If this is your maiden voyage with Escudo, then you're calling it nothing too special too soon.
Dang. You weren’t kidding.
I'm the kind of person who tends to hate popular bandwagons, whether we're talking pop culture, food trends, or tobacco. But sometimes, popularity occurs for a reason. In my opinion, Escudo is the Rolling Stones of pipe tobacco: popular as it is, that shit is the shit.
How so?
All style, no substance?
Boring?
Overrated?
I kid.
I hate the stones but I get what you mean.
I could write an essay to elaborate. But I fear it'd fall on deaf ears
Absolutely! I can’t stand pop country music but I’m loving the new Chris Stapleton album, I tell you what!
Opened a tin of Nov. 2022 Bob’s Chocolate Flake from Gawith & Hoggarth at Barry’s request while meeting with @Home Brewing Piper and @SmokingMedic at Prohibition Lounge in Green Bay. Great stuff!
Ran the 2022 Semois jar dry and had to head to the cellar for a replacement with some fresher stuff. Poppin the brick and a little update to the date on the jar...golden for another year or two. 
Had an open tin of about a 1/2 plug left of Aus Dem Krater and decided to dig the other one out of the cellar and just pre-slice everything and combine it into one for immediate use. EZPZ access style, no knife neccessary.
Did the same with the Salty Dogs. I was almost out and had one spare plug. This one is so dense it gets cube cut for easier rubbing. Plug and a 1/4 cut and jarred up for the smoking shelves.

Exactly the way they show up. They are bone dry already, so i just leave them in original packaging. I don't jar it till i'm gonna put it on the smoking shelves, but even that's really just a matter of homogeny in the stash.
That time of year. 2017 Carolina Red Flake.
