    Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

    FYI, I had read on Reddit that the reason USPS was having issues with packages from Estervals was that Estervals had gone to new labeling system for DHL that was incorrectly formatting State, City and Zipcode. I see the address in the labels on my package are indeed formatted incorrectly. The...

    HU Krater-Plug, Extinct?

    I see if being offered at other vendors so it is still available. I did found it odd that Estervals totally removed it from their website.

    VaPer/Or Blend Recommendations?

    I would try Dockworker and Flanagan Flake. While Dockworker is burley based and Flanagan Kentucky/Virginia the oriental components are similar to the orientals in Ascanian no 2. They all have a Dan Tobacco signature oriental taste while being different. Docker worker is much sweeter and Flanagan...

    VaPer/Or Blend Recommendations?

    Actually you can order directly from Dan Tobacco and shipping starts at $32. They also sell all the HU blends they produce. Dockworker, Haymaker and Flanagan flake are must tries. https://www.danpipe.de/

    Warning Regarding Mylar Bag Storage

    If moisture is leaking out of the tin just leaving the tin outside will dry it out eventually. Rust can’t occur without oxygen so a sealed tin in a mylar bag with an oxygen absorbers would seem to be the best of both worlds.

    Warning Regarding Mylar Bag Storage

    Makes sense. Mylar bags are designed to be used with oxygen absorbers mostly. The humidity from the moist tobacco in the tins escaped and created humid conditions in the mylar bags that was conducive to rust. Throwing in an oxygen absorber would have prevented the issue. If humidity escaped...

    Ascanian No. 1 VS Ascanian No. 2

    It is scary Brobs knows what smoky pee tastes like! :ROFLMAO:

    Ascanian No. 1 VS Ascanian No. 2

    Yes that is correct, but I wonder is the 5% less perique in no 1 replaced with 5% more orientals? I guess I will order both to compare.

    Ascanian No. 1 VS Ascanian No. 2

    Which of the two do you prefer? Seems like the only difference between them is the amount of perique.

    Presbyterian Mixture - ?

    I enjoy it and smoke it regularly in large wide bowls. It is a fantastic blend when aged.

    Esterval's Current Lead Time?

    So the YouTuber beans316 who’s HU ordeal I was following got his package. After reaching his local PO in West Virginia and being returned, it went to NY and was then sent back to his local PO and delivered! He ordered in back in October! Unreal.

    4Noggins, The New Pipes & Cigars

    Exactly, 4noggins has always been garbage. Apart from that the vintage tin prices are highway robbery. I wouldn’t spend a penny there.

    Esterval's Current Lead Time?

    Did you get a reason from USPS on why it was sent back after reaching your local post office? That is what makes no sense to me, why do the packages get sent back from the local post office. The person I heard from, the same thing happened to him, it reached his local post office and was sent...
