Alright gentlemen (and the rest of you fellas too) it's pretty obvious that I like stronger blends for the most part but I do like to keep some mellow stuff on hand as well. And lord knows that I love me some burley. Is granger different enough from something like SWR to justify throwing $20 at a can of it? Or kick it to the curb and keep smoking LC VaBur and double down and the like?

One of my old favorites
It is good
But
Not 20 dollars for a half sized can good

Too mild, too much PG for me. I have the majority of a larger can left. I'll be portioning it out in the next box pass!

WVsmokeshop sells it by the ounce in bulk. Thats where I tried it. It reminded me of SWR without the Anise topping. Its was more darker flavored, if that makes sense. I love SWR and its topping so i’d always choose SWR first

Unlike you could get granger on a half price sale

for 20 dollar range I’d go

8 ounces of LC Va/bur
4 ounces of Izmir Turkish

That would make a better blend with a bit more punch

I have both of those, just haven't mixed them (been lazy / unimaginative)

I haven't tried the STG version yet. I have a large tub that I was going to let get 10 yrs on it before I opened it
I hope our names are touching on the watch list
