Thank you for your assistance, danimalia! I find myself at Myrtle Beach from time to time but not very frequently. I’ll have to look for something closer to my area, though I definitely will be looking to visit that store sometime in the future!

What is this mysterious ailment you speak of? I would hook up a latakia IV if such a thing were possible
I agree. I wish they made it into a cologne. I keep a bag of Latakia in my desk drawer just to keep the smell around.

Glad you liked the SPC PPRR! PP/PPR is one of my favorite blends of all time. It is the shiznito shizbam bizzomb dizzigity. I cellared deep (for me this means 8oz, haha) after my first bowl.
Hauntedmyst, have you tried this:
Take this man's advice on smokeless. I tried General Snus for the first time on his recommendation and it is awesome.

Did you try the portions or the loose?
Just the original and white portions so far. I love that bergamot flavor and the nic-hit is ideal for me. I know you had mentioned the loose, but I'm paranoid about carcinogens and already have periodontal issues so the portions were more appealing. I've been using their Zyn products as well, non-tobacco nicotine lip pouches. They pretty much taste like gum, but those suckers hit hard! Way more of a nic-hit than gum or a vape or anything like that. Would be great (and legal) for airplanes.
Although my tolerance for nicotine is pretty low, especially ingested orally. Real dip has always made me puke, and I've never been more than a 2 or 3 times/week smoker.

Not likely. I've had this PICC line installed for daily administration of IV antibiotics for 5 weeks now and I still haven't figured out how to get tobacco through it... :cry:

When I first tried OGS, I got little from it. I had to further develop my drying, packing and smoking cadence before I could really appreciate it. That said, it still is not high on my list, although most others disagree with me. I find it good, but not great.
The moral of the story is don't be disappointed if it yields little flavor at first. You may need to fine tune some aspect of your process to maximize your enjoyment.

Precautionary measure after a nasty bone infection. Seems bones are less willing to comply than soft tissues.

Indeed I did! Unfortunately, I cellared the vast majority of each blend and refuse to crack the jars open. Perhaps I should have left more of each out to smoke...Oh well! I’ve just received just shy of two pounds. That consisted of Haunted Bookshop and Carter Hall, but also a small tin of Escudo Navy De Luxe. I kept a significant amount of the each out for smoking, but I’m going to allow the majority to age (if burleys age?).
