[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 469900, member: 2318"] Great Q. I'd say PA is my fave of PA, CH, SWR, and Granger (without putting the others in any particular order). PA's slightly Cocoa, nutty Burley taste, EZ maintenance -- and reasonable price -- are a hit with me, which isn't to say the others are unsatisfactory. I spent a week on the Maine Coast last month accompanied by PA and three cobs and was content as could be. But FYI briars like PA, too, I've found. If you visit the TR site, you will witness a wide disparity in individual ratings of these well-established codger blends. One smoker will say "my fave," the next might say "lawn clippings." My belief is that any "I like" or "I don't like" statement is true, because the person is reporting his / her own preferences. Even "better than" statements often reduce to "I like" or "I don't like." So with that caveat, PA has my vote, but the best, indisputable test will be your own taste. P.S. -- The TR reviews of codger blends often warn of a tendency to bite. For whatever reason, I've never been bitten by any of them. Not even nipped. Just lucky, I guess. [/QUOTE]
