Default Re: Good pipe blends...

Rev I just like what I like. I tried Missisissippi River today and while it was smooth and soft to smoke it was boring to me. Its what I would smoke if I didnt have anything better and more exciting.

I also had C&D Autumn Evening and really liked it. I also tried a bowl of Lane's 1Q and it was also kind of bland. I guess lots of people like soft smooth cool boring smokes?

I think I will have to go back to Anniversary Kake tonight so I remember what good tobacco is like. Maybe it is time for me to get heavier in English blends?

Then try one of these... The Scottish Mixture is absolutely wonderful. Not quite as strong in vitamin N as Nitecap, but just as full in rich flavor. Probably the smoothest of the English-ish blends I've run across and my personal favorite.

McClelland - Scottish Mixture
Dunhill - Nitecap (full body), MM965

Hey, all you are supposed to like is what YOU like.

I think 1Q is boring and bites like a rabid dog. I find lots of blends boring. But, to find what you like, you need to try a lot of blends.

If you like Anniversary Kake, it sounds to me like you enjoy VaPers (Virginia & Perique) blends. If that is the case, I will suggest a few for you.

Peter Stokkebye: Luxury Bullseye Flake, and Luxury Navy Flake
Escudo
Gawith & Hoggarth: Louisiana Flake
Samuel Gawith: St. James Flake
Cornell & Diehl: Night Train

These are just a few that might come close to having some of the characteristics of the Anni. Kake.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
