You are Guaranteed to get One Hard-to-get Blend. Which One would You Choose?

Oriental mixture 14.

I suppose another would be McClelland 40th Anniversary.

 

[craig61a]

1950’s Ready Rubbed...

I would’ve liked to have gotten to try Yenidje Highlander (among many other blends that went extinct before I discovered them).

 

[pygmig]

SG Brown Sugar Flake

 

[ashdigger]

Well, if I could get a steady supply of 50 year old Half and Half that’d be just fine.

other than that Klondike Gold

 

[rushx9]

Anything Elephant & Castle.
As for in-production blends, ET Ramsgate. Or Hastings. Real hard to pick only one!

 

[jguss]

Tough call is an understatement; I’ll say Smokers Haven #10.

 

[oldgeezersmoker]

Bob’s Chocolate Plug

It has been made.

 

[whitebar]

Sullivan Powell Gentleman’s Mixture.

Like someone already said, I never looked for hard to get and never had them. So, I'm not sure. But, I did enjoy Dunhill Navy Roll from their last release and want to try the very first version of it to compare. Yet, that might ruin it for me as far as my current Peterson/Dunhill Navy Roll stash is concerned, so I'll pass.

 

[anotherbob]

honestly abraxas snuff. Nothing compares.

 

[karam]

Going to have to be Balkan Sobranie since I never had Syrian Latakia.

 

[autumnfog]

McCranie's Red Ribbon.

 

[Fiddlepiper]

Having never smoked any of the older iterations or experienced any blends that I could get and now can’t, it’s hard to say what I would be keen to try.

I think the interest for me would lie in the comparison between say St Bruno my grandfather smoked and the St Bruno I smoke. The comparison is interesting rather than aching for blends I’ve never (and will probably never) try.

Missing something you’ve never (or will never) had the opportunity to have is a pointless exercise.

 

[tobefrank]

Motzek Strang and the original Escudo.

 

[greeneyes]

Anything Elephant & Castle.
As for in-production blends, ET Ramsgate. Or Hastings. Real hard to pick only one!

Prepare to find a fourth runner-up!

Bob’s Chocolate Plug

presumably as they sell a flake it starts as a plug,so yes.
wouldnt mind a few pounds of Ogdens era St Bruno and some Gallaghers Condor from the same era

I've only had one tin of this before it became unavailable, at least in the U.S., but this has always been etched in my skull as stunning in its excellence. No other tobacco has ever done that to me. No other tobacco ever impressed me so much that I saved the empty tin for years.

St. James Woods intrigues me.
