Original Edgeworth .......... Oi, don't remind me . The slices were off the chart and the regular ..... was regular , but perfectly so . Heck , I'd take the old Amphora brown back any day too
I could reccomend so many outstanding blends , many of which are impossible to find for some time and others more recently impossible... It's a joke ...
Which brings up a thought ... the three luxury blends fro Peter STOKKEBYE ... greatest deal in the pipe tobacco world
New to me / you tins / blends youre interested in

Prices on the stokkebye luxury offerings seems to have gone up this past year. I know P&C has them as their tobacco of the month for August with 15% off

My first taste of LNF was from a buddy of mine who didn't like it and it was aged a few years. Didn't try the fresh stuff til later and the difference was huge.Kevin Keith wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 8:29 amLuxury navy Flake is even better!Preacher1611 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 8:16 am Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake, yeah, I want to try that.

For me , the LTF is the best of the three but they are all exceptional , in stock mostly .. and when they go out of stock they do come back pretty quick . The reason the LTF is a bit more exceptional is that it is unique . The other two arent . But try to find a Va Flake with a mild flavoring that is similar to the LTF .. I cant think of one . The flavor is that of a Danish Cookie and softly done ... very exceptional
I havent tried many Astleys blends . Ive had the Royal Tudor and it was good .. maybe tthe others are too . Their #88 Matured Dark virginia sounds interesting but when you read the description , its so vague , and with the the foremost mention of black cavendish ... I wonder what is the base of the blend

I have three tins of Cut Virginia Plug...Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 8:00 pm Ruff, the chacom blends are manufactured by C&D
I consider myself lucky that I've been able to get my paws on a lot of tobaccos that are pretty unobtainium but some of the ones I haven't snagged yet are:
Fribourg & Treyer cut Virginia plug & Vintage Flake
Wessex dark flake & red VA flake
Watch city flake 558 & Old Dominion
I'm sure there's more but off the top of my head those are the ones I can think of at the moment.
