Do We Have The Power?

[jpmcwjr]

OK, I'll stop bitching and moaning and step up a bit, 10 tins of Escudo is what I'd buy, along with 5 tins of whatever VA flake gets the nod.
Nailing to the wall: You might have better luck with vanilla pudding, but the trick is to "age" it until it hardens into a small puck, a month or two with home-made; a year or two with factory preservatives. Then get out the hammer n nails.....

Ok we have a winner, jpmcwjr understood what is needed for this to happen, well done.

Thanks for the tip about the jello, can't wait to try your way.

I did pick a damn flake -- let's call it Irish Flake.
Now how do I get 400 lbs of it at a discount?

 

[cigrmaster]

We have another winner, Death has chose and wants 400 lbs. So far it looks like Irish Flake is the leader.

Umm, Wessex Gold Brick, or I'd concider whatever the concensus says. Ammount os going to depend on the price break. But in a straw poll, I'd be good for about 10+ bricks.

Ten better :nana:

10 tins of Escudo for me...

 

[mcitinner1]

Let's hear some thoughts about rectangular tins for the long haul. I've had two failed seals with them, and have all but quit buying them. I know they "usually" last years, but one or two failures is all it took for me. It really doesn't make sense to pay for tins and then jar up the contents. Can we stick with round tins? :clap:

 

[sallow]

It would be nice to get Capstan blue flake for a regular tin price, and not pay a 50% premium.

 

[jefff]

I suppose I would be in for the Escudo. I have not smoked a recent iteration of it but I used to love it. I'd be willing to cellar some on a bet that it will age well.

 

[derfargin]

Round tins fail as well. I've had a few, but that doesn't keep me from buying more.

 

[mcitinner1]

I've never had a seal on a round tin fail, not to say it can't happen.

smokingpipes.com already has a 10% discount if you buy 25+ tins, but you would have to order it to one person. Alot of places also offer discounts at the 5 pound mark for bulk

4nogginsmike had also contacted C&D and they were willing to make chenets cake available in bulk for custom orders, but it was for a certain amount, so they would probably do it for other tobacco too.

At a certain point it doesn't make business sense to unload a bunch of tobacco for a big discount.

Reading this thread has been like watching that video lol. I'm interested depending on the blend and the discount. I vote for Irish Flake.

 

[cigrmaster]

brian, glad I could entertain you. Another vote for Irish Flake.

Stop trying to make sense, Andy. I already attempted it and was ignored. Interesting to watch though, and hope you guys can pull it off.

^^^ Pretty much

I'm in for 5 pound plugs. Just because I want to see someone start the following thread: "How do I Jar a Five Pound Plug For Aging if I Don't Want to Break it Into Smaller Pieces?"
