I left to visit my dad the day after it came in, so the pic from @Ryan’s ad will have to do until I can spend more time with it:

Some TAD arrived today...
What timing, they all arrived today, from two different states.
These ziplock baggies were gifted from @Akoni808
Ordered these Germain’s tins online...

I’m jealous, I got one tin a while back off Tinbids, one of my favorite burley blends. I did get confirmation it was coming back, just no news when.
I got 15 tins of CRF ‘23, smoked a bowl when it arrived, then ordered another 15. It’s just one of those blends I’d rather not do without.
Found it super enjoyable right away as well. A lot of places still have decent supplies but i think as ppl try it they will also be going back for more.
A lot of folks saying they like it this year but I'm disappointed. Doesn't taste as sweet as the 2021 version, or other VaPers I enjoy, despite reviews saying this is sweeter then other years. To me its just a pepper bomb with hints of sweetness throughout, not a bad smoke but Limited Edition worthy? Meh.
I take out the plastic bag inside and throw it in mylar.
Also: nice haul!
Yeah, I quickly got the impression that being in that cellophane bag would not be good for the long haul, but it's good to have some confirmation....so thanks for that. Both tins are jarred up, 1 for smoking now, 1 for later.
Yeah, I was more curious of the mindset of someone who buys 15 tins of something they've never tried before. I can see buying one tin, trying it and buying 15 but…
Is it just FOMO or am I missing something here?
Not really a TAD for me but ordered a Christmas 264 and threw in a can of Merry Monk and Blairgowrie.
I knew I liked it a lot??? It is better than the older versions to me. You feel the opposite, just taste. If you disagree with my method of purchase, cool. My reasoning is having some regularly while waiting 2 years for the next drop. Even if they start releasing more often, it’s one of those I want daily if possible.

That Peterson is a good looking pipe!
Recent TAD pick ups. I’m a big fan of CRF and this year did not disappoint.
I like your purchase methods! Especially the CRF
Where'd you find that lovely Cult medley? I thought everything but Blood Red Moon was discontinued...
Tobacco Trader LA posted on their story that they found some tins in storage. The cult conspiracy was from Watch City Cigar. They just randomly popped up on their website. I am not sure if they are getting anymore.Where'd you find that lovely Cult medley? I thought everything but Blood Red Moon was discontinued...
Wow, right place, right time! Manny and Ana are good people, I hope they stay in business a good long while. I've been there many times, even since I moved out of LA in '16. Nice haul!
It was Christmas this morning. Got quite a bit of blends gifted from @PipeIT in the mail, plus two pipes. It’s hard to read but he even included some 2011 McClellands, Germains, esoterica, SG and many more.
