I stocked up on HH Old Dark Fired and HH Burley Flake, and lesser amounts of HH Bold Kentucky and Stockton after the news that Mac Baren was acquired by STG. Not a lot - just a few pounds in aggregate. Bought a few pounds of Sutliff blending tobacco too, like their TS-20 Perique.
Yesterday, I visited two local B&M shops, and bought their last two 3.5 oz. tins of HH Bold Kentucky and two 1.75 oz. tins of HH Latakia Flake. I passed on buying up more of the Latakia Flake, and several tins of 2018 HH Balkan Blend that was marked way up. Passed on a stack of Cringle Flake too.
I'm done now. Not going on a search for more HH blends or anything other products that are rapidly being bought up right now. If I smoked only HH blends my supply may last me maybe a little over a year. But I'm smoking mostly other tabacs, so it'll last longer than that.
Currently doing a side-by-side comparison of GLP Telegraph Hill and C&D Exclusive, those being blends that are up in the polls of the 2025 Blend of the Year Thread. Looking forward to trying out some of that Toscano Maestro Puccini blend too, and my first taste of 1792. The whole Tobaccopalypse is in my review mirror. I've moved on.
