I am making a serious offer to help you out. I've done similar befoer even for international guys. And besides I have 1970's, 1980's and the current Balkan Sobranie on hand so I don't need to steal any of yours.

Yes I have a sense of humor hence the Balkan Sobranie comment, I wasn't sure if you wanted stuff shipped to you ae1pt or what. I think the WA laws are unamerican and am up for doing what I can to ease the oppression off of the backs of our western brothers.
Shaintiques, I appreciate the offer. I have a friend of my brothers in Portland I can ship to. I just need to ask.
Between the 95% (on MSRP) tobacco tax and the shipping idiocy, Washington is straight crap. If it weren't for our amazing sports teams and my gorgeous bride, I would write this whole damn state off.

1Q! Amazed that was your first choice. Don't get me wrong it is a good tobacco and the best seller in the U S I believe but I think I have smoked my last bowl of it. Glad to see you diving right in though.
Patrick, thanks for the illuminating verbosity. Much appreciated. I don't like it when the box goes quiet, I like to know what folks are enjoying (or not). Feel free to empty any bags with only a bowl or so left. Although the mylar ESD bags are a great improvement over standard food baggies, the ziploc seals are not always airtight, and small amounts of baccy will still dry out sometimes. So kill them before they die.
Ok Patrick, I have a little less than an ounce of 1-Q in my stock, and your experience alone is prompting me to dig it out, and see what I missed with the first few bowls I smoked.
Well the Revelation is all rehydrated and just in time. I was asked by a friend to sell a big lot of tins he inherited due to a broken pipe situation, but in the lot was an 8oz bag of Esoterica Pembroke that had been opened and dried out so I am rehydrating it and will put a sample of this in the box. The bag was dated 1999.
No none have been pulled yet. I kept back a few tins from the lot for myself and am just paying him outright for them. Also I won't just be added reydrated stuff to the box. I have got a pretty big selection of fine tobaccos to choose from.
So I'm rehydrating the Pembroke and I have to say that the room note is similar to the entrails of a freshly gutted deer. That being said many foul smelling tobaccos taste wonderful so perhaps this will be one of those. I will have to out a big sample in the box so you guys can decide.
You will find a few interesting things in the 'Box Pass' other than the obligatory Condor plug and packet of ready rubbed that I gave Dan when he was last visiting me in NY as I thought everyone could with a few interesting things from Europe.
