@Woodsman -- Thanks for the heads up, but I'm still stuck on Barbados Plantation. Have not smoked anything else since the beginning of September, except for a few bowls of the legendary Mrs. Hudson's.
As a regular Borkum Riff smoker, I’m quite sure that many on this forum are convinced that I have no discriminating taste at all. Even I won’t smoke Super Value Pipe Tobacco.
@Topaz75 -- OK, so you and I are outliers (I smoke only one blend). On the other hand, you are a member of the OTC/drugstore-approaching-geezer faction, as well as the Scandinavian tobacco karass. Last I looked, there were five varieties of Borkum Riff, and all were still making decent sales. So you are in good ccompany. (Well, maybe not with me), but you are a pipe smoker, and in this pipe life that's what counts!
@motie2 : Since I just celebrated my 70th birthday a few days ago, you are most assuredly correct on the geezer thing. As for STG, I really don’t know my karass from my elbow.
Sutliff Birds of a Feather Anomalous Pipe Tobacco $14.72 This blend contains the unique Katerini perique. Very few pipe smokers have heard about this tobacco, and with good reason. Sutliff is the only pipe tobacco blender who has this tobacco. Katerini tobacco is an oriental tobacco growing on the mainland in Greece. For the first time in history the Katerini is fermented after the original perique recipe, the result is sublime. Katerini perique has a lighter taste than normal perique, and as an extra gain, it develops a deep raisin/fruity taste. The Katerini perique is blended with a part Red Virginia and fair amount of Virginia Cavendish and for the sake of balance, a small part of high-grade Burley is used. A blend with lots of Virginia sweetness and the unique taste of raisins/dark fruit coming from the Katerini Perique.
Country Squire (www.thecountrysquireonline.com) is dropping something tomorrow. Wouldn't say it is a sale but perhaps something to keep an eye on if you are a fan.
@Montecristo Tnx for that post. Ordered 10 predrilled stummels ( I'm sure most of them will be flawed) $18.40 tax and all! I'll see if I can turn any of them from a sows ear to a silk purse. Something to work on through the winter months. Tnx again...
