What is your desert island smoke?

[Phlegmatic]

Of the few ive tried in my short career as a piper, I must say Davidoff English mixture! Its a confusing tobacco, but so interesting to smoke!

[yellowgoat]

so far Reiner Long Golden Flake.

This week...Anniversary Kake for sure!

I guess my #1 desert island smoke is Old Gowrie. Up until a few years back, OG had an oat note () in the background. That is more of a citrus note now. (I do miss the older stuff.) Mind you, if i had to add room note to the mix it would not be #1. It can get a little musty, but we are talking about a whole island...

Strong enough to hit the spot every time. Mild enough to smoke all day. Subtle enough to enjoy a slow thoughtful smoke.........when all you have is time.

SL or Common Wealth.

Man, these threads make me tremble. I can't even imagine just having one blend forever. My need to hoard things is a big part of my piping I think.

Probably would have to say McCranies '83 Red Ribbon.

[SIZE=2]Tough Call. My favorite at this moment is pipesandcigars.com 'Old Red', a very simple but tasty Virginia with no bite whatsoever.[/SIZE]

Dan DaVinci, hands down

Yes, it is. Is it an English or an aromatic? It just can't decide! I just bought another tin of that recently. I like it but I can't figure it out, either!

I was going to say my desert island smoke would be Cope's Escudo but I just got back into pipes and I see it's discontinued. I guess I'd have to go with Ashton Old London pebble cut.

Unless You are buying the German Ashton blend (McClelland quit manufacturing it a few years back) You are out of luck as well with AOLPC. (or congrats if you are still finding it.)

Copes Escudo is indeed an all time favorite.

[Slow Triathlete]

Right now it would be a toss up between McConnell's Scottish Cake and Gawith's Best Brown.

[Alyks]

I think it's a 3-way tie between Best Brown Flake, Firedance and chocolate flake from SG, but if I have to choose....BBF.

[cp478]

still a nooby as far as number of tobaccos tried . i would have to say so far is sg perfection, not my favorite but very good and uber relaxing.

I've only been on this site a couple of days and already I've had my heart broken about 8 times! Oh well, I've got about a pound of it left from the old days. But I guess that island just got a little smaller, eh? No Escudo, no Old London, no Dunhill Elizabethan... time to find some new favorites!
