Chatham Manor. I ordered a tub yesterday from P&C so we'll see. I hope I won't be disappointed.
You won't. I promise :)
None. My pipe and tobacco buying is finished.

Somehow, I missed the opportunity to try the Penzance and Full Virginia Flake in the past, so these 2 are on my 'must try' list.

Not at all. Tobacco is beyond the price I'm willing to pay now, and I haven't bought a pipe since September. My interest in barbering has buried any pipe and tobacco collecting interest. I recently threw out some pipes that weren't getting used.

What's funny about that? I can no longer afford the prices they are asking.
Why are you throwing away the pipes, sir?
They had fallen out of use. Ah, I was right. September was the last time I bought a pipe.

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.
Embers, have you tried it yet?

I was just joking. I was thinking that you have enough tobacco, so that was the reason of you not buying anymore. Besides, we always make jokes of ourselves (pipe smoker stereotype) how we are not going to buy tobacco or pipes anymore.

I know, but recent price hikes have made me glad that I started putting back tobacco years ago. I should be set for several decades now. Scares me to think what tobacco prices are going to look like in the next few years.

I have a drawer full of tobaccos I haven't tried. Next will probably be Grousemoor and HH Pure Virginia. Next to purchase are Fribourg & Treyer Blackjack, McConnell Red Virginia and Samuel Gawith Cabbies Mixture .

I'd like to try the Cult series blends. I see P&C has the full line on sale right now.
And I saw folks talking about Boswell Northwoods.
Northwoods remains my favorite English.

Amen brother. I'm done buying, with the exception of the very seldom replenishment of something that's run out. I really don't know how much I've accumulated, but it's a couple of decades worth, given how much my consumption has declined.

I've always bought more blend than I smoke, so I can coast for quite a spell. Probably have better than I'll be able to buy in a few years.

've always bought more blend than I smoke
I'm getting to that point. I have plenty of different stuff, but every week I find myself in a b&m and/or online vendor buying something new that looks interesting.
When I'm talking to the cashier in the b&m I feel like I have to comment about it, like a fat guy in a donut shop..."I know I really shouldn't be doing this, but..." Or sometimes I'm buying more for completely unselfish reasons, which is the lie I tell myself: "I just need some pipe cleaners, but it would be wrong to not buy some tobacco while I'm here. I need to do my part in supporting small local businesses."
(Most of the time I don't really need the pipe cleaners.)

You know you have a serious case of TAD when you have some of about 85% of the blends mentioned in this list.Yikes!
My next acquisition? Believe it or not...Velvet and Mixture 79. After listening to The Artful Codger on The Pipe and Tamper podcast this week, I feel like I should at least try them.

At the moment, I'm also pretty satisfied that I've given all the genres a good try, so I'm not looking at anything else. Curiosity my get to me at some point down the road but I've got a lot of poundage waiting to be smoked and I think it's time to settle into it all.

I told myself I was done buying any tobacco in July of 2016. So what do I do, I have to go try blends like Curly Block, Salty Dogs, Butera Dark Stoved and Doblone d'Oro in the beginning of 2018. It is now Feb 2019 and I am saying again, i am not going to buy any more damned tobacco.
Buying aged tins from Pipestud doesn't count.
