March Tobacco of the Month Poll

[Chris0673]

Here it is folks! The brand new Tobacco of the Month poll! We have a lot of really good nominations so this is going to be a tough one! Personally, I like them all but just like the immortals..."There can be only one!" (I think I just really dated myself here)

Anyway, without further ado, This months nominations for Tobacco of the Month:

Three Oaks Syrian - Rare Syrian Latakia, with its renowned mellow smokiness, is balanced with naturally sweet Orientals and aged Virginia leaf to create a satisfying blend reminiscent of classic Syrian Latakia blends of old. Formulated by Tad Gage to reflect the character of original Three Oaks Pipe Tobacco, it tantalizes with intriguing differences.

SG Kendal Cream Flake - This selection of blended Burley and Virginias offers a mild and creamy smoke from a medium density flake. With an added essence, the pipe smoker who derives pleasure from an easy to rub out flake will certainly enjoy Kendal Cream Flake.

HH Old Dark Fired - A bold flake of dark-fired burleys in a well balanced unity with Flue-cured Virginias. This flake is Hot Pressed, meaning that during the pressing, heat is added by steam to the tobaccos which causes the tobacco to intensify the marrying process giving us a bolder tobacco. The robust, earthly flavour of the dark-fired burleys shines through in the taste, and you will experience a deeply satisfying smoke indeed.

Solani Aged Burley Flake - A skillful mixture of three aged Burley's - dark brown Burley from Kentucky, light Burley from Brazil, and white Burley from Malawi - Southeast Africa. A very natural blend with absolutely no additives or flavors - a true Burley blend.

Esoterica Penzance - A wonderful complex secret recipe of the finest Virginia, choice Turkish and Orientals and Cyprian Latakia, all hand blended together, hard pressed and broad cut into thick flakes. Long matured and easily crumbled to facilitate pipe filling.

1792 Flake - Full strength, mellow tobacco comprising a blend of dark-fired Tanzanian leaf. Made in England.
Notes: This 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. Also sold as Cob Flake in Europe.

Prince Albert - Crimp-cut, mild smoking mixture. Made in the USA.
Notes: Pipe Tobacco Hall of Fame Inductee. The Prince Albert Blends were introduced by R.J Reynolds in 1907. R.J. Reynolds sold the brand to the John Middleton Tobacco Company, Limerick, PA, in 1987, who has been producing it ever since.

Lots of good choices on this list, but I had to go with 1792 Flake, because I have only tried a small sample of it, and I have a tin that needs to be popped.

[Branzig]

I nominated Kendal Cream....but 1792 is really good an so is PA!!!!

This is the toughest TOTM ever haha, I am going Cream Flake still though

[commonsenseman]

This is tough. Granted, 1792 is the best tobacco, obviously. But there are a few excellent choices, ABF & Prince Albert are epic.

Guys! I don't like tie breakers!

I agree. And I don't like the prospect of having to do a run-off with 2 of my favorite tobaccos of all time. I vote if there is a tie we blend ODF and PA and review it as it's own blend.
