A tobacco order, advice/opinions

[iamn8]

I've been hovering over placing an order. For whatever the reason, call it an OCD type of expression, I like to order only one tobacco at a time. It could also be seen as focus. And yes I do understand that it's quite likely that I'll inevitably end up ordering all of these, but I'm stuck on which to order first, hence my hovering. The choices are Dunhill Navy, Magnum Opus, Reiner Gold, and Dunhill Elizabethan. This is an awfully random sort of request, but I need something to push me into this choice which has been a couple weeks in the making. I just can't seem to press the button. Ordering one or a couple of each isn't an option. Thanks!

Nate, Magnum Opus was one of the blends that we smoked in our Tobacco Crawl with Russ Oullette. I can tell you it was a huge hit and it is personally one of my top choice English style blends.

Magnus Opus is my vote as well... its up there with Black house as one of my favorites.

I have never heard of this Magnum Opus. I will have to add it to my next order.
My local shop carries the Blue Mountain, but not Black House. So I will have to order me some more Black House and jar up some Black & Blue mix. I'll toss in a tin of the Opus as well and see how it compares.

Are you looking to smoke immediately, or cellar? If cellar, get one of the Virginia forward ones and get it aging!

Awesome!! Thanks so much guys! Opus it is! Based on your recommendation I ordered well over a dozen tims. Last time I followed advice I ended up with around 20 tins of Exotique and haven't regretted it for a second. Thanks again!

I have always relied on my intuition to order tobaccos, not others, or reviews on TR. I think that is key because, most of the time I did listen to my intuition, I was not disappointed.
Screw off your head and listen to your gut, mate. That's the only suggestion I can make.

Pipe buddy, usually when I depend upon my intuition... well let's just say that I've been in jail a few times in my youth. Based upon Reaganesque philosophy, I trust my intuition but I also verify it

When you eventually decide to stock up on Reiner Gold you can save yourself a couple bucks per tin over at CupoJoes. Not sure why, but their price is considerably cheaper than the others. I added 10 tins to my cellar earlier in the month. Just a heads up.

Thanks for that Beezer!! I'll most definitely take advantage of that knowledge! Much appreciated!

LOL...All I can say is: that wasn't your intuition you were listening to, then. :wink:
