:o)

J. R. R. Tolkien smoked Capstan Navy Cut

I smoke OGS as well .. All the cool kids do.

I've always wondered about this but never could find any reference to someone actually knowing what he smoked. Hey, this is cool. I may have to get some and pick up The Hobbit! Cool.

smoked some variety of what C&D markets as "Crooner", a burley and deer tongue mix. Sen Jim Bunning (R, KY) was a Granger smoker, or that was what he advertised when he was smoking. Based on a 40s advertisement, Santa smoked ERRd and Holiday.

deer tongue ?

it's a plant

In the literal sense of the word it is, in fact, smoking weed.

I read that William Faulkner liked to spread newspapers on his kitchen table, dumb out various blends and mix them together to create new varieties to smoke.

As for "Crooner," it's a good smoke, good tasting anyway, but I have such a terrible time getting that cube-cut burley to burn that I had to give up on it. The deer's tongue is sort of tangy and sharp.

Thanks guys.

Haven't heard those before. Just read a couple of articles that mentioned Gerald Ford also smoked H&H, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Walnut.

The actor William Conrad tried many blends and ended up smoking Amphora Red Full Aromatic.

Smokey

Small cut, greenish in color and has a taste kind of like vanilla. Half & Half has deer tongue and it is usually identifiable by examining the tobacco. Although the last pouch I got I could find none. May have been a change. I don't know. But, there are a lot of blends that use some deer tonque.

Georges Simenon preferred Dunhill Elizabethan, Royal Yacht, De Luxe Navy Rolls.
