th Anniversary blend, it's not one that I'm going to be stocking up on. I'm sitting on plenty of Christmas Cheer and McCranie's Red Flake/Ribbon. When the day comes that I've run out of what I have, then I could see the 40th as being a good replacement.
