Unpacked. There is also the beeswax and extra bags and labels:
The bagged goods:
Thansk fmgee! Pacing myself may become an issue :D

Nice! That was super speedy - the lady at the post office quoted me 4 days and said it sometimes takes longer to get to Calgary than that for some reason. Enjoy it man, I'll let you be the guinea pig for the black twist before I try a bit of what I pinched :lol:
It's awesome to have been able to sample some blends I otherwise wouldn't have tried. I've been enjoying this.
I found out red VA is delicious and any issues I've had in the past were likely caused by me smoking like a dufus. :mrgreen:
Fmgee, I can mail the box your way Thursday.

Box is in the mail!
Tracking #: 159777104526
5 o'clock shadow tastes awesome and has some nic, and Red Ribbon is phenomenal (thanks drezz!). Those were my favorites. I also tried Constellation and 3 Nuns, and found 3 Nuns to be a solid VaBur with no surprises. I thought Constellation had some rough edges and I wasn't much of a fan after 1 bowl.
I scooped some Pirate Kake and Black Twist for later, along with a bit of Country Gent, Red Ribbon, 3 Nuns and 5 o'clock. There's plenty left. Oh and I took a tamper and 2 folding pipe stands. Both pipe stands jkrug made remain in the box because I have a couple empty spaces in my current stands.
To the box I added Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake, Fribourg and Treyer Wingate Mixture (English w/ a touch of perique), Peterson Wild Atlantic and Sir Walter Raleigh. Also I tossed in a wind cap.
Enjoy fmgee and thanks jkrug and drezz. :

Sorry fmgee. There were 2 series of numbers that looked like tracking numbers. Anywho...
I received the box 2 full days before the original delivery date so fingers crossed.

Drezz- :worship:
Lol. I think it was the first chance I had to smoke a single crop straight VA. Wow. While not an all day smoke it is simply delicious.

I have managed to sneak in a few small bowls over the last couple of days.
Peterson Wild Atlantic shares a lot with Old Dublin but is a much milder version.
Peterson St Patricks day 2015 tobacco is the first aro I have had in over a year. I know how to smoke a pipe now and this seems like pretty good quality tobacco. I could totally taste some of the flavours in there. The problem is it tastes like a mango lassi full of marshmallows. Okay for a sip but not something I'd order again.
Mm country gentleman: Has a musty sweetness with a nutty edge. I knew nothing about it when I was smoking it. I am amazed there are no orientals in this. Might have to have a second bowl.
Freybourgh & Taylor Wingate Mixture: This has a strong resemblance to Lane Limited Crown Achievement but with a little less tang in the orientals. The Perique seemed to loose a little edge in the lower part of the bowl.
Sir Walter Raeleagh: Why was I so excited to try this? I got shades of Carter Hall but with less topping, more of a bitter edge and perhaps more bite.I really need to give some more of these old time blends a go. I am wonder about Prince Albert now.
I'll get a few more bowls in this weekend and get the package together to send it off later next week. The box sure smells good sitting in the living room.

The box-note is awesome hey.
Good job on trying St. Patrick's Day. I was mighty tempted but wussed out at the last second. The tin note scared me away. :lol:
SWR is good once in a while. I'm keen to try some other codger blends one day, namely CH and PA.
