I tried to explain this milestone to my wife tonight, I don't think she quite understood the full signifigance signifigance significance of the achievement reached today...I HAVE NOW SAMPLED 100 DIFFERENT BLENDS OF PIPE TOBACCO!!!!!! :puffy: :puffy: :puffy: All documented on a spreadsheet, although with very sparse review notes because I mostly use it to remember 'yes' or 'no' to buying more, and blend ingredients.
Anyway, thought I might get a more enthusiastic cheering from you lot than the home front.

I wish I kept a good tasting journal...then again I am very far from 100 blends tried! Congrats brother.

I second the question "any stand out blends?"

A few standout blends Joseph, a process of elimination. I enjoyed most of them, but 60/100 I did not feel the need to repurchase after the initial tin/sample, sometimes just because they were very similiar to something else I decided was slightly more to my liking. Of the remaining 40, only about 20 I would be inclined to buy more than a tin at a time.

Wow! I'm of that mind myself, trying as many as possible. Way behind you though. Biggest hold-up thus far is my frugality...I'm near scared to death to open too many cans and have something go dry (or mold up, given my latitude).

+1 on the notion of making/keeping notes. Wish I had done so. I am no where near The 100 Blend Club.
