Who Else Loves Old Gowrie?

[pantsBoots]

This blend reminds me of Havana cigars, not so much in the specific flavors offered, but in that it gradually and noticeably improves the more age it has.

I tend to favor BC>OG>HOTW>MF, but all are definitely fine tobaccos and good smoke for year round consumption!

I'm smoking a bowl of old gowrie that I've had jarred for a little over a year, and oh my lord. This is the finest Va blend I've ever smoked. Its hard to believe that there could be anything better out there, however I have never had a McClellands Va before, I don't see any point in worrying about it too much with OG in my pipe

I was fortunate to pick up 4 100 great things from 2005 and 4 from 2015. Finished an 11 year old tin last week, it was as good a tin as I've ever smoked of anything.

I just ordered a pound and a half of OG because I enjoy it so much. Marlin Flake as well.

I love OG, HOW and MF and I hope that’s OK with the OG FMs here on PM.

@cosmicfolklore they're using a lot of abbreviations again!

Haven't ever had the pleasure. Hopefully it'll become available to me at some point.

If you appreciate Virginia blends, I would highly recommend getting some if given the chance

I remember getting into arguments on other forums about it.

Which is what took so long for me too get on a pipe forum. Too many snobs who are too aggressive about the facts they seem to get wrong anyways. Then looking up some info about pipes mainly meerschaum care and noticed not too many snobs here.

That’s why I’ve stuck around, too. Lack of pretentiousness is a big part of the character of this forum and it’s nice!

Does old gowrie contain the same red Va's as HOTW? Or is it composed of a different Va mixture? I'm pretty sure HOTW uses straight reds for that blend.

OG is very nice. I had a little issue with the citrus tone the first smokes, but the last time was top notch. Feels like it could grow to become a favourite some day.
