Senseis remind me here. Which flakes/plugs are the same as 1792? We just had a GH drop here, and I picked up another lb of Black Irish X and half lb of Dark Birds Eye. Yes I know those are GH not SG, but I’m always looking for both. You d*#&%@ Brits have ruined me for good ol’ Merkun blends. You’d think y’all discovered tobacco😂

This is the thing, right. Back in the days when our old folk were smoking pipes, my Grandfather as an example. Smoked only One blend, Players Digger Flake, and he smoked it in a basic straight billiard that lasted till it didn't, then he got a new one. All this having dozens of blends knocking about in the house and dozens of Pipes wasn't really the done thing for the man on the street back in the day. I'm fairly new to Pipe smoking, since Autumn '21. And I've got far too many Pipes, wasted far too much money on Pipes I don't use. I now know what style pipe I like to smoke and have bought a few more of the same to keep as spares. And I now know, after finding what Baccy I like, I only need Two or Three blends, maybe Four at the most to keep a small quantity of G&H No7, or Grasmere Flake to dip into as a dessert blend. I'd be happy if all I could get was S. Gawith's Skiff Mixture. I'm well past the point of spending Money on something just to try it. I'd rather just get more of what I like and and what I'm going to get reliable satisfaction from. Cheers.

Yes, the situation nowadays is the same with everything else, not just tobaccos. Too many blends to choose from, too many styles of pipes and mixtures… one can get overwhelmed as most do. It’s important to be able to filter things out! I don’t mind occasional different smokes or experiments, but I stick to what I like generally! I’m not searching for anything new, that’s for sure!😄

The Dark flake/Plug is definitely stronger, Bosun is milder, but still above medium. To me, they are excellent tobaccos any time of the day, with or without a meal. Enjoy your smokes!

It’s quite exciting trying different tobaccos, especially in the beginning… but once you discover few dozen blends you love, it kinda looses the purpose😅.

Coniston is so good too😅, but if I had to keep adding I’ll have to carry on with the twists, Bob’s chocolate… brown F aromatic… 😆 I love them all, yet these 3 remain my ‘most often smoked’ by far! The difference between the cut and plug in taste is minimal (if any at all), I’m not sure if I can tell them apart, especially with some age. I have the feeling that the plugs are slightly milder.

I’m getting tired of “Lakeland complains”😅 Kendal Kentucky and Dark Birds Eye are also Lakelands, same as the Dark Plug and the twists… and Bosun, Coniston or Ennerdale and the MOST Lakeland of them all is 1792!!!😄 - how can you say “I’m not fond of Lakelands”? You probably meant to say you don’t like “floral scents” and particularly Rose and Geranium. Bosun however, is mostly clove/cardamon/fennel sort of thing… can’t even describe it, but certainly nothing to do with rose/geranium. Regards
