Which Famous Blends Have You Never Tried?

Here are just a few off the top:
Haven't tried any Lakeland blends
Haddo's Delight (cellared a few tins, but never smoked)
Deluxe Navy Rolls (I have some jarred I got from someone selling his collection)
Any Capstan
McClelland anything (I have a sample gifted me that I've yet to smoke)
Condor
Hu
Vauen
Wessex (Have some Brigade Campaign Flake in my cellar, never smoked)
3 Year Matured Virginia (again, in the cellar)
Sun Bear (cellared)
Warped (Have some Red Hunt cellared)
Dunhill/Peterson Flake (in Cellar)

So...I guess I have a lot of it, just haven't smoked it yet. They aren't cellared deep, just 1 or 2 tins of things I haven't smoked. The exception to that being Sun Bear (8 tins), Warped Red Hunt (6 tins) and Wessex (Probably 6 or 7 tins). My thoughts on cellaring those having not tried them is their trade value if I don't like them and a relatively low probability that I won't enjoy them. Add to that the flavor profile some aging is likely to bring out in each of those blends.

I'm having flash backs to episodes of horders on TLC...

What years did Peterson make Escudo?

I'm not exactly sure, but I believe it was around 1997 to 2004

Thank you sir! Looking at the cellar list, I appear to have a few tins of that era.

Speaking of famous blends I had not tried (until yesterday), I smoked some Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. Excellent stuff! What an underrated codger burley sleeper. Miles above the goopy competition. Plenty of burley taste (and a minor floral type note that peeks out at times), plus a chocolate / anise / creamy / coffee liqueur thing going on with the toppings. Has a very appealing and unique pouch scent as well. I don't know why anyone would get a pouch of Captain Black if there's some SWRA on the shelf next to it.

Lucky you! I have a few left and I wish I had a few more.

Apparently the same for “tmoney” as well. Third review on the page.
