    Are any retailers online, still selling the Macbaren Capstan?

    Not sure if you're still looking but there's currently a 5pack of Mac Baren made Capstan Blue on tinbids and the current bidding is less than retail of the STG made.

    Travel to Mexico City / Smoking Laws

    I had no idea and we just booked a trip to Cabo. It looks like it's no joke, either as they like to enforce it with fines. Cartels? No Problema. Smoking? Pay up sucker.

    I got an email with another restock just made available. Trying a tin each of what's available. Nepenthe wasn't one of them, along with a few others...

    Bravo to them! It takes a high minded person to put their differences aside in a moment like this.

    Penzance look/feel

    It's been forever since I've been able to buy a tin, but the first thing I noticed is that it's mostly loose with crumbled flakes. When did it stop coming in layered flakes?

    What are You Watching? [2025] Please Rate 1-5

    Solid 5.0. I watch a lot of movies; many of which are decent. This is the best movie I've see in a while though. It holds up very well considering the age. I've known of the movie and book in forever, but this was my first viewing.

    Your best packing tobacco

    A fine shag cut works best, or easiest, for me. I've got some (current production) Balkan Sobranie open right now, and that is about as goof-proof a cut as it gets for me. For blends much coarser cut than that, like flakes or coins, I typically put in a hand "spice" grinder for a few twists.
