    SP forced priority shipping?

    Oregon. I was given three options too but only the priority would work

    SP forced priority shipping?

    Ordered a tin of each of the C&D release today and the site wouldn’t let me select anything but priority shipping. Did anyone else experience this? Is this normal? I don’t order enough from them to know. Thanks for any answers.

    Review of GH Coniston Cut Plug – A Tale of Betrayal

    Almost wasn't mentioned at all till the end. But Whenry I just simply enjoyed how you wrote up the whole review. Maybe not the most functional or practical but I would enjoy immensely reading your reviews if they always came with such a story. Cheers!

    Country Squire Dark Holler 2025

    I thought it had a great bag note. And the topping lasted me most of the bowl. Looking forward to a couple more bowls

    Country Squire Dark Holler 2025

    Got it and smoking it right now. Yummy. More aromatic than I was expecting. Reminds me of a house blend that was my favorite and discontinued because of McCellands closing called Brigadoon. Wish I could have bought more.

    Ennerdale Flake

    Love Ennerdale. Bought a tin of 1792 thinking it was more of the same. Nope. Still investigating whether I like it or not. Kicked me in the butt one night with the Nic hit. Will have to try the Bosun sometime

    How Many Open Blends?

    easily over 70. I don't sweat anything diminishing. I haven't had any problems with moisture loss or flavor weakening in jars. Sure there are plenty I have to jar up but I don't want to wait 3 years before finally being able to enjoy what I just bought. Variety is the spice of life. Love...

    Oldest Smoked Tobacco...

    Hello there, I was thinking about this the other day about how many of us don't have some of the famous old stuff and probably never will own it. So in the spirit of living vicariously though the smoking descriptions of others I wondered if some of you would share what you have smoked recently...

    Hello all, I recently tried stoving a couple of tobaccos I owned that I thought were a bit one dimensional. A. Capstan Blue. B. Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake C. Peter Stokkebye Luxury Flake. I followed a recipe from a YouTube smoker suggesting the "four 2's". 200 degrees in the...

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    Forgive me if this has already been asked here. Just curious since you're running through the G&H line up any one here know which of their blends is the strongest with the Lakeland essence. I gave Ennerdale a try and loved it and was curious if I would like the essence even stronger. Thanks...
