Blind GH & Co. Bulk Buys... Good, Or Nah?

[mtwaller]

I’ve blindly ordered 8 - 10 bulk amounts of GH & Co. in the past and haven’t been disappointed, so I thought I’d spin the wheel of fate once more...

8 oz. each of Cherry Cream Flake and Grasmere Flake are on their way. Any positive or negative experiences?

Is that 8oz of each blind? I generally like their stuff but I’d want to try 1oz of each first before I dove in.

8 oz of each. I usually like to try before I buy, but with these scarcer blends I just go for it. Worst case, I’ll sell the jars for a wash here on the forum in a year or two if I don’t like it!

I thought the Cherry Cream Flake was pretty good and the cherry flavor paired well with the tobacco. The tobacco taste still came through, with a little bit of floral offering, but little compared to many of their other blends. The Grasmere I can't remember much other than I liked it ok, but need to revisit it. It would take me quite a while to smoke 8 oz of it but all in all I think you won't regret it, especially as you say someone will want some aged GH somewhere down the road should you decide to get rid of it.

I've blindly bought pounds with no disappointment including the banAna.

Grasmere is good. It is a mild Lakeland.

Grasmere is very floral in a natural way, like smelling a flower. I like it very much, but I can see how some wouldn’t. I don’t have any experience with the cherry, but I have been considering getting some for a while.

I bought 6 oz each of the Cherry Cream Flake, Rum Flake, and Brown Licorice Flake this summer. Didn't try any of them before buying, but loved each of them. The Cherry Cream flake was to me the best, subtle cherry mixed with excellent Va's and a dash of the Lakeland essence hanging around in the background. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the GH bulk buys.

Pray tell exactly where did you purchase an 8 oz bag of Grasmere?

I personally love Grasmere. If you like G&H, it’s an excellent blend.

Good question. Certain people LOVE this stuff! Now, where do you live...?

I bought four pounds of it last April at Tobacco Pipes during one of their site wide sales. ?

Probably a bulk order.

I love Rum Flake! This thread has me even more encouraged to get some Cherry to try now.

I got it bulk from Mars Cigars. As of yesterday the Cherry Cream was sold out. Grasmere might still be available, I haven’t checked!
