Nice! Congratulations, Russ! Of course, this means that I'll never get any of his blend because I'd have to pay the RIDICULOUS 75% tax on his blends shipped from P&C... Do we know if the other contestants will be releasing their blends as well?
-Jason

 

[unclearthur]

Have it sent out of state and re-posted to you.

 

[lordnoble]

I've thought of that too, but that would almost be as bad... Having to pay shipping twice. I don't know. I'll figure a way to get some to try...
-Jason

 

[unclearthur]

HAve it sent to me and I will try it for you. :twisted:

 

[unclearthur]

OR! Spring for a 100 dollar order then you only pay shipping once.

 

[lordnoble]

That's not a bad idea.... Thanks!
-Jason

I've heard so much about the original Sobranie that I really hope to get to try Russ's. Way to go Russ, congrats!

 

[papipeguy]

Now the fun begins.

 

[krgulick]

Congrats to Russ. Hope it goes in production.

 

[unclearthur]

Jason , it's just my devious Irish mind at work!

 

[papipeguy]

Ah, great Irish minds; Yeats, Wilder and Arthur.

 

[mowens]

My TAD is kicking in, must obtain winning blend...

 

[brian64]

Congratulations Russ! Can't wait to try it...hope it doesn't take long to become available. :clap:

Russ says his winning blend will go into production. The other two will not.

 

[papipeguy]

We all await the announcement on this one. I'm sure there will be a rush for it. Tell Russ to make a couple of tons first.
