Thanks for the heads up. I've never had this blend before, but I grabbed five bags. Looks like it's just a ribbon cut straight VA with a very light casing, which sounds good to me.

Have they been restocking other D&R blends?

Yes.
There wasn't much there on Saturday when I checked, there's more both there and at TobaccoPipes today.
I'll keep checking, then. $2.10 per pound for quality tobacco is a steal. That's got to be less than a penny per bowl.

I stocked Penhooker and Penhooker Silver in my cellar. If Windsail is still made, I greatly recommend it, too. They do age well.
How do you store these blends? I think the bags are a very thin mylar, but I'm unsure of how they would hold up over the years. It would be a lot to jar up.

I stuff the sealed one pound bag into a 7 mil gusset bottom Mylar bag. The linked bag holds 1 pound, in the bag. You can add O2 absorbers. If the tobacco seems too dry, I will dampen it bery lightly with a spray bottle of clean water (not chlorinated) and then bag or jar it. Tobacco needs some moisture in order to age.

Thanks, man. Bagging the bag seems like the easiest way to go.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with blending this stuff.
