Pretty awesome

I got a tin of Limited Edition McBaren HH Highland Blend. It's the same as the regular but the tin is numbered and has the blenders signature. Now I didn't get tin number one, but I did get a even number. I got 400. Also in my TAD order was a tin of Frog Morton On The Bayou and an ounce of Spartans English.

Nice score, let us know how it smokes.

It's wonderful. It's a mixture of Latakia, Burley, Virgina, a little fire cured cavendish, and some Glenfarclas (Scotch). It's creamy, sweet, has an almost BBQ smokiness to it, and gets spicy part way through.I got it in my International pipe Smoking Day Goodie bag from P&C. I wasn't sure whether or not to open it or age it. I decided to open it and keep the tin as a collectible

I agree. I was going to get something I haven't had, but I saw my sample is almost gone, so I got this

Mac Baren usually unveils a new blend at the Chicago show each year and will have special signed and numbered tins.

how are you liking the spartan's English?
I tried On the Bayou for the first time last week, it's a very decent blend.

I love it. I've got a full mason jar of it.

I agree. I was in my first TAD order

I ordered 2 tins, one for me now and one to have in a few years. #141 and 166,and I agree, its delightful.

 

[uberam3rica]

and one to have in a few years.

I thought about getting another tin for that, but I don't think I could keep from opening it

I am thinking the same thing, I am about to go into a PAD so I might add another tin and keep that one for a few years.

Can always order the non numbered tin, but whats the fun in that?

Well you could order the non numbered tin for opening to keep you from opening the numbered tin

True, ok that was the easy decision.

Now for the pipe...

I have 2 in my cart as i type this. Now to decide if I remove one, or add one.

I am looking for 1 for my wedding day. The 2 in the cart now are for regular use. But I want that one pipe, that one pipe thats just gonna jump out at me and that will be the pipe for that day. My bride to be wants me to get the Savinelli Elegance Pipe w/ Swarovski Crystals - Green 415 Billiard. Just not sure about that one.

I wouldn't. I don't care for the crystals

 

[russ]

I wouldn't. I don't care for the crystals

Thats exactly why I dont care for it either. Love the green color, just not the crystals. Getting married in May, might wait, a little while yet for that one.
Now to decide on which one of these...
