Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

[gnarlybriar]

With so many blends not being produced, which ones do you miss the most. For me it is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed and Hines Mixture. I still have a few ounces of Hines Mixture and probably 12 oz. of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match. Unfortunately, once they are smoked there is no more stocking up.

No, there was Hines Mixture, not Heine's Blend. It was a Chocolate/Coconut blend that was a good old codger smoke. There are reviews of it on Tobaccoreviews.

The blends from Chief Catoonah and Steven Books.

I used to work at Chief Catoonah before Dick Silverman purchased it. Place was owned by Jim Cannitelli. I packed pipe tobacco in plastic containers on Saturdays when I was 14 or 15 for $25 a day. Blend 16 smelled the best. Years later I enjoy Bailey's. I stocked that in my cellar and still have some. Highland Blackwatch (I think) was a good Cavendish. Tobacco was different then.

I miss (or will) frog on log. And, frankly, many blends made 10 years ago that are not the same now. Escudo used to be better. Veermaster used to be better. Even 965 used to be better. Ennerdale had more flowers, and 1792 had more tonquin. So it goes...

Maple Shadows and HH Burley Flake.

Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake. Far from the most mythical blend in this thread, but it's flavorful and pleasing to those around me. Sadly, the 12 of us who enjoyed it weren't enough to keep it in production...

It was one of the quickest to sell out first sadly.

I suppose that for young farts the question might be which discontinued cellphone do you miss.

I don't feel like I've lost anything that I couldn't find a replacement for. I thought it would be bad without London Mixture, but GLP Westminster has it covered. I wasn't a big McC or Sutliff fan so I'm good with the tins still in the cellar. Truth be told, I'd be good moving forward with just Pease, Peretti, and Gawith blends.

Macbaren HH Burley Flake.
For my tastes, I don't think anything will ever come close. I have 10 tins left, mostly 100 grams per tin.

Balkan Sobranie No. 759 Mixture

Virginias from McClelland. There was nothing else like them when they were in production. And there probably won't be anything like them ever again.

Matured VA No. 22 was and their Blakeney's Tawny Flake were two of my favorites. And Christmas Cheer.

Tudor Castle, a VA, Perique, Oriental blend, was also out of this world.

I will agree 100%! Va 27 was my morning smoke and VA 24 was my evening. In between enjoyed Blackwoods flake or one of the Royal Cajuns. During colder months there was Samovar, Grand Orientals and Black Shag. Such a loss when they closed.
