Just got my first log of Heinrich’s Curly Block. That one was a little hard to pull the trigger on.

Good to hear. This is my test run, I saw that it was blended by Jeremy Reeves so I'm pretty sure I'll like it and if I do I'm going to order a bunch more to cellar.
Jeremy Reeves has turned out to be quite a good blender. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried from him. He’s been adding a lot of new and exciting blends to the C&D line up. I have to admit, I wasn’t too sure about him when he assumed the position but he’s definitely proven himself.
Bijou is one of my favourite blends, and at about 1/2 through a tin of Savinelli 140th Anniversary I think he may be a genius.
Man I love those blends too! Glad to hear you like the 140! I’m just getting into it myself and I’m smitten. I got a bunch more tins on the way and a few more sitting in the cellar. I don’t know what took me so long to try this one, I knew I was going to like it... maybe that’s what I was afraid of?
Plus he's a nice guy, he returned my email that was praise + questions to answer my questions
Yeah, he does seem like a great bloke and very knowledgeable! Very thankful he’s in the biz.
When two of my favorites are on sale the same week...
Love cask 4! I picked up a kilo box last year. Definitely my favorite bulk va Flake
Latest score was a 90s Era tin of Peterson Sherlock Holmes from PipeStud's website. Bought it for the tin art.
I’ve been zeroing in on blends to cellar and Bijou is already “deep” for me but my next order is going to be probably 5 tins of the Savinelli and if I like it multiples of the Speakeasy. When Sunbear came out a few weeks ago I bought six knowing that I’ll like it just because it has his name on it. I guess I am a groupie, but I’ve also found that the Bob Runowski blends seem to speak to me as well.Man I love those blends too! Glad to hear you like the 140!

Got me something from Germany.
The Cervante is a limited (yeah, seems HU ended up there as well) burley tobacco, that I need to try out.
Plumcake is new for me and the rest just to add to the cellar.
The W.O Larsen is the standard gift from Estervals.

Ok, I said I wasn’t going to buy any tobacco this month, and damned if SP didn’t start selling bulk D&R! ?
Picked up:
2 oz each of Two Timer (tin, they didn’t have this one as bulk), Penhooker, Cockstrong, Rimboche AP, Rimboche AB, Picayune, and 2 oz of MacBaren ODF RR, and 4 oz of C&D Habana Daydream. And a new cob (Rob Roy straight).

My tins survived the hurricane and only made it two days later than originally scheduled. I missed the 15% off sale but just glad I got em before they sold out. This blend is a true gem!
Nah, a bit away. Sweden
Lucky for me being a HU fan.
Unlucky for me also being a Hearth&Home and GL Pease fan....
Scored me a tin of Margate and bag of Dunbar at my local B&M. They had a ton of Esoterica. No Penzance or And So To Bed, but still, Unicorn Score!!!
