Yeh, me too...
Any or all of these!
I'm not sure if I could cajole my friend in Brazil to buy & send some to me, & I won't be visiting there anytime in the near future.
It comes available here in the States now and then. Synjeco almost always has it along with numerous other SG plugs.
Though Cringle Flake 2020 filled the bill for me. Best red release since McC released the 40th.
That's high praise! I missed out on the Cringle Flake. Maybe we'll see a repeat of quality and recipe this year?
Great answers!
I’m fortunate to have some of these stocked and have enjoyed many of the blends mentioned including versions from long ago when they were in production and I was a new piper.
You guys have great taste!

Burlington Arcade. Discontinued 30 or so years ago. Very good English with both Lat and Perique. What I smoked in my 20's. Also some original Balkan Sobranie.
I am kinda hoping my secret Santa reads this list this year?! ? This was a great idea @sablebrush52 !!
I was fortunate for a forum compadre to share some with me and I found it quite harsh and edgy. ? Thanks again!
Hoarders rule. If I wanted it, I got it.

Greg Pease's Gaslight is a surprisingly rich & complex mixture of red VAs, Oriental tobaccos, and Latakia, pressed into a cake using an old school method.

Its ok - I've got some stashed away. It would definitely be my stranded isle smoke, though.
More McClelland 2025 would be nice, roughly 8oz more to be exact.
Upon McClelland’s closing, that stuff was nearly impossible to find!!

Blue a Mosque by E&C was a shag cut Turkish blend cigarette tobacco. The six other blends were superb. The last was made circa 1989. I got a bunch when they announced the ending to the trade. I last acquired some around 1985 when a Texas friend found some at a small shop in Arkansas. He graciously allowed me to acquire 5 or 6 assorted, but I don’t think he got any of The Stout, which had a high % of Cyprian and Syrian Latakia. Or he didn’t tell me.
Oh, Pete Siegel, who was a partner in Marble Arch, the importer, told me that Blue Mosque was the best seller, go figure.
In August/September of 2020, 250 g boxes of Kendal Plug showed up at at leas 4 shops with a web operation. They didn’t last long anywhere.
A few years back Pete sent me some Deerstalker. That was a beautiful sparkling blend.
I love Motzek Strang, but it has a very individual flavor profile that’s not for everyone. It does need a bit of prep and it’s so wet that it makes Gawith seem mummified. If Strang isn’t well dried, to the extent it has any flavor, it tastes terrible. With the proper prep it’s an amazing smoke.
Since I never tried this stuff, and several members mentioned it I just put in an order for 300gr. In stock now with TAK
