    You Asked for It, You Got it! No More Member Welcome Category

    Whatever works. I won’t miss it but I did think it was nice for the newbs. On a side note- without welcome threads it will be a lot more difficult to pad your post count on the way to lifer status or the 5000 club.

    My Return

    Welcome back! Sounds like you’ve had a pretty shiitty time of it while absent from the PM forums. Glad to hear you are ok. It also sounds like maybe you were lucky and it could have been a lot worse. Inattentive drivers suck.

    Hay Walmart! Say It Ain't So!

    Underrated Blends

    G. L. PeaseLaurel Heights Not sure if it’s underrated but it doesn’t get a lot of mentions here and it is a tremendous Va/Lat blend. I’m not a super taster so I really like the fact that I taste a bit of grapefruit once in a while as described on the tin notes- I know some folks don’t.

    Underrated Blends
