Lol I did the same thing drezz. It's good to be prepared.
Well then. To business- I've tried several of these blends with perique in them (Warhorse, C&D Oriental Silk and McC St. James Woods.) My first foray with perique was C&D Bayou Morning, and the strength of the perique overwhelmed me so much I've avoided the leaf ever since. Happily, these 3 are pretty restrained with the perique, but it's still noticeable and adds a nice layer to each blend. While St. James is the only true VaPer of the 3, I've gotta say I've enjoyed each one very much and could see myself getting more of them.
In the queue is John Cottons No 1, Esoterica And So to Bed, and one of the C&D burley blends, either Burley Flake 3 or Pegasus.
:
A bunch of you folks have asked me if the John Cotton's blends will be available from someone who will ship to Canada. The answer is Yes. Both 4Noggins and Smokingpipes are carrying the blends. They are having some difficulties keeping them in stock right now, but they should both have sufficient stock by later next week.
Mm mm mmm. Pegasus would make for a mighty fine smoke right now. My office has a chill I just can't shake and Pegasus is the burley blend I currently reach for more than any other. I'm excited to try another Esoterica blend; Pembroke didn't quite float my boat, but Margate was so good I ordered a bag of it. And, of course, I feel like we are a lucky bunch to be able to try the John Cotton blends! I've been fighting back the TAD since our poor loony is a lame duck these days but I fear this may push me over the edge!
Indeed we are a lucky and blessed bunch to be able to try the new SToP blends.
Sadly my week with the box is drawing to a close. I haven't got around to many of the blends I really wanted to try, but that won't stop me from taking a pinch or two for later.
Fmgee, I can get the box packed up and sent when you say the word.

Yeah take samples, it seems the Canadian box thread grows more than what's taken. Don't be so typically Canadian eh? Bayou Morning has 25% perique so it's on the pretty strong end of the Vaper spectrum. St. James woods was my first Vaper, I didn't even know what a VaPer was at the time, but it quickly grew to one of my all time favorites.
The box has been sent. Tracking # 0104526000136143.
I snagged good size samples of 8 or 9 blends, That'll keep me occupied for a bit. :lol:
I added some McC Christmas Cheer 2015, plus Pegasus, Old Joe Krantz and Gawith Hoggarth Black Irish X Twist from shikano53. The twist is very tasty, and a little stronger than the SG Black xx rope. I liked it more than the xx rope and think it's worth a try if anyone wants some major vitamin n.
I'll try to chime in during the week with thoughts on what I'm smoking, I haven't had much time lately.
