I bought my first tin of BCDF from a member here for a VERY reasonable price (with a year or two's age on it) before i bought any sort of bulk of the stuff. I still don't think it's the cat's meow. It is a good blend for sure, but not worth all the hooplah. The five tins i bought a few months ago will last me ages, as i have not even put a dent in the first one. Maybe it will grow on me like stonehaven has, but until then i will just sit back and amuse myself at the mad scramble to attain this blend that is so coveted by many here and elsewhere.
Back to the point though, that is the beauty of being a part of such a wonderful online resource such as this forum. You can usually find someone who is willing to sell or give you a sample or tin of a tobacco you want to try. Bottom line, you guys are awesome and the generosity and comraderie on here is unmatched anywhere else. Cheers!
