fnord,
Harris doing a mock mea culpa for buying/secreting/hoarding a favorite blend.
I was really being serious and not facetious, as I do feel badly for holding out. Ever since I joined this site, I have seen people talk about their favorites without thoughts of availability. I remember people talking about SG St James flake even though it is a bitch to get, FVF was also talked about. I would have never found out about these blends if it were not for the guys here so I do feel an obligation to talk about a favorite when I find one. I do understand when someone finds a favorite and then does not mention it until they have procured enough for themselves as it does make sense on many levels, but since I was turned on to some great blends because of the guys here, I did feel guilty holding out.
Allan, if you check the list of all of my flakes I sent you months ago, I think you will find the JA on it. When any of my friends that I talk to on a regular basis ask me for my list, the JA is on it. I have just not started a thread about it in over a year plus. When I first found the blend I did immediately start a thread extolling it's virtues but that was a long time ago and the availability was not an issue back then.
chris, PC has not got a shipment in since July and SP only gets maybe 40-50 tins at a time when they do get it. These are the only 2 vendors I have ever seen carry it. I have tried my normal route of calling small mom and pops like I do with Stonehaven but none have ever heard of this blend. It is the hardest blend to find by far because no one carries it and they hardly make any.
trout,
!! OFF WITH HIS HEAD !!!

Too funny, I actually have very large sensitive teeth.
peck, if I had not told you about this one, the entire world would be able to smoke it. Hoarding 300 tins of it has caused a world wide shortage, and you my friend are the reason this situation exists. I will give props to peck though as he did come clean with the Klondike Gold before he finished loading up on it. Who would have thunk it that an attorney would do a moral thing, probably because he is a corporate attorney and not an ambulance chasing personal injury type.

Harris, a very honest and sensitive response. I can practically hear the angelic cherubs playing violin in the background. Now, when will you be mailing our tins of JA out?

Huh, this explains why in the hell I can never find this blend in stock. I read that it was on your list. I have one tin of it, been saving it so I can get a few more tins for a fresh vs. aging comparison, been out of stock everywhere for months.
DAMN YOU HARRIS!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

Way to go Harris. Now you need a small jar of tobacco seeds. You know, for just in case. In my cellar I have 4 tins of baccy. 250 grams total. Before joining this forum I had Zero. I'm on my way. Look out Harris.

Harris, your confession begs the question, "What other blend(s) are you secretly hoarding that you have not sung the praises of yet?" What else should we know about?

peck, you are a very sick man. lol
trailboss, lol, I do call them my precious but go a step further by fondling my tins in a manner in which I cannot discuss in public.
davidintexas, there are no other blends that I have not shared with the community. If anyone looks at my posts in the what are you smoking thread, you can see what I smoke on a regular basis. I even listed the JA every time I smoked it.
