What's Your White Whale?

[sandollars]

I have been trying for a while to get my hands on some Stonehaven to try and a kind Forum member has killed my White Whale for me by sending me a generous sample. Thanks so much! ( you know who you are!)

So, I get to try my White Whale tomorrow morning with a nice cup of coffee. Pretty Excited!

Stonehaven sounds awesome to me, but I have many good options in that realm and dozens of tins I've yet to open and try.

No white whales here. It's all just smoking to me. No hobby or ritial, just tools for enjoying tobacco.

Stonehaven is a fickle bitch. Moisture has to be just right or it gets all wonky.

Had whale meat once when I was a kid. It was sort of like beef. Did taste good, and I used to hate meat. I don't think any blends will taste like that.

What's Your White Whale?

I don't know,, either Ashley Graham or Hunter McGrady...oh, you mean with tobacco...Penzance. There is never enough Penzance.

I would say Roseanne Barr.

White and whalish she be, but not mine!

I wouldn't say I have a white whale blend since I don't like to chase and hyperbole, but I've been curious about some blends,

McClelland orientals
McClelland Frog Morton
McCranie's Red Ribbon
RO Series Acadian Gold

Marcovitch.

I've come across this one. I don't know how much aging contributed to the taste, but it's really an awesome blend. I still have one unopened tin left, but cannot yet think of a suitable occasion...

 

[LOREN]

I've never had any of the big famous ones, so I don't know what I would miss or especially look for. I guess I could look for famous blends that had components I enjoy.

After chasing unobtainium for some length of time, I think I would adjust to reality and stop wanting what I couldn't get.

 

[sallow]

If I could go back I would cellar kingfisher, it was a really good tobacco. Not really a white whale because I have smoked it many times before.

I would like to try some of the esoterica anise flavored blends I have not tried, I think Blackpool or ramsgate or peace haven, they are just never available.

No white whale for me. Surprisingly I have cellared (unfortunately not that deep) and have tried almost all of the blends mentioned in this thread.

Sometimes chasing the unobtainable is more about the hunt than it is about the kill. It’s sometimes a letdown to finally try something that is so overhyped only to find it boring and not to my liking.

Such is life, I suppose.

Hm. I am constantly chasing Murray's Erinmores., which are unobtainable at least for a reasonable price, and I am well aware that it's people like me who are responsible for that.

I'm not sure if it's the hunt itself that gives me the thrill, rather it relieves me not to worry about running out of the good stuff.

You Can still get Acadian Gold from P&C

 

[hawky454]

For me it would be anything by Gallaher but these two specifically.

 

[sablebrush52]

I have a serious white whale. I want Jesse's Barling unsmoked magnum. I will tie Jesse up and then light that bitch and smoke it bowl after bowl for 6-8 hours. I want to see the horror on jesse's face.

Yeah I am a sick fuck.

Beat you to it!

 

[warren]

And, do we even wish to know who tied you up? I take it you had your safe word memorized.

Gl pease mephisto. It just sounds so damn tasty.
