Alway.. ALWAYS check the lids when you buy new tins no matter if it’s SG or not. , I thought this was understood.
I would definitely stay away from SG/GH if I were you.
On my first rodeo I learned tins were a suckers game.
Well.. because he’s been to at least 2 rodeos. Some people are just impossible to please. The best thing would be to grow your own at this point if you are that displeased, all the tobacco out there sucks these days anyway.
But then you have to holler at the mirror.Well.. because he’s been to at least 2 rodeos. Some people are just impossible to please. The best thing would be to grow your own at this point if you are that displeased, all the tobacco out there sucks these days anyway.
Haha, we are our own worst critics after all. Well, then you have those that should have a strong sense of self awareness but lack it entirely.
I wouldn't say ALL of it, but a lot has changed in the last few years. Maybe one likes the change, hates the change, or doesn't notice.all the tobacco out there sucks these days anyway.
I'm happy I bought when I did and don't need to buy any more, 'cause a lot of my favorite blends have taken a hit.
I am with you other than I’d like a tin of Golden Glow to see if it suits me. All other stuff from them I switched to bulk. I like the pocketability of the rectangular tins but I don‘t smoke fast enough to justify the hassle. And I don’t always feel like jarring stuff at this point. I’ve got more jars of tobacco than Word has fonts at this point and I don’t want my shelf to collapse.
And as a general inquiry to others can anyone tell me if the X & XX designations on SG and GH mean anything? I thought it may denote strong and extra strong but I can’t tell. Nicotine doesn’t really register with me unless I accidentally inhale a cigar.
she also said they had some issues and are working to fix it. And that they have to hire someone to make the tins and it didn't work out so well.
Just speculation, but I bet some lids were popping off during shipping. Little band of shrink wrap looked better than a few strips of scotch tape! Lol
There should be a sticky somewhere. This is not news. SG has said all over the place many times…their tins are made for consumption not storage. Put it in a jar or mylar and move along.
It's GH that does an XXX, Gawith Hoggarth - Black Irish XXX - GQ Tobaccos. The more Xs the thicker the rope.I'm holding out for XXX...
Wow these look crazy. They are UK only it says. I thought you were making a penis joke.
The title is a bit over the top but hey consider the source. I think I find the comment about PG even funnier though. I'm done here.
Looking at that site more, I am enjoying noting the non-US offerings. I want to get a meat cleaver and shave a pancake off that stack in the second picture.
