Some really interesting stuff I had this year for the first time, with favorites starred:
*Esoterica Stonehaven

*Gawith Full Virginia Flake

Gawith Best Brown Flake

*GLP Union Square (a tin from 2009 about blew my mind)

GLP Laurel Heights (from 2007)

GLP Samarra (2001)

*GLP Blackpoint (two tins, 2006 & 2007, which were amazing)

GLP Robusto (2002)

GLP Jackknife Plug

GLP Triple Play (the only new to me GLP blend this year that I didn't care for)

*PCCA original Boston 1776 (tinned in 1996)

Full Virginia Flake and Stonehaven instantly became favorites going forward. The Drucquer XX Press is incredible but I'm going to stretch out my 4oz as long as I can. Blackpoint was an eye opener when I wasn't expecting it.
