Recent TAD Pick-Ups

[coming to_falling too]

This weekend's TAD was just a tad with a little PAD:

F&K Lancer Slices x4oz bulk
Tsuge's The Tasting 16 stack
MM General bent corncob

 

[judcole]

Yesterday I added three tins of Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed, three 50 gm tins of ES 1855. and two 50 gm tins of Old Gowrie.

MM General bent corncob

Just ordered one of those along with 2oz each of Spark Plug, Quiet Nights, Maltese Falcon, and Gaslight.

Having just reacquired a taste for latakia, ordered a half pound of Star of the East Gold to try for the first time as well as a half pound of Stratfordshire, my (at least used to be) favorite latakia blend. Wanted to try the Gold because I've been on an Oriental forward blend kick lately and wanted a blend with only condimental latakia in the event my taste for latakia hasn't returned full force yet.

Thinking that with the C19 drama it might be a good time to try and sneak an order through, I ordered a pound of MacBaren Virginia #1 on the 9th of April.

Tracking status said in 'Mail Preparation' - something that I had not seen before.
Figuring that it was a new term for 'snatched by Customs', I was awaiting a nasty 'you're in trouble' letter.

Imagine my delight when I found it sitting at my door this morning.

One pound of tobacco might not sound like a big deal to most of you here but in Nanny State Australia, a pound of fine tobacco is huge.
Yay for me!

I've noticed that more than a few smokers who frequently indulge in latakia dominant blends turn off it after a while.
Sounds to me like too much of a good thing.

It would be a shame if I lost my taste for Latakia, especially since I've got several pounds of English/American/Crossover blends, lol.
My sense is that it's less likely to happen when one sticks to blends where Latakia is used as a condiment.

I've gone through several periods of suddenly hitting what I call the latakia wall where I cannot hack the stuff. In order to minimize the chance of hitting it again I will only smoke a latakia blend once daily in the evening, (I smoke 3-4 times daily).
