as you can see I like aromatics but my two favorites are natural

My top five is based on blends that I enjoy the most without breaking the bank.  Supply and cost issues force me to omit some blends that I like just as much.

Some of you guys have Penzance??? Where did you purchase it? WHERE!?!?!?!?!? Here’s my current list of top five favorites (not in any particular order): Rattray’s Hal O’ the Wynd Japanese Tobacco Inc.'s Koiki (since I can’t get it cheap from Japan anymore [I refuse to be ripped off by that one site!], I searched for an alternative brand that also offers an all natural, additives-free tobacco; and I found it in American Spirit’s Original Blend. This stuff is awesome!) McClelland’s Townsman Cavendish (Blue) McClelland’s Frog Morton Samuel Gawith’s 1792 Flake Other rotating favorites: Samuel Gawith’s Squadron Leader Captain Earle’s Ten Russians Peter Stokkebye’s Golden Dansk Butera’s Royal Vintage Sweet Cavendish Benjamin Hartwell’s Evening Stroll Dan Tobacco’s Sweet Vanilla Honeydew
