fellow pipesters,

Having won an 8 ounce tin of C&D tobacco I have a problem.  I have had
no exposure to their blends, other than reading reviews.  I am looking
for something like either DH London Mixture, Rattray's "Highland
Targe", or SG Balkan Flake.  A quick look at C&D's site does not
simplify the matter they list over 50 English/Balkan blends.

Any suggestions?  Any comments on Star of the East Flake, Sunset
Harbour Flake, Rajah' Court, Atlas Balkan, or Super Balkan???

I am thoroughly confused by the selections having nothing but the
reviews to go by.  but I am thoroughly pleased to have won the right
to be confused;-)

Good morning Al,

Have you called C&D and spoke to Craig Tarler ?

Craig is very helpful in getting you the mixture you're looking for
and it's always a pleasure talking to him.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
