about as the same and different as one tin to another tin of the same. Basically if you like the tin you'll like it bulk just as much as you'd enjoy another tin of the other.
also I really think mountain camp is an under rated Scottish blend. Which is basically an English with perique and cavandish. Has kind of an extra velvety quality for an English and a little bit sweeter not candy sweet but a cube of sugar in coffee kind of extra sweetness.
Never Smoked any C&D tins but I've smoked pounds of the bulk stuff. HBS & OJK are delicious in bulk.
they're the same basically. Not missing anything. in general if anyone seeing one in a tin that is available in bulk just get the bulk.
Thank you very much! Will order some MC as per your recommendation. Thanks!
it doesn't get the love it deserves.
Neither does their Winchester, only sold in bulk. Now there’s a real, where have you been all my life sleeper. Red Virginia and Unsweetened Black Cavendish. Almost a cigar like creaminess and a mild sweetness. No gimmicks here, just a well blended tobacco with real flavor. — to the OP With regard to CD,please don’t consider packaging. The market dictates which blends will sell well in tins. But some of their best gems either haven’t had enough time to become popular or will remain a secret ?.
Haunted Bookshop & Pegasus taste like ? in bulk …I’d stay away. ?

I have six pounds of Pegasus in bulk cellared. I’m smoking through pound seven from the bag. It tastes the same as the first 2 ounce tin I purchased. — Actually, for convenience I keep refilling the Tin from the bulk pound.Haunted Bookshop & Pegasus taste like ? in bulk …I’d stay away. ?
Whether someone scoops the tobacco into a small can or into a 16 ounce bag it’s all the same stuff.
I ordered 4 oz of Winchester based on your posts recently. I'll probably not smoke it for a few months but I'll get to it eventually

Ummm...
Yes.

Take a tour of the CD factory online and watch the hand blending and packaging. You have vivid imaginations.
Or perhaps rather than spend $39 for 16 ounces, you prefer spending $11 for only 2 ounces?

Bulk or tinned are the same according to SP.Com however, I did enjoy HBS in the tin more than the bulk.
I'm a fan of C&D going back to their North Carolina days. I think their bulk is as good as the tins. I just received my first order of Mountain Camp. Old favorites include Bayou Night, Stratfordshire, Tuggle Hall, Billy Budd, Old Joe Krantz (Elderly Joseph), Dark Burley, Big'n'Burley, to name a few. C&D is to burley, IMHO, what McC used to be to Virginia, elevating it to a premium blend tobacco from a codger blend standard.
For full disclosure, I do notice that some members don't like any C&D blends.
Jeremy at SP has maintained the C&D brand and added to it, sustaining the great burley blends and adding some Virgnia based blends and others.

I agree with Mr. Grangerous: Pegasus is amazing in bulk, though I've never tried an actual tin of it for comparison. Now Haunted Bookshop I've stayed away from because it's nic-strength has been talked about. Pegasus is strong enough as it is, and I gather that HBS is stronger yet.Haunted Bookshop & Pegasus taste like ? in bulk …I’d stay away. ?
All this talk, I'm tempted to order up a couple ounces of Mountain Camp and Wincester.
You should agree with Grangerous cause he’s correct as much as it pains me to say. OK…C&D Bulk is awesome & economically beneficial. Fine…now go buy up all the HB, Pegasus, etc. I don’t care.?

personally I believe there is an improvement that happens when that much tobacco spends that much time together. Honestly I feel like the flavors get married a tiny touch more. I could be imagining things but the funny thing is with nasal snuff the difference is actually dramatic to the point of won't buy much that isn't available in bulk.
I never have an issue with the so called strong blends. The thing is you can always try them in a smaller chamber first.
I agree. I had never heard of Mountain Camp before, but it certainly had me intrigued
