Hah ha! Beat you to it! :nana:
Really though, surprised we're the only two so far.

On a side note, have you noticed the Black Frigate supporters are Native American? Hmmmmm.

What makes Black Frigate different? What makes it stand out among the sea of Latakia blends? Is it the topping?
Not really lat forward, and just a nice balanced Navy blend. Also, tastes very much like Sextant. The slight rum sweetness just brings it all together, and is a top notch smoke. If that is the only blend left on the planet, I would not be at all unhappy. :wink:

Billy Budd is a great cigar-leaf blend. Their classic "Autumn Evening" is another must-try aromatic, if that's your thing.
I was actually quite surprised at Billy Budd. I like it more than I expected because the latakia is a much more minor player than I thought it would be. It melds perfectly with the cigar leaf, and doesn't at all come off like an "English blend," which is what I feared would happen. Don't get me wrong, I like English blends, but I really wanted a cigar-leaf blend that was something different.
