What's Your Favorite Frog?

[petes03]

I know, I know, the whole McClelland Craftsbury Collection has been well covered in the forums, but I just got onboard with Mr. Morton and his fine tobacco, and I'd like y'all's opinions. Now I've had "On The Town", "Cellar", and "Across The Pond" so far, and all of them are wonderful! I'd like to hear opinions on all the Craftsbury's, including Grey Havens! Your likes and dislikes, and your comparisons between all of the frogs. So far, I don't know if I can pick a favorite! I might be a little partial to OTT, but man, that ATP and Cellar are mighty good too!

I've only tried Original. Love it though. Given my likes and dislikes in other tobacco I'm expecting to love On the Bayou as well. Everyone raves about Cellar, though I haven't gotten around to it.
In terms of Grey Havens, I think it's a quality tobacco. I'm a lover of Virginia's so this appealed to me. It's incredibly mild but smokes easily. If you're looking for a burst of flavors you're not going to find it with this tobacco. That said, it's quality leaf as should be expected from McClelland and for me it's a great smoke when I know my mind will be somewhere else and not focusing on technique. As has been said for many of the Frogs being "crossovers" from aromatics to English blends, I believe Grey Havens could be qualified as a "crossover" from aros to Virginias. Just my opinion on the matter.

On the Bayou is my favorite, but I have not yet had all of them, I still want to try On the Town; dang it Roth I keep having to buy tobacco every time you describe it.

Right now my fav is on the town. I have tried the same 3 as Roth. Across the pond is in the cellar. Still need to pick up the bayou. But I like all 3 I've tried.

The legs, cooked with garlic.

Deep fried or BBQ with some cajun flavors.
For the tobacco I've liked everyone I've tried but the Cellar stands out a little above the rest.

 

[dread]

Kermit.
And Cellar.

I've had the original, On the Town and Across the Pond. Liked them, but they're just too mild for my tastes. ::

All of the Frog Morton tobaccos are well-executed and very popular, but I like the little guy from the Warner Brothers cartoon who sang "Hello, My Baby!"

Michigan J Frog is the name you are searching for Russ. My preferrence is Out on the Town as well.

I've only had OTT and Cellar, and I really enjoy both. Of those two my favorite is cellar though.

cellar

Well, I'm smoking my first bowl of Deep Hollow right now, and I must say, I like it! Straight from the tin, no dry time, and it's behaving nicely! I'm not sure how to classify this one, aro or Virginia? The description says mainly Virginia's and a little black cavendish. If its classified as a Va., its the first one I've really enjoyed!

Froggy the Gremlin, a character on the Smilin' Ed's Gang radio show back in the 40's ... Froggy was a troublemaker on the show, known for being disrespectful of adult authority figures and enjoyed playing practical jokes and disrupting other guests.
Smilin' Ed: "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!"

Froggy (appearing in a puff of smoke): "Hiya Kids! Hiya! Hiya! Hiya!"

I haven't tried all the Frogs yet but definitely Cellar so far is my favorite.
Also I'm with Foggy on this one. Frog legs cooked in garlic & butter.
