Great Vid & Great Suggestions. Thanks :)
All great blends. Have not had the Shandygaff yet, but it is on the wishlist. I have all of the other blends mentioned and agree that they are fantastic smokes. One that does not get mentioned is Plantation Evening. This blend receives mixed reviews on tobaccoreviews.com, but I think that is because it requires a bit more patience and adjustment to a much slower rate of puff to really draw out complex flavor profile. Here is my review on your site: "This blend definitely benefits from a more focused and contemplative smoke. It requires attention and careful as well as measured puffing to enjoy the complexity of the various components, but the time spent is worth the effort. I do understand the l... abeling and the descriptors used so far - mild, middle-of-the-road, etc - but these labels and descriptors belie its interesting complexity. As an earlier reviewer commented, the various components are so well blended that no particular elements stands out. The hint of Orientals are in the foreground early in the puff, but they move a bit to the background halfway through the bowl as the Virginias and Perique become more prominent. Burned nicely with Lino relight and leaves a finish of clean, white ash. And I am left eager to return the next day over my afternoon cup of coffee or Earl Grey." Thanks again for another great blog discussion!
@Alain L. Our absolute pleasure, Alain. Thanks for watching!
@Scott S Yes, a great suggestion! Thanks so much, Scott :D
Is there a text (or subtitled) version of this somewhere? Thanks!
@Tom Haynes We're able to say that all of our videos are captioned. After you hit play, at the bottom of the screen you'll see the YouTube logo and a cog/gear to the left of it. To the left of that is a box with the letters "CC" in it. Click on the box and the captions are displayed.
I love these snippets that you guys do. Will be checking out these blends. Love that the process involved with these blends was revealed by Jeremy. Giving one a glimpse into his world as Head Blender, simply awesome.
@Perdurabo We're happy you liked it, and thanks for letting us know. Oh, and make sure to report back on any of the mentioned blends you do pick up!
Great! Thanks for the tips. Pegasus is wonderful.
@Sheldon Richman Glad you liked it, Sheldon. And I couldn't agree more on the Pegasus!
I was looking for some bulk blends to cellar for a rainy day, most of these I had seen but hadn't tried yet. I'll give them a go and then if they are as good a Jeremy says I will cellar a few pounds. Love all my CD tins.

Hoping some of these videos can be posted again, they were super helpful to me as a newer smoker and I'm sure they could still help many more. Even still, thanks for all the great articles new and old!
