My favorites are all aromatic bulk blends with the exception of one
1.) Warm Up ... one of Russ Ouellette's Monthly Blends from P&C
2.) Molto Dolce/Sutliff Crème Brulee ... I actually think they are one in the same
3.) Sutliff Vanilla Custard
4.) Sutliff Rum & Maple
5.) Sutliff Chocolate Mousse
Actually my favorite blend is a concoction I mentioned before which takes 3 parts Sutliff Vanilla Custard, 2 parts Chocolate Mousse, 1 part Crème Brulee, and a light sprinkling of Sutliff Irish Crème. The blend I call Hudson's 221B Bakery Blend.
2. Butera Golden Cake
3. GLP Westminster
4. McClelland No. 24 Virginia
5. GLP Quiet Nights
It's a nice sweet viginia. Mellowed by some age. Dark fruit flavors with some nuttiness mid bowl. And best of all burns kind of cool. Not much tongue bite.....at least for me;)
1. Nightcap-Dunhill
2. Prince Albert-Middleton
3.Star of the East-Cornell and Diehl
4.Plantation Evening-Cornell and Diehl
5.Delta Days-Hearth and Home Signature
Nightcap is to me a truly amazing and balanced blend, though I have never been able to pinpoint exactly what I love about it. I smoke it every evening once the sun goes down in a full bent billiard 365 nights a year. It is a tobacco that is calming in flavor and aroma for me. Though Prince Albert is really a number 1 for me as well as I start each day with a cob and the prince on my porch with a big mug of coffee. Those two tobaccos are the only ones that I smoke 7 days a week-if I had to eliminate all others I would be a happy smoker with those two blends and a few pipes in my rotation!
I've narrowed down my top 4 favorites. I have several blends that I could include in the 5th spot depending on season, my mood, etc so I'll just list my top 4.
My top 4 in no particular order as each of these 4 tobaccos could be #1 on my list at any given time:
I'm really enjoying your lists!
I've added some new tobaccos to my 'To Try' list. Thank you everyone!
