Old Ironsides by Dan Tobacco

After months of messing with different blends, I've aquired a taste for English blends that are heavy on latakia. They are tastey, non tiring, and definitely where it's at for me. The guys on the tobacco review forums rave about the latakia blast with Old Ironsides so I picked up a tin a few days ago. All I can say is yummm.....yummy. It's got a Balkan like creaminess to it but not as thick. The sweetness is hard to describe but it's licoricey. The licoricey sweetness makes it unique to anything else I've tried. Man, you can really puff this stuff and it does not get real hot. No bite whatsoever. Nadda. I understand this is no longer available? The local B&M has a few tins so I should buy it up maybe.

Sick Re: Old Ironsides by Dan Tobacco

Sounds Yummy. I'm not real big on English blends,however I beleive this is worth a try. Too bad that it will no longer be available here in the US along with several other CAO blends.

Re: Old Ironsides by Dan Tobacco

Old Ironsides is a GREAT tobacco. I didn't know it was no longer available. I've been away for years blending my own. Geez!! No 965....No Old Ironsides....What's next?

Re: Old Ironsides by Dan Tobacco

No longer available tobacco always seems to taste better, doesn't it? Bill Baileys Balkan Blend has a kick like Old Ironsides.

Re: Old Ironsides by Dan Tobacco

Isn't it funny how we always want what we can't have? Cars, women, houses, tobacco, etc...............

BTW I'm also a Bill Baileys Balkan Blend, I've got a fresh tin just waiting for me.......I can hardly stand waiting.

You can still get Old Ironsides here. Decent prices for all their tobacco I think

Thanks for the link. I read somewhere it was being discontinued. Tobac Reviews I think.
