I haven’t smoked anything pictured, but a stack of new-to-you tins is one of my favorite things to receive in the mail haha! Hope you enjoy them!
Yes this is why my cellar is much wider than it is deep. So when they eventually ban overseas sales, online sales etc I'll have a decent selection to choose from in the years to come.
I like to mix it up and if I only had the UK tobaccos to pick from I wouldn't be happy. Don't get me wrong we've got a solid core of outstanding blends but the choice compared to America is laughable. Cornell & Diehl probably has about as many blends as we do total in the UK. And out of the roughly 250 we do have a sizable percentage wouldn't interest me as they're aros (which I only smoke occasionally) or they contain latakia which I can't stand.
I honestly wish I was like one of those old timers who had their blend like Condor or St Bruno and that's all they smoked, they never felt the need to try other things as they were happy with that. It'd certainly make things a lot easier and a lot cheaper but it wasn't to be. I MUST have a good rotation and new things to try.
