It has been a burly (not Burley) week with tendrils of its origin in the fires below, but I finally made it to the mailbox to find... great delights. Bonehed sent over four delicious-looking samples -- Cuban Mixture, 1637, Tambolaka, and Virginia Spice, all of which I've been curious about -- and this attractive Norm Triptow bent bulldog style pipe. This was a spontaneous act of generosity and is much appreciated! I look forward to trying all those samples. Dadgy sent over a sample of Full Virginia Flake. In addition, someone tagged along the latest from Sadistic Intent for the death metal quotient. A great day at the post office; thank you all.
