I'm probably going to grab some tins of this soonish as well. Almost the time of year that I stop smoking heavy Latakia blends. Be switching to burleys soon but the Spark Plug will have a little age on them by fall to try them out.

CB Copper is the best of the CB series, in my opinion. Let us know how the F&S is. I've tried several of the Sutliff Match Blends and have liked them, Flying Dutchman Match is a favorite.
I just got the Match Field & Stream. This blend is very good. I only got 1 oz, but I may just order a pound of it in the future. I'll finish the 1 oz and then decide. Needs to be smoked slow because it will give a mouth tingle, but not really a tongue bite. Maybe that's one reason why President Ford smoked this in the oval office. I know this may sound weird, but I don't get a room note from this blend. That ought to please the wife. I can taste the licorice and there is a sweetness to this blend that I enjoy. I get no floral taste at all. Nicotine is on the mild side. It's definitely an all day smoke, just remember to smoke it slow and will not bite or heat up the bowl.

Thanks! That could be a good one for me to add to an order.

I received some Captain Black Regular, Captain Black Copper, and some Smokers Pride Black Cavendish in the mail today. I also went to the nearest pipe shop which is 130 miles away and got some 1-Q, several nice premium cigars, and some Silver Dollar Snuff.

Got hit hard with TAD again. I'm running out of room for more and should start looking for a bigger place to live.

3 tins SG Lakeland Dark
2 tins GL Pease Spark Plug
2 tins Peterson Irish Flake
2 tins Wessex Burley Slice
2 tins Peterson 3P's

Been burning through this tin of GH Balkan Mixture pretty fast and only have 2 more in the stash. It's pretty good. Hopefully I can find some bulk soon and stock up

Will probably burn like paper, but unless it is super moldy, I don't see why not. If I found one of my granddad's cans of PA I would definitely smoke it. ✔

No mold. No aroma. Nothin. Feels like pencil shavings. :lol:
