    Aged Blends and The Oldest You've Had

    I have a few blends that are 15-20 years old. Rattray's accountants mixture, F&T Cut VA plug to name a couple. I also have a jar of Velvet from the 60's but I've yet to try re hydrating it or trying it. I'm not sure it will bounce back to it's potential as it was rather dry when it came into my...

    Today Started Good....Then Got Laid Off.

    I know what you've dealt with, I spent 8 years at one of the country's largest newspaper companies. It shrunk and shrunk over the years and we always looked over our shoulders.

I do enjoy review posts here and the repair forum is excellent for digging through old threads for tips. In the various...

    Strong Ammonia Smell

    This is quite common in nasal snuff as well. A little airing out until the aroma dies down is enough in my opinion.

    My first taste of SPC Plum Pudding is loaded in a refurbed Tinder Box St Ives bulldog. Excited to try this.

    Support for C&D

    I wouldn't be so quick to write off a company for a small issue they're correcting. Especially considering it's an organic product. Things happen and it's being addressed.

    Recommend an 'incense' blend...

    I've gotten those notes mostly from Balkan blends. Samovar, Abingdon, and Byzantium come to mind. It can be elusive though, only to show itself sometimes with no guaranteed consistency. Normally I see the incense descriptor attributed to Lat blends even though Orientals are definitely part of...

    2016-2017 Box Pass Thread

    Thanks Bryguy, I trust Amazon much more than ebay. Happy this was suggested too as I hate the aroma bleed when using normal ziplocks when shipping samples.

    2016-2017 Box Pass Thread

    Is it too late for me to pop in? I've been doing a pipe tobacco lotto on another site for a couple years, never did a box pass before.

    Smyrna has a distinct holiday spice aroma to it in my opinion, very unique.

    @irishearl, if you want, I'd be happy to send a sample your way.

    C&D Byzantium-opinions?

    I haven't tried RO yet but absolutely love Byzantium. Oriental forward medium strength and smoky. Burns great and is pretty easy on my mouth. Some blends with a higher amount of lat and oriental can tire my palette quickly and this does not.
