5 tins in the cart put haven't pulled the trigger yet. It's getting fantastic reviews and is favorably compared as a replacement for Three Nuns original prior to the change.
Need a couple of pounds of ODF first.

Okay, guys, sorry for the tangent but please stop buying MacBaren’s HH ODF; flake or rr. It’s really nasty stuff. It’s terrible and disgusting and shouldn’t be anywhere in your home. I have a... friend... who has it on good authority that HH ODF is a threat to intelligent life everywhere in the cosmos.
I’m the only one that I know of who has the proper equipment to store this decidedly unpleasant blend safely, so please, if you have any of this wretched tobacco please message me and I’ll pay your shipping fee so that it may reside safely in my specialized containers. And no, I’m not counted as intelligent life. I went through most of my brain cells in the 80’s.

Those of us who've been cellaring for a while had a much less expensive time hoarding. This is from 2012.
Not one specific blend, but I've been meaning to purchase and try the Lovecraft themed lineup from C&D.
Seems like Black Frigate is popular so I'm curious. And I saw folks talking about Boswell Northwoods.
Both of those are fantastic. I think Boswell's has a sampler you can order. 4 or 5 one ounce samples for a set price. That's how I discovered Northwoods. Just be aware Boswell's uses a slightly sweet topping but it's done very well and doesn't hide the base blend.
I'm set. After having tried hundreds of blends over the years, I've stocked up on what I like. That said, if a tin or two of Rattray's made or McConnell era HOTW, or a couple of others, or A&C Peterson made Escudo, showed up at a price that wouldn't make me wince, I'd add them to the pile. Don't think I'll ever have to worry about that opportunity.
PipeHunter - Yes! While not anywhere near next on my to-try list, being a huge, Huge, HUGE H.P.Lovecraft fan, I am curios about those as well. Hmmm... wonder what smoking those mixtures while reading Lovecraft's weird-fiction would make you want to re-title the stories as?... "The Strange PIPE case of Charles Dexter Ward", "The PIPE SMOKE over Innsmouth", "At the Mountains of TOBACCO madness" LOL! - Sherm Natman
Thanks for the info Panhandler. I was looking at tobacco reviews and Boswell has something called "Railroad Station" which, the name alone is awesome. So the sampler is probably a good way to go.
Some of the blends that pop up on lists like these interest me. Bothy Flake popped up on the radar awhile back and I purchased these in 2014. Don't hear that much noise about it anymore.
Bought HH ODF by mistake when I really wanted Bold Kentucky. Anyone else have trouble telling these 2 apart? Anyway the ODF is in the cellar and the Bold Kentucky is still at 33,000 feet somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Should be on my door step in a couple of days.
