PAD / TAD Eaglerico

[eaglerico]

My PAD / TAD for the month came in. 1lb of MB Vanilla Cream Flake, 1 Cube of MB Gold, 2 tins of Escudo, 1 pouch of CB Dark and my Mario Grandi Dublin with matching tamper.

And the pipe.

Outstanding! That flake looks good enough to eat. Presentation like a box of chocolates. Congrats and enjoy!

great grain on that Mario freehand

Thanks all for the kind words. I was ecstatic when I saw it pop up on Smokingpipes. I loved the grain.
I was surprised at how long the flakes were. They are twice the size of the flakes from the tin. I posted the pics of the flakes so people can see what the 1 pound MB boxes look like. It comes in a zip-lock bag, but the bag is factory sealed. I had to rip off a perforated strip before I could open the bag. I was appalled when I first opened it then was very impressed. I think I will include another pound in my next order.
I didn't post pics of the Gold Cube, it comes in a little bag inside the cube. The bag is similar to the mylar bags that Esoterica blends come in, just not as thick. I opened it to jar it and had trouble opening the bag. I now feel I could have left it in the bag. It smells wonderful.

Very nice!

But I do feel better when it's all in jars and stashed in my cellar

I feel the same. Its all safely tucked away in jars and labeled. I am almost to the point that I want to open all my square tines as well. Not there yet, but close.

Nice Haul you put me in the mood to make another PAD/TAD myself.

Great haul of tobacco and a beautiful pipe. I hope the pipe smokes great for you.
