I absolutely fell in love with this blend after grabbing a tin off of eBay a couple of years ago. Deep and dark shag cut with an old fashioned, natural casing of some sort combined to make the Virginia and Burley really shine. Lots of strength in this one and the rich, deep flavor of both was mesmerizing. The tobacco, I guess due to the cut, burns really fast, but without heat or bite. I sure wish this tobacco was still on the cyber-shelves!

Another wonderful vintage blend that I can find somewhat locally. I find it a good alternative to the now extinct Esperanto (aside from the rare privately owned tins). I have not had much research into this blend, but I know it's special from the amount of age it has, and it smokes incredibly well, if a little fast. Shag cut is not my favorite, but this alone is the only one I will go out of my way for. If given the opportunity, I will enjoy this till I smoke it to oblivion. I have some reservations about claiming another victim, but I also lose no sleep at night.
