What Are Your Top Ten Tobaccos?

[Pipe'n Prof]

Thank you Pipe 'n Prof for reminding me to open an 8 oz tin of Haddo's from Jan 2007.

That’s going to be an excellent smoke. Haddo’s ages well. I have two tins from 2003 that I am waiting to open on a special occasion. I’ve found with just a couple of years age, Haddo’s really mellows.

Sip slower.

If you don't like it you can send it to me and I will dispose of it in my personal incinerator

Swede, Great Top Ten. Now you need to try Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs. I’m afraid it will alter your list. Lol.

Thank you. I've had my eye on that one too. Lol. Plus Carolina Red Flake 2022 and GLP JackKnife Plug and several others.

All of my 2012 and 2013 CDF are all wrap around flakes that are totally dark. I have seen the new flakes and they are all perfectly shaped square flakes that have some yellow running through it. They changed the blend but I have no idea when they did it. They also did something similar to Astleys no 44 Dark Flake. That one I have a new tin and it is nothing like my 2012 and 2013. I did smoke the new 44 and thought it was a good smoke that will just get better with age.

CDF wasn’t bad, but it just didn’t do anything for me either. Thanks for the information.

Here’s my ten (excluding unobtanium and limited edition stuff).

1. Haddo’s Delight
2. Bayou Morning
3. Escudo
4. Night Train
5. UHLE’s Hunt Club
6. Bayou Night
7. St James Flake
8. Gas Light
9. Luxury Twist Flake
10. Kajun Kake

Just opened a 20 yr old HD. Smoked in a new Tinsky!!!! Heaven!!!

 

[Charley Scanlan]

Luxury Bullseye Flake, Mac Baren Virginia no 1, Bowlegged Bear, Stokkebye proper English, Black Ambrosia, G&H Black Twist, War Horse Green, Hearth and Home Anniversary Kake, Half and Half, and Best of the Rest Aromatic. That's nearly all the blends I have!

 

[Zeno Marx]

In no order. I far prefer Syrian latakia over Cyprian, which is a large factor as to why you won't find new/in production English blends on the list, and I don't have a hankering for English anymore anyway. The bottom three are the only ones still in production to my tastes.

Balkan Sobranie 759
Escudo (AC era)
Dunhill Nightrain
Dunhill 965
Crown Achievement
Bengal Slices
McClelland #2015
HU Director's Cut
PS Luxury Navy Flake
C&D Night Train

 

[WarneOut]

I love breathing life into older threads.
I'll say these are a little bit in order, but with some wiggle room depending on mood.

1. GH Bob's Chocolate Flake
2. GH Bobs Square Cut
3. GH Coniston Cut Plug
4. GH Bosun Cut Plug
5. GH Brown Flake Unscented
6. GH Dark Flake Unscented
7. GH Dark Birdseye
8. GH Kendal Kentucky
9. GH Ennerdale Flake
10. GH No. 7 Broken Flake

Current honorable mention slots go to GH Rum Flake, Watch City 4-Q, and C&D Canal Boat.

There are still some GH blends I haven't tried, and I haven't had a chance to try anything from Samuel Gawith. Once I do, some of those might take some spots on the top 10 list.
