Ok folks, back from oblivion! Here is the TOTM poll for February! The month we honor our past presidents and spend way too much money on our significant other! So pull up a chair, pack a bowl, and contemplate the awesome wonder of tobacco. While you're at it, vote for your favorite tobacco, or one you'd like to try!
SG 1792 Flake (http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/1004/samuel-gawith-1792-flake) -1792 Flake is a full-strength, mellow tobacco comprising a blend of dark-fired Tanzanian leaf. It is Gawith's best-selling premium grade flake. It starts as 7 lbs. of hand stripped leaf and goes through a steaming process prior to being pressed. The cake, having been prepared, is wrapped in a select leaf and packed by hand into a 12 inch square. This cake is pressed and left for a minimum of two hours. Then, the pressed cake is placed into a steam press where it is baked at full heat for two to three hours. The baked cake has then taken on 1792's characteristic rich, dark color. It's hardening occurs during cooling. Once the process of cutting the flake and adding a tonquin flavor is carried out, hand wrapping and packing finalizes 1792, making it ready for rubbing into your pipe.
Sutliff's Private Stock Great Outdoors (http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/3574/sutliff-tobacco-company-great-outdoors) - It is perhaps ironic that a blend named Great Outdoors should be appreciated for its room note. This outstanding aromatic is a mixture of Burley, Vanilla, and flavored Black Cavendish. Perfect for fans of Field and Stream. Notes: This blend is manufactured by Sutliff and sold under their "Sutliff Private Stock" brand.
H&H Anniversary Kake (http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/2572/hearth-home-anniversary-kake) - Anniversary Kake- We wanted to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the Hearth and Home tobaccos with a special blend, and due to a fortunate "accident", we were able to create this one. We ordered a blending Virginia that we expected to be all Red, but it turned out to be a mixture of everything from Lemon through Brown, and when we opened the bag, the aroma was amazing. We were able to order more of this tobacco, and then we combined it with St. James Perique (a good amount), heat-treated and pressed it. The result is a smooth, flavorful cake with a mouth-watering chocolate and fig pouch aroma.
Tsuge Winter's Embrace (http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/9393/tsuge-premium-pipe-tobacco-winters-embrace) -Winter's Embrace expertly blends bright flue-cured Virginia tobaccos with mellow Burleys and a soft black Cavendish for a pleasant, mild smoke. A light topping of vanilla and fruit flavors create a terrific room note. Notes: "The Four Seasons" is a line of aromatic blends that are meant to capture the essence of the four distinct seasons in Japan. They were announced at 2014 IPCPR, and released in late 2014.
Land Limited Ready Rubbed (http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/9738/lane-limited-lane-limited-ready-rubbed) -For years, smokers revered the dark blue tin and pouch of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed, widely contained one of the smoothest Burley blends ever. Toward the end of its run it was made by Lane Limited, and Lane production was acclaimed, but Lane lost the right to use the name. Due to huge demand, Lane is bringing back this blend under the new name Lane Limited Ready Rubbed. An old favorite has returned.
