Hey Mark, I've seen some reviews where guys have complained about an almost berry like topping. Do you notice any of that after 4 years of aging ?
Not even like that new, its flavored with honey.
Probably like me. Once you hit over 400 pounds, more just seems redundant.
You should specify it's tobacco you're talking about there. Your Secret Santa might get the wrong idea and send you a Thighmaster by Express Mail...
Not even a hint I can detect.They must have been drinking koolaid.
That would be an issue if I did the secret Santa but my cellar weight is 3.6 times my body weight.You should specify it's tobacco you're talking about there. Your Secret Santa might get the wrong idea and send you a Thighmaster by Express Mail...
Just cracked a 2012 jar about a week ago - I’ve got two pounds of that vintage cellared. It bit the living daylights out of me… I don’t recall it doing this fresh - at least not to this extent? The business card sized flakes are in perfect condition, still smell just like Golden Grahams and the flavor profile is surprisingly similar to what I recall fresh tasting like. But the bite?! Def disappointed and a bit baffled. Just to put it in perspective, had a bowl of MacBaren VA No.1 the next morning and that classic biter was sublime - like it usually is for me. I certainly expected almost a decade of sleep to do wonderful things for No.400, but that is not the current reality for me…

If you want to trade for our so the rest of the two pounds, let me know.Just cracked a 2012 jar about a week ago - I’ve got two pounds of that vintage cellared. It bit the living daylights out of me…
Just jarred a few ounces and put it away for a nap. I may not make it to four years though!
@hoosierpipeguy @eljimmy & @AlanH I'm out of town most of the week, but may PM you all later in the week and see if we can find a win/win. Thanks! - Stogie
Much appreciated but @hoosierpipeguy has first dibs on the whole thing to me. He beat me to it. Hahahaha!
Looking forward to hearing from you. If you're okay making some extra shipments, happy to share with a couple of other members.
it's a great blend wish it was available in bulk
