I think, as TheIronMonkey rightly says, it would be a good idea to buy some and stock up, as prices are reasonably cheap at the moment. Lately, I've tried smoking some pipe tobacco and cigars, and I can hardly smell anything that allows me to appreciate the nuances, just a ghostly, undefined smell. And it's been like this for seven months. What's more, my sense of taste is also out of order. But nevertheless, I want to buy more tobacco, hahahaha. I'm going to ask at the store if they can get, better flake tins, I don't know if that will be possible.

Has anyone tried this? I was visiting my favorite tobacco shop, and what a pleasant surprise when I saw these tobaccos, which I haven't tried yet. With the Brazilian flag on them. If my sense of smell were working properly, I would already be trying these tobaccos, but my sense of smell is still out of service.View attachment 441529View attachment 441530View attachment 441531
Would love to try that. Brazil grows some good tobacco. If it's used right it's pretty great and unique. Most familiar in shmazlar snuffs from Germany. And also it's great to try something new.

I'm surprised it's not for sale in the US. Thanks for the information, my friend. It's encouraging that Brazil produces good tobacco.

I found it very strange that new tobacco is arriving, or opening up the market in Spain, when Europe negatively destroying and crushing this market. It is moving and exciting to see fresh tobacco in the tobacco shop again.

For some reason Brazilian tobacco and Indian from the Hindustan area aren't very talked about in America. Not sure why as both are unique and great in their own right. University Flake wouldn't be what it is without the Indian tobaccos (kind of like a cross of orientals and rustica) it gives that sandalwood and buttery quality to the flake. And a few famous blends from England use Brazilian tobacco in way that shows how great it can be.

I have, I don't know, 70 kilos of tobacco sitting in plastic boxes. If my wife finds out that I'm going to buy tobacco again, I think she'll cut my head off on a night of thunder and lightning. It's frustrating, because my sense of smell is also terrible. And I can't even test those Brazilian tobaccos and give you my impressions of this tobacco here on the forum.:poop:😬😵‍💫🥴
