I've been fighting off a multi-pronged effort by various viruses and bacteria to keep me from smoking a pipe over this last month. But of course, the absence of the real thing just made me buy more, to live vicariously. I promised that I wasn't going to open any of the boxes until my head and lungs cleared up, so here it is. Acquired from online merchants Country Squire, CigarStandard, Iwan Riess and PM member Phill22.
Thank you all!

Out of that grouping, And So To Bed and Doblone d'Oro are my favorites. Great haul!

Duane, the two that I’ve never tried are the Rattray’s (never had any Rattrays, believe it or not) and the Wessex. According to the label, Wessex Gold Slice is now made in the US by Mac Baren. That would suggest that it is being made by Sutliff.

Didn't you smoke Exotic Orange? Rattray's blends are quite exceptional. Marlin and Stirling Flake being my favorite non aros of the bunch, and Red Rapparee being one of my favorite all around Latakia blends due to its heavy oriental content.

Likely so, but the way they've handled Mac Baren, St. Bruno, Amphora, and Russ's blends, that's certainly not a bad thing.

You will have to let us know what you think of the Brunello Flake. The Doblone d'Oro is one of my regular smokes. That is interesting to know about the Wessex, I did not know Mac Baren was making them now.

I tried it once and really liked it, but that was at a Morley’s Pipe Club after several Dogfish Head 60 Minute beers. Didn’t make any tasting notes.

Strong work Woodsroad! All wonderful blends. The Dablone d'Oro is a personal favorite and cellared very deep in my collection.

I love seeing tobacco pictures like this! I think we all feel the same seeing those opened boxes with the loot laid out on the table.

The Dobline D’Oro has several years on it already. I really enjoy this blend and so It’s nice to know that I’ll have aged enjoyment for years to come.
