Ok,
I found a gentleman who is clearing out some of his cellar. He had a bulk bunch he wanted to get rid of and as I have not tried many blends I thought this would be a good way to try a few. Hopefully there aren't any stinkers in here but again as I haven't tried them who knows lol. I'm greatly looking forward to upcoming mail.

If the price is reasonable you shouldn’t hesitate to buy everything listed. There may be some blends in the mix that you won’t enjoyed based on your personal tastes, but I’m sure you will be able to find someone here willing to make a trade with you if that happens.

The Penzance and Stonehaven are nearly impossible to find, with a cult following them every step of the way.

Good picks. Many of them will need a lot of dry time such as Molto Dolche(one day at least)Kendle Kake(a few hours) but all are tasty blends.

It all came in at close to $100.00. It seemed like a great opportunity to try a few blends that I know I have read about here and have not had the chance to get in the wild yet. Thank you all for your opinions and thoughts. As always they are greatly appreciated.

Nice score. Molto is a good quality aro but, like Toker wrote, it takes a bit of dry time. You cannot go wrong with Penzance, at least in my opinion.
And I'm going to steal Baron's thunder and mention Black House for your next TAD. I love it. It's a very nice Balkan blend that never ceases to please, especially with a nice cup of coffee.

Man, I wish you had consulted me first... Those are all awful blends. I'd feel horrible if you smoked any of them. Send them to me and I'll make sure they're properly disposed of... :rofl:
Those plugs, most likely, will be potent Nic-bombs. The Dominican Glory Maduro and Hanbana Daydreams will have a cigar taste to them. The SG flakes will be grreat nce you dry them.. I find the SG flakes to smoke a little better when rubbed out. Molto Dolce is very damp when first opened, so spread it out on a paper towel overnight. If you end up not liking the Penzance (or any of them) you'll be able to trade them away here.
