Id load a bowl of it up and give it a try. I did like the grape.

What Id like t do is for us to post any blend of what we havent tried but think may be good or whatever . And if anyone has had it , they can respond with a good , meh or its shit response ... or whatever

Could I go to TR and read through all that bullshit .... yes I could but I know you guys and a majority of TR is bs to me and I have enough of a life to not want to waste it there

I haven't had much from the Sillems brand . One of theirs I'm curious about is the Musketeer blend

" Black Cavendish and cube cut Burley. A smooth blend with neutral flavor. " ....

Im assuming the black cavendish isnt flavored much at all and the cube burley is a medium body burley flavor . Something like that , to me , sounds interesting if done well Anyone have that and what do ya think ?




Savinelli Jupiter .... " Savinelli's Jupiter features a blend of white and dark Burleys, Red and Bright Virginias, and a touch of spicy, Dark-Fired Kentucky. This remarkable mixture is further enhanced by a delicate topping of dark rum and molasses for a sweet, nutty, and complex flavor profile. "

Damn , that could be nice

Anyone have this ?
I got to TR specifically to see if @Fr_Tom has reviewed a specific tobacco and I always skip right over Mr. Inks reviews. Not that they’re terrible or I don’t like the guy or anything like that. I just think if you’ve read one of his reviews you’ve read them all.

Thanks! TR may have jumped the shark really with the new "everything to everyone" format. I do not really find it as easy to use as it was before.
