Cringle Flake and Rimbouche AB. The Rimbouche AB was really cheap so I don't feel it was a big risk. I'm waiting on the Cringle Flake to arrive, but From its profile and what many have said, I don't think I will be disappointed.

My wallet has kept me from ever trying this on unknown blends or even blends that I do like!
I do not have the kind of income to do this normally either. I recently developed a bit of a side hustle reselling things I find at thrift stores. I’ve had some good fortune coming across video game consoles and flipping those for a nice profit. Ha, I am balling on a budget but I make it work.

I buy penny-pinching a few baggies and tins at a time, literally, and I still accumulate more blends than I smoke. My idea of living large is buying a pound bag of Ohm or D&R every year or two. But I do admire the leap of faith, even when it turned out more like a part time job reselling it.

Same. I have so many jars downstairs with 1oz (minus 2 bowls) of different blends.

In the matter of tobacco my practice was to buy a lb before smoking it; buying it with abandon was the only way. It usually worked if only to fill more jars.

^I, too, find myself afflicted with this issue. It almost makes me stop buying tobacco. Almost.

I haven't done 25 tins of tobacco in a long time, let alone blind. I did 40 tins of OGS when it was a good price as before I had tried it. When Tsuge tobacco was phasing out, I got 25 tins of a couple of those blends blind, as well.

I did a couple of D&R buys that were 5 - 8 lb. because I had liked one sample I had tried of Rimboche AP. I bought all the other blends of theirs based on Jim's reviews.

Most I’ve ever bought untasted was 5 tins of cringle flake. I don’t have much money to drop on stuff I have no clue if I’ll like it or now.
