Nice Dan! I have two big tobacco orders (for me anyways) on the way so I can really start cellaring my favourites.
I will be smoking them on off for now. This is me stocking up against price fluctuations. I like some aromatics, but I am more a light English blend kind of smoker. Squadron Leader, Bombay Court, and FMC are probably my favorite tobaccos. That being said, the cinnamon was actually quite good. The black dansk and cherry bonbon are ok. Those two were much better with a filtered pipe. As of right now I only own one pipe with a filter. I may actually pick up one or two more just for the super sweet aromatics. The Oriental Supreme was ok. I was looking for a cheaper alternative to SL, FMC, or Bombay Court. Unfortunately this isn't it. The Luxury Bullseye was definitely the best tobacco of the bunch. I will be ordering a lot more of that here soon.
Ah, OK - if this is for smoking now,it doesn't matter as much.
Hm - less expensive alternative to Squadron Leader. Have you explored the Altadis bulks? I have both Balkan II and Byzantium onhand. Majestic English is pretty decent - I would consider that a full English. Heavy English didn't have enough lat for me, but might be a good substitute for SL, etc - and it's only about $8.50 for 4 oz. at P & C.

We have several threads on cellaring.... and I've always been all for it. It's been getting more and
more of a thing to do.... it's a needs to be done now thing for me. I have tobacco aging, some for quit a while. But
if you're just gathering.... there's nothing wrong with that either. Get all you can get, and get it quick!

I just ordered about 2pounds from a couple different vendors. trying to stock up now as our horrible tax situation in Canada is about to get a whole lot worse. Lets see what customs does!
hey brdavidson , as a Canadian also I have noticed that if I order my tobacco from smokingpipes in quantities of 8oz or less I usually do not get charged nay duty or taxes. With the shipping rates from smokingpipes being very reasonable to Canada I just order more often & keep my oders at 8oz at a time. Its a bit of a pain but way cheaper than paying duty & taxes.
I haven't tried any of those, but I've heard wonderful things about Luxury Bullseye Flake. Nice haul, dpkrause.
Onwards and upwards, my friend!- Status
