Whittling Down

I am still in the, leaf is always greener on the other side of the fence mode, working my way through everything to find the golden egg that lays in wait somewhere at the end of the rainbow, the perfect blend that I must hoard. For me it is a long road of discovery, one which my wife will never truly understand. 8O

Deniz, therein lies the problem..

Been saying this for years, but I smoke up the stuff that I like and keep cellaring the next new thing. 47 of 132 different tobaccos on hand still untried. It's a sickness.

Smoking up the stuff you like is good. You just need to start buying twice as much.
For me, at some point, it became clear that there really are only a dozen archetypes of blends, and that in each one, there was probably a good - better - best breakdown.

Yeah I figured that out early in my smoking days.
