The generosity of members of this forum has been widely celebrated and I have another example to add to the list.
A while back I had posted a thread asking for suggestions of VaBurs after smoking Solani Aged Burley Flake and wondering what else was out there with the earthiness of the burley merged with a subtle dark and sweet virgina. I was given many suggestions and have tried a couple since.
I also received a PM from cobguy who offered to send me a 'sample' of Newminster's #403 Superior Round Slices which he thought would be right up my alley. I told him that I appreciated his offer but lived in Canada so the shipping may be an issue. He sent the 'sample' anyways and also included a couple of large flakes of Stonehaven! From 2007 no less! I have yet to try Stonehaven yet and to say that it was on my bucket list is an understatement.
I've been holding off on trying the Stonehaven until a special occasion but the #403 is a fantastic blend and the 'sample' size was more than generous.
