Anyone Getting Macbaren Burley London Blend?

[Casual]

To my palate, this is the chocolatiest of the Mac Baren burleys. I like it! It’s like a little fancier version of some codger burleys.

Actually it sold out in hours last year. I have a bunch left but it is a great smoke. Highly recommended.
Looks like it will be one of SP’s Limited Edition Annual Releases.

I have a gracious plenty of blends, but this does sound good to my burley tastes. If it were going to be around longterm, I'd put it on the list.

Just ordered my 10 tins. I’ll never have to order more...

I picked up 5 tins last time, and I'm not even halfway through 1 tin. It's great stuff, but not a desert island smoke for me. More for everyone else.

How do the limited runs compare to the original?

I have one stored tin from 2012 that I’m saving for an asteroid on its way to destroy the earth.

I missed the last limited run. Anyone? I’ve always wondered how they can stop and restart production and maintain the elements of the original years later.

I like the old Classy Plain White Tins.

Golden Extra
Harmony/Symphony imho are not substitutes for BLB. I have all presently and a smal bit of the old BLB jarred. These blends are all significantly unique.

I got 20 last year, smoked several tins. I smoked the original, was qute fond of it, but got caught with zero when it was discontinued. IMHO, they nailed it. I have no idea whattthe status of this will be after 8/8/21, so I ordered 10 more of this years version.

Thanks. From one old geezer to another! Before granger gripped me I was a huge fan of MacBaren Burley. Norwood held my top spot followed by BLB Golden Extra and Symphony.

Same here. The added bonus of bulk price with no jars needed was attractive too.

I ordered three, sure hope I like it. Sometimes, I just can keep myself from buying a new/limited release. Even though the reviews seem to fit my palate, it is still dumb.

I resisted last years release, but this year they got me. I was there stocking up on OGS and the banner just magnetically sucked my mouse over there. I had an order number before I even realized what was happening. I think I have DTPD (Dissociative Tobacco Purchasing Disorder).

I seem to be so disciplined, and then all of the sudden some times I just black out and the damn mailbox is full of tins. Someone please explain to my wife that this is a disease and it's not my fault.

It subsides. I've been down to only smoking and buying one blend for the past couple of months.

Don’t answer him! Put up a poll and let us all guess.

I don't do polls. Quite useless in a forum.

Never post favorites if you want them to stay in stock.

Quite likely Penzance.

Gave all of that away a couple of years ago. Did get some Murray's Three Year Matured for a bag though.

Pass. I got 2 unopened tons from the last run. Going to let them sit a few years.

I always liked buying tobacco by the ton. Saves on shipping.?

I've never posted it and now when someone follows me they get ignored and they get no updates of my postings.
