English Blend Lovers

My introduction to English mixtures was by way of a locally crafted tobacco, the tobacconist didn’t have a name for this blend other than full English. It was the only English mixture I smoked for more than twenty years, would still be smoking it today, but the tobacconist passed on and the shop closed.

After trying a dozen or so tinned English blends (nothing came close to that old Full English), I settled in with GLP Westminster and have been smoking that for a couple - three years now. Smoked Maltese Falcon on and off for a while, it’s a good blend but doesn’t do it for me. And yes, I only smoke one blend. With tobacco (and coffee), once I’ve found something I like, I stick with it. No point wasting money trying everything under sun, only to end up tossing it on the compost pile if you don’t like it.

And you always have that little thought in the back of your head wondering "just where did the recipe for that English mixture go to anyways?"
