This is somewhat off-topic, but I can’t help but wonder if the choice of tin art was inspired by looking down at a plug and seeing all those different shapes and colors of leaf bits pressed together… anyone else thinking that?
None ….yet. I’m waiting for sale so I can stock on on some other pease blends and then snag a tin to try. It’s not a limited edition plug so I’m not in a hurry.
Was waiting to order a couple of bulk blends and pipe cleaners, so I took the opportunity to toss in 2 tins of Geometrie to get free shipping.
Can’t hurt.

Completely self-imposed!
My wife and I are saving up spending money for an upcoming return visit to London at the end of May. And depending on longevity, I may already have enough tobacco cellared for the rest of my life.
I had an Easter Surprise this morning.
My order of 2 tins of Géométrie, 2 tins of Windjammer and 1 tin of Repose was actually delivered to my door this morning.

Mine is out for delivery!!!
Couldn't wait and cracked one open after it arrived yesterday.
I cut some into flakes and fire it up, even though I normally let new tins sit for a while.
Man, got to say I was VERY impressed. I'm going to order some more to make sure I get some from the same pressing.
Have you tried yours yet @cosmicfolklore ?

I just pulled mine off the front porch this morning, no idea when it got here. I was running late for some appts. I will get a chance this evening. But, it sounds like a winner.
I've had a couple bowls of it.
I wrote this mini-review in the WAYS thread,
"My second bowl of this new plug. Having a similar experience to the first.
Sliced off a thick flake and then used scissors to snip very thin "cubes".
Charring light and first couple minutes have been VERY bitey to me. Like OUCH WTF! It quickly calms down and develops a heavy oriental flavor with Virginia undertones.
If you dig the sweet and sour, tangy, herbaceous and floral type flavors from oriental varietals, you can get lost in this one.
It's not until the halfway point or later that I get any strong red Virginia notes."
Even through the final puffs of the bowl, the Basma and Izmir flavors persist.

You're not on a Mac, I take it. For those who are, ācčèñts are easy. You type Géométrie, but hold the 'e' letter a moment and then can choose among the most used accents, non?
My package was at my post office this morning, but for some reason it was sent about 2 hours east of where I live. It is now at the distribution center the next town over from me, so hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.
