Built Myself A Druquer & Sons Sampler

[shanez]

While everyone was distracted by a werewolf I took advantage of SP's sale and ordered 2 each of 100g tins:

Blairgowrie
Inns of Court
Prince's Blend

Also picked up a new 8 Deco tamper and a replacement valve cap for my Corona Old Boy.

I've never tried any of their blends so I'm looking forward to these.

Not that I didn't get a pound of the werewolf.

I had several of these that were from the original store. I didn't get to try them as the value of them got so high I had to sell.

There were many times I would have liked to purchase a "sampler" of all the new Drucquer blends, but as the smallest of the tins is 100 grams I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

On sale they're about $18/tin. That's $9/tin of the normal 50g tin. Or about $4.50/oz. Not bad for current/modern rates. Even some bulks are more than that. $2.50/oz would be nice but those days are long gone. In a few more years it'll be worse so I look at it as now or never.

And, as kc pointed out, I may be able to sell them in the future I want to.

I see latakia in every one of them. Pass

I remember kind of enjoying prince's blend. It was sweet with only a small does of Latakia. My buddy gave me hell about the name on a fishing trip once. He would call it princesses blend and now that is what I think of every time I hear the name.

I'm a fan of Inns of Court but haven't gotten around to the others yet.

I have 1600 gr of various D&S blends that have yet to make it into rotation.
