As a former poor college student(graduated two years ago) I have to agree with Don. This is, hiowever a point of discussion for many people. There are many, alot of which I highly value theri opinion, who smoke OTC stuff regularly. These blends are good, but not my cup of tea. I would prefer to smoke less often and smoke better than the alternative. The trick is finding a happy medium. I would encourage you to check out some of the bulk offerings from many of the blenders. Usually a decent discount over tins.

I have been reading in a couple threads about some blends that have hit the chopping block. Escudo, 965... What other blends are gone (say last 6mo) and what happened????

Same here (been away from pipes) and discovered my beloved Escudo was no more! I did just pick up two new tins of 965 though, so it's still around.

Not sure but I think Balkan Sasieni has taken the place of Balkan Sobranie. I think it's supposed to be the same recipe. The Sasieni is quite good but I can't recall what the Sobranie white tasted like - been too long.
