Just my opinion but I think Pembroke is even better with a touch of perique.

I've yet to find anything the addition of Perique does not improve.

Valid point! Perique is a pretty wonderful addition to everything

I've actually found a site that stocks early morning tins !
They also do other blends in 50gm tins /pouches.
So might treat myself ! :roll:

On closer inspection of this site, you have to spend min. of about $220.00, per item. I think I'll stick to Gold block, and local UK brands for now !

gqtobaccos.com has it, but I think it's on the expensive side.

Just had a quick look, Mike. Only looked at first page. Seems like normal prices for UK. Will give it a more detailed look & get back to you.

Ok ..... Checked the web site mentioned.
I smoke Gold block. It's $13.00 for me at the local shop, 2 minutes away.
They are asking the same price, plus $3.50 for shipping !
The only good thing is a couple of blends are at $8.50 ish, plus shipping, so for a blend I can't get
dosen't seem to bad, just to try.
