Aaaaah... quite interesting! I figured that there would be no way that it would taste exactly like Frog Morton. But, it was my hope that it would be very, very close. It is usually easy for me to convince my taste buds to be happy with something that is lesser expensive... as long as the difference is not huge.mattia76":tkx9e148 said:Yes, 5150 is a great English Bulk. Has a sweetness to it that's very similar to Frog Morton Across the Pond, in my opinion. A bit less refined, but I'll take it for half the price!
The brother has spoken!!!! :cheers: :cheers:Muddler":yhcqa4ar said:I haven't tried the FM series but I have smoked 5110 - it's really good. If you're looking for a sweetish lat blend, you may want to try C&D Epiphany "A delightful new light English blend. Epiphany is reminiscent of the original Revelation blend that was said to be the favorite of a certain reknowned thinker named Einstein." A bargain at $30/ lb. Here's a link: http://pipesandcigars.com/codibuto.html
I certainly agree. At 84 yrs Old I've decided to take up the pipe again, and was crushed to learn that 5110 was no longer.. I have put out feelers to find what tobacco and amounts of each to replicate this blend. That is the question gentlemen-----any ideas?I love 5110 and I dare say I've not found an english tinned tobacco yet that smokes as well!
