Favorite Blend Released in the Last Few Years?

Bringing back an old thread.

So many! The Mac Baren HH line is stellar (Old Dark Fired, Latakia flake, Bold Kentucky, Vintage Syrian) and the SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve is divine!

That Grape has got Gramps hallucinating!


I merely had to step out the back door and lose my breakfast all over the shrubs.

The Standard Tobacco/Pennsylvania initial series: War Horse, Bengal Slices and the John Cotton No. I, Nos. 1&2 and Smyrna are standouts. The great RussO really scored with his collaboration with Mark Ryan when they created Acadian Gold - a stupefyingly tasty Virginia that puts most VA/Pers to shame. And his single barrel Perique Golden Triangle group: Paulina, Grand Point, South Vacherie and Belmont, as well as the 4 VAPers Russ created from each one.

I’ve heard a great deal about War Horse Bar and the Green. Several have told me I would be glad if I bought some. I’ll see if I get any birthday money this year.

While I do appreciate a good VA/Per the micro subtleties between one blend and its next door neighbor would likely be lost on me. I think there is more unexplored territory in the VA/Bur/Turkish rhelm. But what do I know. It’s really just personal preference for me.

Once again I must confess that while I have accumulated a considerable stash of the "newer" outings, I have only smoked one, DH's "Ye Olde Signe." I wasn't impressed when I first opened the tin. However, now, over two months later; it's tasting better...But it is not a "Dark Virginia" as the label states!!! FWIW :cheers: FTRPLT

I think Captain Black GRAPE is to pipe smokers as Lars Tetans is to cigar smokers! :lol: :twisted:
