I'm on a hunt for a blend that couples pressed and aged dark virginias (in cake or flake), perique, a splash of latakia, and natural vanilla (possibly deer's tongue) to give a nice room aroma, So far I have failed in my hunt. I've been toying with just "rolling my own", but I wonder if anyone knows of such a blend.

Have you tried using this site: http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/

I'm almost certain that's where I stumbled upon Butternut Burley.

Tobaccoreviews.com just updated their search feature (click the advanced tab in to top,left corner) and it's way better than it used to be.

Thanks guys! The new search feature is great. Looks like Ruins Of Isnegard from Just For Him just might suit the bill.

Thanks again!

No. As per usual I became distracted by something shiny and forgot all about it. Thanks for reminding me!

I tried it as well as 'Shortcut...' and 'Treebeard'. I dunno, jury's still out. They're nice tobacco, but the sweetness tastes a bit artificial and is maybe a little too overdone. Not sure, might just be the day. I'll have to keep at em and see if anything changes...

I seem to be very partial lately to " Habana Daydreams" by Cornell & Diehl. It has a little cigar leaf mixed in. I have received positive coments about the aroma but also one guy said it smelled like I was burning old gym socks! So take it for what it is worth. I use tobaccoreviews.com myself and find them to be pretty good.

The last few months I've found myself reaching for Gentleman Callers from C&D more then anything. Be ready to dedicate a pipe to it though- it leaves a very strong ghost.
