This was a hard one, as I love many of their blends. I finally decided on;
Autumn Evening (my every morning smoke)
Old Joe Krantz (must have go-to)
Pegasus (new to me one to try)
Big N' Burley
Epiphany
That should keep me going a while. I was a bit bummed that Pirate Kake was not in stock.

Ordered a pound each of Pegasus and Oriental Silk. Today is payday, so will probably be getting four more pounds before the weekend, just haven't decided what I am getting yet. Also got a sample of Crooner to give a deer tongue blend a try.
Yeah, no kidding. I ordered a few bricks of PK back in 2010 for just under $30. My how times have changed! Wish they offered Black Frigate in the pound brick.
I ordered:
8 oz Haunted Bookshop
8 oz Morley's Best
16 oz Bayou Morning
32 oz Star of the East
32 oz Mountain Camp
16 oz Virginia Gentleman
32 oz Billy Budd
32 oz Habana Daydream
Somehow I feel I need to order more.
Cellar is looking good these days. I did a couple bulk orders in past couple months when there were deals going on. I actually ran out of mason jars and had to wait to jar it up.

I was going to get some Orion's Arrow, but opted for tin of something I haven't tried yet instead.
Orion's Arrow is almost like an OTC blend, not heavy on flavour but very easy going. It has lots of Virginia and Perique so it should age well, and I would love to try throwing some Latakia in the mix and see how it turns out as a light English blend.
Dang it, now I want to try Carter Hall with Latakia.

I received my order yesterday on the below blends (all 4 oz). I was a whee bit disappointed at the consistency of most of the blends received as the majority did not appear to have been cut/blended together well. Several of the blends reminded me of bagged mulch with quite a bit of clumpiness present. I'd be interested to know if others experienced the same.

SOTE exclusively.
The rest of my TAD goes to DH Nightcap, Balkan Sasieni and a few specialty blends.

I would buy bulk 5 O'Clock Shadow. I may buy a pound of another C&D blend before the month is over.
In my view, this indicates a good natural blend comprised of tobaccos of mixed cut or moisture level. For example, mix Perique with Burley and you will get a slight clumping effect. As far as the mulchiness... it is what naturals smokers live for, I think. We're all latent gardeners.
