What's Your Favorite Brand(s)?

[krizzose]

Mac Baren for sure, but then it's very close between C&D and K&K (I don't think I'd want to be without Marlin Flake and HOTW).

 

[tschiraldi]

Fribourg & Treyer and Peter Stokkebye!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I just can't lock down a favorite. There is something in almost each brand that I love, and a few brands that have nothing I like. But, I guess I love more selections from C&D and GH&co than any of the others, or so I think, off the top of my head.

Mac Baren and their various brands cover a large percentage of what I accumulate and enjoy out of virginias. HH Pure Virginia, the Capstans and Vanilla Flake are all some of my most enjoyable blends to smoke.

 

[jcsoldit]

Rattray's, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co, G. L. Pease, Samuel Gawith, and Peter Heinrich.

 

[CoffeeAndBourbon]

C&D and Sutliff if for nothing more than the sheer volume and variety of tobacco. Not to mention, I like their products too.

 

[jerseysam]

C&D and K&K. I like blends from all the big houses...but forced to pick these, its these two.

Micro- I'd go Watch City at this point. Prior years it would have been a tough call between Uhles, Wilkes, or Peretti....but Ernie has really come on. I hope the micros hang on.....add Boswell, KBV, Countey Squire, etc. A lot of fun stuff in that space...

 

[gamzultovah]

So far, Mac Baren and K&K.

For a small blender, Ernie at Watch City has my support.

 

[shanez]

Definitely GH&C and I don't know about the second. Too many good choices.

 

[sablebrush52]

Since I like good Virginia I mostly go with McClelland, Gawith, and Germain's. I also have a fair amount of GL Pease, HU, MacBaren, and Watch City. C&D is the least represented.

 

[briarbuck]

F&T
Rattray's

 

[aro222]

I’m an aro guy myself so I’ll have to go with C&D, Sutliff and Boswell
Although G.L Pease and Gawith aren’t very far behind

 

[luigi]

I could totally live only with Mac Baren's HH line.

 

[elasmo]

For me, Rattray and C&D

 

[kcghost]

I'd have to say G.L. Pease and Cornell and Diehl.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Gremains, Std.Tobacco of PA, GLP, Seattle PC.

Three of the four are American endeavors.

 

[jeff540]

McClelland was my #1 for 20-years.

Now, Sam Gawith and JF Germain

 

[anotherbob]

I'm glad I don't have to, but if I had to choose 2 brands (not blends), they would be Mac Baren and C&D. They scratch my itch for Virginia Flake, DFK and VaOr blends. What's a bit crazy is neither of these would have come close for me 3 years ago.

same here and my account at S.P. proves it.

 

[wyfbane]

MacBaren and McClelland were my blends when I started smoking.

Now it is hard. I love my MacB blends, but I have a deep love for Sutliffs new crumbles and all their match blends and Seattle Pipe Club because Plum Pudding is my Fave. I think C&D is still second, due to the quality and variety of their blends.

 

[gerryp]

GLP and Peterson. But there are other brands that I enjoy.

I'll second that!
