Stockholm Blend - London Export

I'm able to do a side by side comparison with these two pouches.  They are touted as having the fullest flavor of the Stokkebye products.  The London Export is extremely finely cut per Drum, Bali Shag, and a few of the other Stokkebye tobaccos; I am able to grab a handful of the tobacco, shake it and pack my machine with what drops onto the tabletop.  The Stockholm Blend isn't cut as fine and needs to be pinched off into small bits then stretched out to pack the roller.  The London Export seems to be somewhat of a cross between the Amsterdam Shag and the Turkish Export - it is smooth and flavorful through and through.  The Stockholm Blend packs a decent wallop and is probably my favorite of the six varieties pictured above.  I found a convenience store that offers these for $6.89 + tax = $7.50.  Another variety I'm aware of is Late Harvest but I'm unable to find it at any of the local smoke shops.  I will eventually revisit these varieties and update previous reviews as some were less than glowing per "soapy taste".
