That Initial Fall Nip. Which Baccy Are You Holding Out For?

Last year I couldn't get enough Erinmore in autumn.

I think I might go aged FVF, because I haven't been down that road quite yet.

Who knows. The tobacco chooses me, not the other way around.

I smoke Irish Flake, Royal Yacht and Union Square year round, when it gets colder I also smoke London Mixture and Nightcap.

It's a beautifully cool evening tonight and I can almost smell the fall. I cracked my tin of SG chocolate flake (it was part of my fall purchase) which I've been out of since last year and man is this good stuff.

I purchased G&H BCF along with the SG blend and it seems folks like BCF somewhat better. I don't get it though. The two are somewhat similar in that both are smooth, earthy, creamy smokes of VA and burley with hints of latakia and cocoa that compliment each other well...but BCF has a cloying Lakeland essence attached which is blissfully absent with the SG version. Admittedly, as others have noted, the SG baccy is a bit tougher to get lit, but it's worth the effort, and once ya get it going the flavors just get better as the bowl progresses. The room note is fantastic as well.

All I've been smelling lately is wildfire smoke. ale: Just when nights are finally dipping below 60F, too. :sigh:

Do you get a fall nip in Florida? :lol: 

The first real fall weather we'll get here in Nor Cal is early November.

Same down here.
September is usually the hottest, and can trail well into October.

I haven't had a taste of Nightcap in a couple months, and I have been holding out for better weather.
So, Nightcap it is!
