Carter Hall. Burns good, tastes ok, satisfying, impervious to packing mistakes and moisture level.
Carter Hall is a good all day smoke.

A curious story how I got to try CH. I've not ever seen it for sale in Oz before.

When I was ordering baccy from O/S before the ban, I tried to make at least one order every fortnight.
Around 1 in 4 orders got intercepted by Customs where they'd send an invoice for duty [At the time the duty was $550 a pound]

One fortnight when I had lots of bills to pay, I only had enough money left to buy 5 x 1.5oz packs of Carter Hall [I was just a few dollars short for the tub]
Tracking showed that Customs had nabbed it.
Expecting an invoice that would end up in the round filing repository, imagine my surprise when the package turned up with my 5 packets of Carter Hall, nicely re-taped with 'Opened by Customs' stickers, lol.

It's one of those things that I will never know why. Considering that tobacco only comes in tins or pouches here, maybe they were confused by the box packaging? #scratches head#

I like Captain Black Grape because its so fresh and fun. And on days when it's sunny and I want to walk around spreading joy and MMMBopping with MMMBop on a loop on my speaker vest handing out Jolly Ranchers, CB Grape is the perfect complimentary blend!

Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du, yeah-e-yeah
Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du, yeah-e-yeah
Said oh yeah
In an mmmbop they're gone
Yeah yeah

BTW, if you decide to MMMBop, don't do it anywhere near a biker bar. You'll get your ass all kinds of kicked no matter how joyful you are or how well you dance. Apparently they are just very angry people and hugging them doesn't help. Well, it helps the first guy you hug but then the rest of them just beat the crap out of you and him.
