    2016-2017 Box Pass Thread

    Just picked up the box today from the apartment offices. Holy Hell!! That is a lot of tobacco. Seeing the pictures really didn't prepare me for the massive amount of tobacco. I'll start sorting through and deciding what to try and what to add. In theory, there should be something that isn't...

    McClelland Memmories

    Christmas Cheer 2004 (smoked in'06) was the first tobacco to teach me the magic of a straight VA tobacco. I became enamored with their VA tobaccos after that.

    Who Holds The Record?

    Yeah, It's only a matter of time. Although I've never seen him restrain for this long

    20 Lbs, That's the Limit

    Interesting thought. McClellands made a couple of my favorites, although I notice that I didn't list any of their tobaccos in my post. My favored blends do change/rotate every 6-12 weeks though (which I think I've noted many times). I admit that I took them for granted, didn't reach for McC...

    C&D Engine 99.....Dried Out And Revisited

    I'll need to re-visit that blend sometime soon. I enjoyed all the stuff going on, but it never really pulled me in. The description really sounded like something I'd dig, it just didn't do it for me.

    R.I.P. Art Bell

    I always enjoyed listening to Art Bell. His replacement, George Nori (SP?) was okay, but Art's voice and cadence were always a pleasure to listen to, for me. Fun show. R.I.P.

    Esoterica Question

    Michael beat me to it. That's my best answer. Most of the time when I ask for Stonehaven at my local B&M, they look at me like I just farted on the Pope, but once in a while, I get, "Good timing, this is our last bag..." I'm not sure I really believe it's the last bag, but I don't really...

    Who Holds The Record?

    So... you're saying that's frowned upon? :oops:

    Who Holds The Record?

    In before the close. Better late than pregnant never. I've been silently following this thread, I thought the original question was very interesting and amusing. It did get weird for a while, then funny again. The personalities on this forum are great

    An Exceptional Ginger Ale

    I also grew up drinking Vernor's so the other major brands never tasted quite right to me. I do like many "Specialty" ginger ales though. I'll have to try Blenheim.

    Who Are Your Favorite Blenders/Tobacconists?

    To the OP: My favorite tobacco shop is the local Edward's here in Denver/Englewood. Just a great store store with great people. I've smoked many of the house blends over the years and enjoyed them a great deal, though none are really favorites. Greg is one of my all time favorites. When I...

    Forgotten Cellar Score of 11 Year Old VaPer!

    Nice! I recently went through a lot of mixed boxes of stuff and found quite a bit of tobacco myself. It's like a bonus Christmas. One of my best finds was 2 tins of Orlik DSK from around 2007 (rough approximation based on where I lived when I traded for them) I opened and jarred them last...

    Have You Ever Smoked Baked Biscuit?

    I agree. I would love to get my hands on some of those GH plugs not available here in the US. When I finally make it to England, I'll be bringing back a full suitcase of plugs!

    What Music Are You Listening To ( April, 2018)

    A little Chris Connelly. Haven't listened to his solo stuff for years. Stowaway

    Samuel Gawith Tobacco's

    Seems to go through phases of out of stock and available. Being a big fan of 1792, I've seen this on and off for years. Hopefully they'll come back. I have a couple pounds of 1792 put away, but don't want to believe it's the last. I'm a big fan of GH bulks also. I'm sure we'll see P&C and...

    Anyone Really Like Falcons? Or Hate ‘Em?

    I guess I'm in the camp of always liked the idea, but didn't really care for the look or feel. The smoke was fine, but I'll stick with regular briar, cob, or meer. I really wanted to like them...

    Pipe Cleaners & "Quality"....Who Cares?

    Me too, Harris. That's what I use most often at home. Although I have a couple packs of Dill's in the car.

    McClelland Aromatics

    I liked "Pastry" as a blender for GH ropes. Strength + great room note = YUM
