RE: One brand only?


OK - the cliche 'desert island" scenario:

If you could smoke only one company's baccy, which would it be? No listing first, second, etc. It's got to be just one. Think of it as if you can have one tobacco brand imported to the desert island.

For me: Samuel Gawith.

I bet I would choose McClellands, mainly because of the 2015 LMAO emoticon

This is a tough question.

I'll choose C&D.

An almost impossible decision, but after much consideration, it would have to be McClellands......or G&H......no, wait.....Esoterica....or Erinmore.....or......

OK, scratch the word "almost" above............. emoticon emoticon emoticon

Just smoked a tobacco I would happily smoke all day on a deserted island, Boswell's Northwood. It's a smooth and creamy tobacco with some sweetness and the right amount of latakia to make it a flavoursome all day smoke without being cloying like some other English blends.

Since I have yet to try any SG tobaccos (been hunting the B&Ms for Squadron Leader for a while) I'll have to go with my current favorite Uhle's.
