gkr1, you need 10 ropes for 10 years, 5 ropes for 5 years and 5 ropes for smoking while waiting on the others to age. 20 ropes is only 10 pounds you know. Ten years from now I predict these ropes will be selling for at least 500.00 per rope. With the FDA deeming laws, these will be discontinued and it will be like having gold in your cellar.
Well, mine arrived today. Unfortunately, there are not in a log but cut up pieces. Bummer. Looks and smells wonderful though. Going to prep some and give it a go later.
Michael, you should contact the seller and tell them they need to take it back. Mine better not come like that or they are going back. That is bullshit especially for the money they are charging.
Most of the pieces are a couple inches long but it looks like they were chunks left over from packaging and they combined them into one bag. Ordered two bags and both are like that. Not that big of a deal since I was planning on smoking this batch and have a plug cutter that allows me to slice it thin as I like.
Still, kind of a let down. My next order I will request the whole log.

Well, spoke to SPC and they stated that these do sometimes come cut up, so keep that in mind. They said you can request whole logs if they have them available.
Michael, fuck that shit. They advertise it as a full rope. Nothing in their description says cut up chunks. They will take mine back and give me full ropes. I am sure they will do as I request because they are the best at customer service.
edit; Now if they want to give me a 20% discount for not shipping full ropes, I might reconsider. :mrgreen:

Haha. Yeah, I told them they need to change their advertising.
It is honestly not that big of a deal for me. Disappointing, for sure. But, in the grand scheme of things, it will all eventually get sliced and smoked. I had decided I was going to smoke this before it got here so jarred the whole thing up, slapped today's date on it and will see how long it takes me to go through 500g.

I just got 2 boxes in from SP. I am amazed at how fast these guys are. I ordered 2 ropes on Sat and 2 on Sunday and both got here just a little bit ago. I opened one box and found 2 intact ropes. I opened the second box and there was one full rope and one bag with 5 large chunks in it with no shake at all. I was going to cut it myself anyway so I am not making a big deal out of it. I will remember to ask for full ropes on the next order.
Michael, did yours come in large chunks with no shake, or were they a mess with shake in the bag?

As jmill stated, Curly Chunks. I have a couple coins that will be difficult to slice thinner but the rest were chunks, 2" to 3" long. No shake to mention. It literally looks like these were left over pieces that got thrown into the bag and a couple thinner (1/4") slices to even out the weight.
The rods are 1.5" wide.

I always got a solid block the few times I ordered PH curly block.
The Motzek Strang was another story. It usually was in one piece, but occasionally was in pieces and included some shake. I once weighed it, it was over. I didn’t complain.
