I've been going with 1792 for my tonquin notes

I've never smoked chocolate flake before...I know blasphemy for a gawith fan. but I'd venture to say even without smoking it, that Kendal cream is a lot lighter on the sauce. It's 90% Virginia/Burley I would say with some nice topping. I'd send you some if I hadn't smoked my last tin of it already....maybe on my next order I'll make you a lake snot sampler of lighter stuff lol.

Hey now! I think that is disrespectful to grandmother's crotches!

I'm sure grandma's crotch tastes better than No. 79....hahahaha

this concerns me a little re. SG Va's as even the unscented GH tobaccos seem to get tainted by the perfume in the factory
as someone said, this is the only merger that could happen between the two that won't wreck the legacy
as long as BBF and Kendal Dark remain unchanged I'll be happy

I think they are more so tainted by the fact that GH&Co use the same cutting machines and presses for everything almost, whether they be scented or not.

The article I read more or less guarantees that each company will use their own respective equipment, so I doubt anything SG will suddenly have that delicious geranium snot all over it.

On a side note, could you guys imagine what it must smell like in that factory?! Like the biggest garden you have ever been in on steroids that has been doused in Dial soap :p

Yippee! My 2 favorite tobacco blenders all in one place now....life is good. And there is nothing wrong with Lakeland blends. One of my favorites is Ennerdale. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.....:)

Personally, I think this is awesome! Much better than someone as storied as either company being bought out by an Altadis or the likes. (not that I don't smoke plenty of Altadis brands, mind you.)
