You're listening to Country Squire Radio.

Hey, welcome to Country Squire Radio. I am Bo.

And I'm John David.

And, man, John, I'm excited to be here.

Man, I'm fired up, dude.

That's great.

Second edition.

So last week, you know, we really kind of talked about the history of the country Squire. Yeah. And, dude, that was awesome. We've got a lot of interesting feedback from that. People are like, I didn't know that. They've come up to me in the shop since then. Awesome. Yeah. Awesome, awesome. Well, you know, we've gotten some questions, too, and near the end of the show, we'll attempt to answer at least one of those questions.

That's right. Well, you know, we've gotten some questions, too, and near the end of the show, we'll attempt to answer at least one of those questions.

That's right.

You know, we ended last week talking about coming back this week and talking about blends, because one of the great things about the country Squire is that you guys have your own custom blends that you really can't find anywhere else.

That's right.

A lot of them, you know, a lot of smoke shops, they'll actually buy bulk tobacco blends and just take them right out of a bag and put them into a jar.

Sometimes they'll, you know, or into bags to distribute.

Sometimes they'll name them something different to give you the impression that their own blends.

Almost all of our

blends are actually custom blends that we blend in the shop. And, you know, so we, you know, we're

kind of picky about what we do. And a lot of that is just, you know, over the years, we've just

developed different stuff that we just really like. And people come in and they want a custom deal and we just, you know, we try to make it. So has the Country Squire been blending since day one? Yeah, yeah, since 1970. And, you know, I think some of the first blends were a little rough. They kind of had to get the edges worked off there for a while. But yeah, we sure have. So it's been going a long time. What right now is the oldest blend that y'all still sell? Well, it'd be Cherokee. Cherokee, and I describe Cherokee. People ask me, what's your best selling blend? And I always talk about Cherokee. Cherokee is our number one selling tobacco, and it's a pipe smoker's tobacco. So it's one of those tobaccos. It's got black cavendish in it. So it's certainly, you know, mild

aromatic, but it's one of those that, you know, is, is you can smoke every day. It's not

going to get old. It doesn't wear you out with, you know, casing or these crazy flavors.

And so we've had Cherokee for a long time. The cool thing about Cherokee is as they were developing it, they came up with three Cherokee blends. They couldn't make up their mind on which one they like the best. Right. And so initially we had Cherokee number one, Cherokee number two, and Cherokee number three. Sounds like a PIMS Cup.
