    Default Paging Gnome

    Gnome, I think it was you who mentioned Cornell & Diehl pipe tobacco. If I'm wrong, well... oops! sorry!!
    Here's the deal: JR Cigar sells C & D products. I am looking to expand my rotation of tobaccos. I like some aromatics; you know how I feel about "Haymarket." The "Buttered Rum" at JR [[not really a "house blend;" I think it's just something that places like JR get from a distributor like Lane, and label as they wish) is good, too, as was the "Eggnog" I mail-ordered from Habana Premium Cigar in Albany [[whose "Anniversary Kake" is just absolutely goddam wonderful, I might add.)
    But, as is my custom, I digress.
    What I am hoping to find-- and it stands to reason that at least one of the C & D tobaccos falls into this category-- is a nice, mellow blend of some Virginias, maybe hopped up with a little Perique, or something, but you know, something nice & naturally tasty-sweet.
    You know how it is: some of the aromatics are terrific, but over time, I have come to feel that "aromaticizing" tobaccos is a way of, well, kinda falsely providing a flavor. The "Anniversary Kake," for instance, is not an aromatic, but man oh man, the guy who created it managed to blend just the right stuff, in the right ratios, and prepared it [[including pressing it into a dense brick) in just such a way as to produce a stunningly flavorful smoke without the presence of any aroma-producing distractions.
    I'm sure that you get what I mean.
    The point is that, at the moment, I don't feel like putting together an order to Habana; I just want to drive to JR [[in Southfield) and grab something new, tomorrow, and I'm wondering if you have sampled enough C & D products to put you in a position to recommend one of them to me, based on my rambling description of what I am, and am not, looking for.
    I have been to the C & D web-site but, of course, they make all of their stuff sound great.
