   I recently went sort of hog wild (for me) on pipesandcigars.com and took two great big pills for my TAD. Through a strange turn of events and several calls and trips to the post office thanks to a careless carrier, I share with you my latest tobacco haul.

   

   Now, if you'll excuse me, gentlemen, I have some smoking to do

   You must tell me your thoughts on the Oriental Mixtures. I've been eyeing them up for a long while, but I am yet to try them.

   Nice haul! I have the Oriental #1 and like it quite a bit. I have not tried the other Oriental blends.

   ssjones, I picked up the 3.5 oz. tin of Symphony on pipesandcigars.com for a little over $8. I consider it a steal. I will certainly let you know what I think when I try it.

   If I had to take a guess, I would say those are probably gonna be on the back burner for a while. The date on all three tins said August, 2008, and I am thinking of letting them age just a little longer before I open them. In any case, I will certainly let you know what I think.

   I'm a big fan of Symphony, I think its a great value like a lot of MacBaren blends.
   Not a big fan of the Orientals, but I've found that most McClelland Virginias just dont agree with me.
   I still have 100gm tins of No 1 and No 8 that I'm not sure I'll ever finish.

   Wow, nice haul! I'd love to have a tin of MM!

    Thats a good one. Alas, I am not a very hardcore smoker, just 2-3 bowls a day for me. Hell, what I have here will probably last me a good 6 months or so.
