First International Order

[irwinmetro]

Just placed my first international (Canada-USA) order at 4noggins. And a little text at the bottom of the page tells me they're on vacation until the 19th! You ruthless tobacco pirates must have worn the poor fellow out, and now I must wait an additional 4 days on top of shipping.
I picked up a pouch of 5 Brothers to investigate a nicotine heavy blend and 2 oz. of J.F. Germaine Royal Jersey w/ Perique. I haven't had a blend with Perique before so I'm especially excited to give it a go. Does anyone have an liner notes regarding either of these tobaccos?

Here's my review of Royal Jersey w/Perique.

I've tried 5 Brothers, a plain shag Burley. The nicotine kicked my butt. Not the smoothest smoke either, IMO.

As Rooster Cogburn would say: "Gen-U-Wine double-rectified bust-head."
For delicious Perique blends, on your next order from 4noggins try Weybridge and Prairie Wind.

That's an excellent review Cortez, definitely adds to the anticipation. I'm thinking the 5 Brothers may make a nice addition to some lighter nic blends when in the mood. I'll definitely have to try a full bowl to start though.
That review site is excellent, I'll have a good look before my next purchase.

Irwin, I smoked the Jersey a long time ago and while it was a good smoke, it was not as tasty as Escudo which is one of my favorite Vapers. Another vaper you might want to try is Solani 633, also grab a tin of Solani Silver Flake, that is another great blend.

Thanks for the suggestions, Harris. I've begun a list of blends to delve into and added these to them.

What did you end up ordering from 4Noggins? I'm SW of Red Deer, so mail order from them exclusively.
