    Right now I have to say my first bowl is Frog Morton on the Town. Closing of course with Dunhill Nightcap.

    I've been bouncing around with some bulk 4oz mixes during the day, would like some ideals on what to try.

    Anyone tried the GL Pease Chelsea Morning?

    Here are my January purchases:

    4 tins of SG FVF
    1 tin of MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired
    1 oz of C&D Billy Budd
    1 oz of C&D Havana Daydream
    1 oz of C&D Pirate Kake
    2 oz of Esoterica Blackpool

    I am getting better at gleaning through reviews and ordering tobaccos that suit my taste. No throw-aways at all!
    I will note that the hype surrounding FVF and HH Old Dark Fired is well-deserved.

    Are these boxes good for cellaring? I am guessing no.

    No they are not. You will need to take it out and put them in a mason jar. They are packed inside a ziplock bag in the box.

    A wee order from McCranie's came in today.
    4 tins of Red Ribbon, the new 2008 crop (I still have 5 tins of the 1996,not including the one I am smoking, and 9 tins of the 2000 - enough so that I only pop tins that are at least 5 years old.)
    8 ounces of Highland Mixture, a delightful medium Balkan that I found in the box pass, courtesy of Rickpal. It's a wonderful 1st pipe of the day.

    Just acquired a pound of el ricon de la pipa #1- Very good stuff, hard to categorize it, a custom blend for a pipe smokers club in spain
    A pound and a half of EMP
    2 tins of McClelland's St. James woods from 2011
    2 tins of Blackwoods flake
    1 tin of darkstar
    1 tin of anniversary
    100 grams of orlik golden sliced
    100 grams of Erinmore mixture
    4 ounces of billy budd
    4 ounces of english luxus newminster
    a pound of newminister english oriental
    50 grams of nightcap
    Half a pound of Dunhill MM965
    100 grams of Christmas cheer 2012
    2 tins of domincan maduro glory
    2 pounds of PS LBF
    8 ounces of Luxury twist flake
    Then from before I have a tin of Royal Cajun of special and the dark
    A tin of Grand oriental's yenje supreme and black sea sokoum
    and a bit of Christmas cheer 2011 left
    Then a blend I threw together of burley, black cavendish and amphora red, maybe 4 ounces of that.
    I'm finally able to smoke freely now, whereas before I was quite limited due to financial restraints. I think I'm good for awhile but I'm going to transfer funds to my paypal account while the dollars are at a good exchange rate so I can do another order maybe around the end of the year.
    I'm in pipe heaven right now.

    That's from about February of this year since I started acquiring, not one load. It's about 3 orders I think. But yeah, I can now smoke freely when I want and not think man, I really want to make this stuff last.
