Squadron Leader??

[Kayak_Rat]

If you will pm me your addy, I will send some Squadron Leader out to you. I have some in a bail top jar. It is a very good beginner english. not overly rich and smokes well.


Edit: Misread. Thought you were still looking for some.

How do you private message someone??

I went feet first and bought a few tins of Nightcap as my first English blend, and it was a year or so later when I first tried Squadron Leader after gifting a tin to my nephew. I would agree that it is a good "entry-level" English blend, and it's especially good if you enjoy the Lakeland essence present in many SG and G&H offerings.

Well I just finished smoking my first bowl of Squadron Leader and so far not bad. I guess i was expecting a little more from an "English blend". Since this is considered a medium strength blend I will be looking to try something stronger. Anyone have any suggestions??

My favorite right now is Frog Morton, but of course, this is subject to change with the next tin of tobacco I open...

Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend (from Dan Tobacco) is probably my favorite "strong" English. Boswell's Northwoods is also good. If you can find some Dunhill 965 (or wait until it comes back), it's a medium English but more robust than the Squadron Leader.

Me Too !

I have looked everywhere locally for Squadron Leader and cant find it. I have been wondering if there are any blends that taste the same as SL? Thanks in advance.

Pipes and cigars seems to have it in stock. Their online inventory isn't alway perfect but if you give them a call they might have some. Act quick. If they do have any it won't last for long.

They're good people. I grew up in Albany and they've had a B&M there for years. Calls work well with them if you want to check on a specific item for ordering. They have an 800 number. Smokingpipes.com is also an excellent online vendor, but they don't have any SL right now.
