Good morning gentlemen

Last weekend I’ve sampled few blends and will continue this weekend

Esoterica Margate - To my own surprise I didn’t like it, at all. It felt too heavy and overbearing.

Esoterica And So To Bad – While I wish it had a bit more of a nicotine, that one was an absolute winner for me. Smooth, creamy. I tried it accompanied by a cup of jasmine tea and I wish that could be my breakfast couple times per week.

Balkan beauty – I expected a lot from this blend. Unfortunately in my opinion it’s just another Balkan. Nothing stood out for me. Doesn’t come close to White Knight.

Odyssey – I don’t have much experience with G.L. Pease blends. Previously I only tried Abingdon. I had a bit of it left and I compared those side by side. Not much of a difference. Odyssey was more rounded and pleasant smoke. I could see it in my rotation, but I’ll be honest – I think there are better blends in this price category.

Glad you are getting a chance to work your way through the box! I smoked a pipe for the first time in probably about 2 months now that the fall weather has come again! Too much to keep up with over the summer but it's hard to resist with this weather.

:ahem:?

I still have the box. I've PM'd and emailed jkrug few times, but he is silent. I hope he is ok.

 

[fmgee]

He has been and probably still is very busy with work.
Did you find any winners in the box? or losers for that matter

 

[ben88]

I tried a few, can't remember which ones right now. looking at the previous post 2 months ago

Should we wait for jkrug? I know he was next in line

I am guessing that if he is too busy to reply to emails he is probably ok with being skipped in the line up, might be good to get it moving again before christmas crazy hits the postal service!

Hey guys, I just queued up with Jkrug. Nice to see the Canadians helping each other out. Any blends that are standouts that you will be ordering more of or already have?

 

[jkrug]

Hey guys...hope everyone is doing well!!

I must apologize once again for not being around here on the forum much.

All is well I have just been crazy busy at work for some time now.

I still manage to sneak in a bowl or two every now and then which is good.

I've lost track of where the box is supposed to go next...if it's me I'm ready to receive...fire when ready.
josephcross has contacted me to join the pass so I will update the list and send it out later tonight. Welcome to the pass Chris.

I think I still need to add ben88 to the official list as well.

 

[ben88]

jkrug, the box been sitting in my garage for a couple of months. I believe you are next in line. PM me with your address and I'll get it out to you. Unfortunately it would have to be only next week.

 

[jkrug]

Hey guys, I just sent out an updated address list by email.

If for some reason you don't receive it let me know.
Leon my address will be on the list so send the box out whenever you are ready. Thanks

I'm looking forward to snooping around in there and seeing what kind of goodies the box holds. :D

 

[jkrug]

Guys I sent out the box pass address list again.

There was an address change and I messed up an email addy too.

Should be good now.
Also, fmgee is going to sit this round out.
Cheers, Jim

 

[drezz01]

Looking forward to it! I will be adding another lesser esoterica, Kingsbridge. We will be getting pretty close to having their whole product catalog represented!

 

[josephcross]

Just checking in, looking forward to seeing whats in the box, and if there is anything in my collection that can help round it out.

 

[mortonbriar]

Merry Christmas eh!

Is this thing moving again? if anyone has a few pinches of vincent manil semois, or condor those are two I have been curious about for a long time. I just cracked open a tin of spectre which I will put aside a bag of now so as not to run out before the box comes back round!

[ben88]

Hi guys. I, finally have next week free(it was crazy at work for the last month and a half) and I will ship out the box on 27-28. I just need to know where I'm sending it.

 

[josephcross]

Merry christmas guys! Hope everyone had a good one!

 

[andrew]

Ben88 it looks pretty clear Jkrug has been waiting a month now. Do you not have his address?

 

[ben88]

I must've missed his emails. (((

PM'd him.
