Red Cake 5100 substitute?

I didn't use it as a blender, I just liked it as it was. Peterson Irish Oak is the closest I've found. Advice from a better palate than mine would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know about a better palate but I recently bought some C&D Opening Night while looking for a really good straight VA...I really like this stuff.

Lot of folks are jumping on the Sutliff 515 rc-1 train as a replacement

Except for one tin of regular Frog Morton (I gave in to hype several years ago) I have never smoked any McClelland tobaccos. Weird, huh? The one thing I remember everyone always saying on the forum was that they all smelled like ketchup and vinegar. You can't miss what you never had!

F&T Blackjack, better than 5100 ever was IMO

Fribourg & Treyer (my original reply was going to be find'em & try'em lol)

I looked them up and it's out of stock everywhere, so I ordered a pound of the Sutliff. Way I see it, I'm either gonna like it or get used to it. LOL>
