Steve:
    I ordered some of Bob Hamlin's PCCA "Equinox" blend last week and 
received it just a couple of days ago. This stuff is just awesome. Upon 
opening the tin, the wonderful aroma of the virginias came through mixed 
in with the smoky overtone of the latakia. I loaded up my Peterson and  
set flame to tobacco. The flavor and smoothness of this mixture was 
simply unbelievable and it lasted from first puff to last, burning down 
to a nice white ash. Joe Hurley was right in his recommendation of this 
excellent blend when he mentioned it about two PD ago. It's too bad that 
Bob only has a relatively small quantity of this stuff around. Another 
blend that I will rave about, given the opportunity to, is Esoterica 
Tobbacciana's "And So To Bed". I like to reserve this during the night 
just before--coincidentally enough--retiring for the night. Have you or 
anyone else in the group tried this blend? Thanks for bearing with me in 
my ramblings on.
