Anyone else want to compete to be the last one to send a package?
We don't want the thread to die young.
I did get my match; eventually got the forum name, searched all his posts, very few clues.
Perfect, he gets everything I didn't like.........................
I promise they were perfectly stored before ending up in that little sandwich bag.

My tobacco preferences—
No Latakia, no aromatics, no burley dominant blends.

I smoke predominantly Virginia based blends (red, brown, stoved [heavily stoved]), though I tend to avoid those that are majority bright Virginia.
I do love orientals (just no Latakia).
Perique is totally fine, but I tend to avoid “perique bonbs”.
I like flakes, plugs & cakes, ribbons, shags, broken flakes… I smoke all the cuts.

If my WAYS posts are researched, you’ll see a LOT of C&D Steamworks (as that is my daily morning smoke), and a lot of McClelland.
I certainly don’t expect to be gifted any McC blends, but that’s a legit indicator of my tastes.
Honestly, within my parameters, I’ll be happy with a wide variety of possibilities.

Easy, right?!

My prefs:
No goopy aros

After that, I’m open to trying anything.
No need for anything vintage or rare. I’ve stopped buying tobacco, so maybe something that came out in the last year or two that you like.

Some Breasts to all of you!
My wife just gave me a sideways glance!

Never mind - I'm planning holiday meals - it was the look that said, "some breads?" Artisan yet rustic - still checking that same box. :)
