Not yet. I've chosen non-latakia blends which have the biggest number of reviews on tobaccoreviews, Haymaker has only 8 but I'll have that in mind for the next order.
Will this tasting start with the airing of grievances and fits of strength?
Five ounces each of Watch City 4Q and Spill'sbane. Also, a two ounce tin of 2008 WC Deep Elem.
You're off to a good start. I like every one of those although I believe you can find better Red Va than My Red Fox. Haymaker is my favorite Va Flake among HU offerings. A little more flavor and body than Sunset. If you like Flanagan and VaOr in general, I'd highly recommend Joschi's Oriental Sunset and Soraya. Nyala is the best cigar leaf based blend period for me. Makhuwa is another must try. Manyara is a sweet, spicy blend that has a condimental amount of Latakia in it, one of my favorites. I barely notice the Latakia.
Ho ho ho. Merry Christmas to me.

I knew I should have ordered the Krater plug.
I have a friend who hates the Elwood. I'd like to hear what you think of it when you try it. I'm curious about it.
Jim I'd be happy to bust you off 50g of the Krater and Elwood for the Holiday's. They're somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean. Hope it arrives by New Years.
Thank you, man. That's very cool of you. Hope it gets here before the end of the year, too. Waiting for packages is always what we do!!!!
It's the least I can do. You've saved me hundreds and hundreds in tobacco buying "mistakes" over the years.
WWJD = What Would Jiminks Do?
I probably shouldn't write this, but I probably cost you hundreds and hundreds of dollars, too.
Kidding aside, you know I appreciate the kind words and knowing my reviews help you is a very good feeling to have. Thank you.
I want to order from estervals, but for the discounts, does your account just have to say that you are in the USA (meaning the address you listed for shipment), or does the IP address have to actually be in the USA? I currently live in South Korea but would love to get a shipment to my residence back home.
Just try it. If it works the discounts are obvious. Look for 450g boxes of Capstan people not getting the discount can’t see it. Remember you may not get it initially. Either wait a day or two or email them.
Got these today: a tin each of GLP Gaslight, GLP Montgomery, GLP Piccadilly, Low Country Cooper, C&D Junkyard Dawg, and Firestorm. Also, healthy sized samples of G&H Brown Flake Unscented, Peter Heinrichs No. 51 (can’t find any info in this blend), Country Squire Hunting, Country Squire Parsons Blend, and GLP Penny Farthing.
I'm not sure if the discounts are related to being in the USA or not. Create an account and log in. Then you'll know for yourself. You only see the discounted prices when you are logged in.
Just ordered a tin of Balkan Sobranie from SmokingPipes. Limit of 1 tin per day.
Edit: aaaaaand it's out of stock. That was fast.
