@hawky454 Was that Pipe World or Habana House?


View attachment 42478

It was Pipe World off Anderson. I always forget the name of the dude I talk with in there. I do know that he was on the Coutry Squire podcast, the Texas pipe show edition. I haven’t been to Habana House in a year or so, which is shame cause they are a block a way from me... I just can’t pay their prices. Pipe world is much more reasonable. I do like everyone at Habana House though, I’ll have to go try to support them soon... though I still need to support myself and my daughter so I can’t do too much supporting. Ha!

Good sampler. LNF, Newminster 400, and Balkan Supreme are staples for me.

Once again, I said I wasn’t going to buy any more tobacco for a while, and once again the specials and rare restocks got me! ?
Bought a couple tins of Golden Days of Yore (honestly it was the sauce that Jeremy Reeves was cooking in that YouTube video that tempted me), a couple tins of SG 1792 Flake, a tin of SG Brown No 4 Twist, a tin of SG Black XX Twist, and a tin of Warhorse Bar. And another cob. ?‍

These restocks are probably going to get me too when the Gawith arrives at my preferred online retailer. A part of me hopes they are sold before I can get any.....

The sampler was heavily influenced by this community.

Was recreantly blessed with some aged Peter Heinrich's special Curly. It was such a delight. Truly an elegant smoke. I purchased 200 oz for the cellar. Goodbye for now and see you in hopefully ten years.

Took almost 3 weeks to get 500g of RDF here with the wrong Zip Code on the box but the USPS came through. At least now it has some age on it. It even went out to Portland, not sure if it was in on the protests however.

 

[hawky454]

Mine came in:


8 Gold
2 English

I really like that they put the date the gold was tinned on the back. Just wonder why that don’t do that with all their blends.

How aged was the stuff you tried? I still haven’t tried this blend but I’ve been holding on to a 200 gram tin that SPC gifted me in November of 2010. Looking forward to trying it, I may just open it in November. I am worried that it may be dried out though as it was in a different tin at the time, the top just has a foil seal on it... hope that it’s enough to keep it in good condition. We’ll see soon enough.

Today I ordered a 250 g box of Golden Glow and St James Flake. I'm excited to try them both.

It was a tin from 2006. Quinton Wells, President of the Greater Kansas City Pipe Club amongst many others things, very generously shared with anyone interested in trying at our last club meeting. I do hope your tobacco made it through and smokes as wonderfully as what we smoked. I’d love to hear your take.

It’s good to hear that this ages well, I’m looking forward to it but trying not to get my hopes up in case the tin didn’t keep its seal. I will definitely be posting about it once I open it... assuming all goes well! It’s basically the first tin that started my cellar. I had no idear what it was when I got it back then but the PH tobaccos have definitely gotten much more popular since then.

A tin of 2017 Vintage Syrian. I started after Syrian Latakia was off the shelves, so this is the only way I’ll get to try it.

I’m not expecting anything in particular, I just want to know what the differences were between Syrian and Cyprian. I guess just to have the experience.

After I took the picture, I jarred all the Samuel Gawith and the Margate. Fingers crossed ?- No mold yet.
Somehow this photo is not editable and the only photo I took before jarring so wrong orientation

One of the tobaccos I ordered he didn't have anymore so he swapped it out for something else. I was quite happy with this but he also threw in 55g of 10 year old Cornell and Diehl Red Virginia Ribbon?

Received a package in the mail today.
All blends except Grousemoor are new to me, locking forward to trying them.
