Recent TAD Pick-Ups

[DedHed Piper]

Should Tad Pickups be monthly like What Are You Smoking, to make it more readable and time specific?

Oh yes. This thread is going to be looong.

Limerick is fantastic!

I picked up some CRF w/ Perique just like everyone else but I'm sure we all know what that looks like by now. Here's what else came with it though:

This came today. Its been awhile since my last order and i was trying to smoke through some older blends. With 2lbs Mac baren vanilla cream, 1lbs of sutliff vanilla custard, 8 oz arango bulkin supreme, and a few tins of Presbyterian.

Looking forward to hear how you get on with the Sweet Rum Twist, I've now finished the 50g I got and enjoyed it immensely. Once covid blows over and I can travel to the UK again I'm coming back with a whole bobbin of it.

I really enjoyed it, the cherry as well. It reminds me of Salty Dogs in that it has just enough rum topping to make it interesting. I'll definitely get some more to age and I'll be trying the apple, aniseed and aromatic variants as well.

Great, happy to read that! Of course this means I need to add Salty dogs in my next Estervals order....

 

[judcole]

Two orders currently places, that include 3 tins of Astley 109, 4 of Capstan Original Flake, 3 of Old Dublin, 3 of MacBaren Mixture (Scottish), and 5 of Peterson Flake. All are for long term cellaring, except the Capstan, which is intended to support an upcoming re-read of LotR - smoked in a Cobbit Dwarf, also en route.

 

[coming to_falling too]

I took advantage of SPs sale on mac baren tins, and got a few others. Here it is:
St. Bruno Flake x1
Capstan Blue Flake x1
PS402 Luxury Twist Flake 2oz
Escudo Navy Deluxe x1
Petereson My Mixture 965 x1
Peterson's Perfect Plug x1
Mac Baren Virginia no.1 3.5oz x1
HH Latakia Flake x1
HH Balkan Blend x1

I also had a little PAD mixed in. I picked up two Rossi pipes: a Piccolo 8402 and a Vittoria 8804.

 

[Dandy Pipesmoker]

Today I found some interesting tobacco at a local shop... The owner explained to me that he had some leftovers tins (now he keeps only OTC bags) and gave me a 40% discount...

1x Dunhill 965
4x Dunhill Early Morning
1x Presbyterian Mixture
1x Erinmore Balkan Mixture
1x Erinmore Mixture
4x Capstan Gold Navy Cut

All approximately from 2007 to 2012.

I had come in to ask if they had some pipe cleaners... ?

 

[krizzose]

C&D CRF w/ Perique x 6
Low Country Waccamaw x 4

 

[das3353]

SP order with some new blends to try along with some Izmir and Latakia to experiment with.

 

[goldenmole]

Result of some bored late night TAD/PAD attack with Estervals. Ordered Saturday night, arrived Wednesday morning. Not bad for lockdown times international shipping (even if just in Europe)

 

[karam]

Looks like they're still flogging that WO Larsen

 

[Slacey]

A small haul using an upcoming birthday as an excuse

Wanted some bolder / stronger stuff to try:

HH Bold Kentucky
Gawith's Brown Twist Black Cherry
Gawith's Ennerdale Flake
Sam Gawith St James Plug
Germains Rich Dark Flake

Oh, and a pouch of St Bruno from the local supermarket!

Yeah, have 300gr now, 100gr in each delivery as a free "sample" . Very smokeable in my view though..

I had to mix it to be smokable for me, but it is very good for my taste once the intensity of the flavouring got toned down.

 

[aquadoc]

My latest. Including Trout Stream, these are a few of the Aromatics that I really like. The Black Mallory is not an Aromatic. And the pipe is obviously not TAD but it is better than what I hoped it would be. Super light and the carving is extraordinary. Matches a Spruce cone perfectly.
