The plan is to order some Ahabs Comfort, Noreaster, and a few oz of double barrel if it doesn't sell out before I get a chance. The two blends you recommended definitely sound like something I wanna try.

Look at Flake 558. I like VaPers ok but the addition of Kentucky in this blend takes it to another level. Not a true VaPer to the purist but worth a try.
I passed on this one and my wallet thanked me for it.
Got 4 oz myself. I’m not much of an aro smoker but I do like a boozy blend, and literally everything I’ve had that Ernie has blended has been excellent.
You're in luck then, not an aro.?
"This is a Virginia Burley blend with a bit of aromatic English Cavendish added. The Virginia is Rum cured and the Burley is Bourbon cured. The curings steer and bring out the flavor of the tobacco. THIS IS NOT A RUM BOURBON AROMATIC."

Even better. I love a boozy tobacco forward blend.
This stuff is sold out already - I was watching the site all day for it to appear - and it appeared OUT OF STOCK
I saw this after I ordered. Just went with 2 oz each of Ahabs, Noreaster, and Double Barrel. If everything is a sgood as it sounds it won't be my last order. I'll keep 558 in mind. Thanks again for the recommendations
Glad to be of help. We are in this together..no one here suffers from TAD alone. It's our mission statement...lol
I was able to get 1 lb, because, of course I don't already have enough tobacco.
Do they usually sell out that fast? I missed Rouxgaroux, Rhythm & Blues and Simply Red this year. I’m trying to figure out how to not miss out the next rounds.
It seems like they are selling out within a few hours. I set an alarm on my phone and ordered it from my phone.
I believe you can sign up for emails from watch city and they will give you a heads up.
I couldn’t get in from the field to place the order. I’ll have to plan a day off the next rounds...LOL
Yep, his clientele are nation and probably world wide. Forum membership is a drop in the bucket if he only made a couple of hundred pounds.
Concidering the size of the operation at Watch City, I think Ernie and his staff do an incredible job of getting their product to the masses. They are also forthcoming with new releases and restock of staple blends. I feel like Ernie takes pride in his craft and is customer driven. I don't get that vibe from say ESO or SG. And with no middle men we don't get the wild fluctuations in price with those other hard to find blends. The blends we missed from WCC will be back around, until then they have blends in stock for every pallet. In the meantime try those blends out, you won't be disappointed. I'll pay four bucks an ounce for an English blend from Ernie before I drop 250 bucks for a bag of Penzance any day.
