Prepper Order

[sittingbear]

I'm severely tempted to place a "prepper" order to stockpile several pounds of tobacco before the axe falls. If you were placing a large order, and say your budget was around $500, what would you order?

I'd probably spend $400 on my top 5-10 bulk tobaccos and $100 on some one-off tins for future variety.

Plugs, Plugs, and more Plugs. In case you have to move. Pretty sure I could fit 5lbs of plugs in my jeans pockets.

Specifically (in a perfect world), Dan Salty Dogs, SPC PPSR, SG FVP, SJP, and Ennerdale Plug, Peterson 3Ps, HU Fayyum Kake, Wessex Gold Brick, and ODF Plug

That would be some order. I'd have to consider five pound bags of bulk of blends I hope I will continue to like for a long long time, or a dazzling array of premium blends.

 

[jzbdano]

I'd order large quantities of my favorites and maybe $100 worth of 2oz samples or single tins for future exploration.

I'd order a few what I'll call "occasion" blends and then a massive amount of cheaper regular blends.

For me it would look something like some SG St James Flake, SG Cabbie's Mix, GH&C Dark Flake Unscented, SPC PP SR, etc. and then a bunch of Suftliff Sweet VA, Sutliff Spiced Rum, GH&C American Delight (just ordered an oz of Kentucky Nougat to see if I prefer it), etc.

Say 35% to 65% ratio?

I'm thinking Virginia Flake, Match Edgeworth Ready Rubbed, ODF, Bold Kentucky, and some aros. I think I'm more concerned about aros right now, although if all internet sales are banned, that would really put a damper on all my favorite blends.

‘I tend to agree- as “flavored” tobaccos are the current target of legislation I think the aro blends will be the first to feel the pinch and become scarce. Then again, I’m just an internet expert...?

‘I have been stocking up regardless!

If I weren't already ready for the tobacco-pocalypse, I would go nuts on my favorites like Nightcap, Westminster...if I were going bulk, I'd probably find my way over to some Watch City bulks.

I buy those at the local cigarette store for $35.

Impossible to say without knowing what you like best, how many blends you like a lot, etc.. Virginias age the best so those are a good bet. But if you don't like Viginia blends, it doesn't matter.

 

[Simmerdown☕️]

I need not buy another ounce ever again. But, if I was not so well-heeled in blends I’d likely purchase 200$ in bulk favorites and then 300$ in tins of Virginias, Virginias, Virginias. I’d definitely venture into those HU blends.️

What I'd order doesn't matter much, because it's what I like, which may be different from what you like! The "how I'd order" is perhaps what you're after.

I'd order large quantities of a few blends, maybe $100x5, and try to focus on plugs, bulk flakes and ropes for their ageing potential.
I'd focus on bold tobaccos as that'd be the primary taste that'd be gone.

 

[charf]

Old Joe Krantz all the way.

 

[gervais]

I would order 1/3 Va/vaper, 1/3 burley, and 1/3 English balkan for variety

 

[philipa4]

Would stock up on a bunch of HH pure virginia.

 

[mikethompson]

I'd love to have a pile of an extra $500USD and ruminate on what tobacco to buy.

 

[3rdguy]

I would do some research, get my blends lined up then take advantage of a sale with that $500.

I finished off my cellar with a 50 pound order last Spring. Pick a couple of favorites and load up.
