What am I waiting for, the afterlife? This smells like a Jamaican spiced rum cake. Thank you Pipestud and thank you $100 bill. We all know Virginia like this isn’t produced anymore and you know what I have to say about it? Waaaah. There is no equal but there is plenty of other good tobacco to enjoy.

I tried to smoke a bowl fresh out of the tin but the great killer of bowls, time, prevented it. I will smoke some in the next day or two and if it tastes “closed”, I’ll wait a week. I do get worried about the shelf life of older blends once opened and jarred. I recently had two blends from 2007 and 2008 go flat in the jar, they have been jarred for 4 months I believe. I think/hope this will hold up longer than that.

i worry about that too. I know pease is on record saying enjoy an aged tobacco quick with friends bc it will decline fast, but ive heard many others say they smoke a bowl of jarred christmas cheer annually and notice no differences. very subjective i guess!!

im a dabbler, so 100 gram tin for me? that lasts a long time. no way i can finish quick

Nearly forgot the photo op. I mix this with Gold Block in small batches and jar it, ritual first smoke of the day in a cob. Fading light, but it is pretty red.

One of my favorites, enjoy! And happy belated, by the way...I guess I'm one of those assholes that didn't get you anything...

I am humbly honored and happy someone knows what a Nudie suit is.

I’ve wanted a Nudie suit with pills on it like Gram Parsons wore on The Gilded Palace of Sin for over forty years.

what year?

It’s only been offered in round tins, as opposed to “paint can” style tins for a week so my guess is 2025.

You’re one of the few here that could pull it off with ease. I’m imagining some of the degenerates here trying, they would put off strong “ stay away from my kids” vibes.

What sort of licorice taste does it have? I see it on the description, for me sounds like a turn off but I haven’t tried it.

C&D Dreams of Kadath. Been in the cellar about 2 years. This will be my “spooky season” blend. I’m getting a little citrus and blueberry in the tin. On my second bowl. It’s a banger. It’s going to be a good fall blend.

i just tried that for the 1st time. It was really complex. I loved it too. Mine was new, no time. Yours looks divine! in fact, just bought another from nova to sit on.
