You piqued my curiosity about the County Squire's Middle Earth blends. Unfortunately, their site is down. Can you tell me more?A bowl of a very dark English called "St. Charles Blend" from local tobacconist , quite nice.
I also placed an order with The Country Squire, a tobacconist in Mississippi.
2oz of Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake
They also offer a line of Middle Earth themed blends that have very good reviews so I ordered their sampler pack (6 blends).
Wizard Weed. I think Bushman had some of those so you might get him to weigh in.You piqued my curiosity about the County Squire's Middle Earth blends. Unfortunately, their site is down. Can you tell me more?
Yes, I was able to get in this morning. Keep us postedHey Dave, I can't comment on them yet as they won't arrive until Saturday. I will post reviews as I sample them.
Just checked their site and it was back up;

I'm not a fan of Cherry anything so have no recommendations for you. But in the case of all aeros I think a cherry cased blend (flavoring added when it is put into the press) vs a cherry topped blend (flavoring added as a topping just before tobacco is cut) would be milder & not produce tongue bite. Aero cased seems to always be preferable.Will do.
Today's smoke was Ole Shenandoah Drunken Cherry (used to be called Bootlegger).
I have never been completely happy with most cherry blends, many seem to have a bitter undertone and/or tend to be tongue-biters.
This blend is really good and doesn't seem to suffer from those issues, So I am very pleased and really enjoyed this one. It will adequately fill my aromatic cherry smoke needs for the time being.
I am open to suggestions of other cherry blends. what do ya'll like?
Cheers!
Most of the time I've smoked C&D bulk blends. Have been smoking Bayou Morning and Oriental Silk. Just ordered Orion's Arrow and Sutliff's Victorian match blend which I've smoked in the past..Cornell & Diehl - Star of the East
