A very generous friend from Switzerland has gifted me some mighty fine samples.
Various Four Square Virginias from the 60s, Caledonian 499, and some Players Navy Cut from the 80s and 90s.

Your buddy Brian will be smoking high class this holiday season!

Does the tobacco stay fresh in those tins for years or do you put the tobacco in mason jars?

 

[Sigmund]

I’m not sure of the best idea for those. I have wondered the same.

I have couple of those that I just vacuum sealed in plastic bags. I am not sure if that's the best idea.

Ordered the same exact things as you but from Watch City. Let us know what you think of the packaging. I never ordered these blends before the last drop so I don't know how they were packed before. I thought Gold Block was wrapped in cellophane but no it came in the same type of bag cannabis comes in not mylar but similar style.

Yeah they switched to a more modern "scent concealing" bag, the first time I picked it up it came in a thin clear plastic bag. I don't mind it, its going straight into jars or mylar when it gets to me anyway.

They are both favorite smokes as far as straight VA's and VaPer's go. Crazy prices though.

I checked WCC as soon as I could after they posted, maybe like 3:45 and he posted them at 3, was gone by then. He said only 20 people bought up the whole lot.

Might as well add since I'm in this thread already I was at Owl Shop in New Haven, CT last night and got an ounce of their Balkan Blend 'Harkness Tower'. Really good stuff should have bought more before I left.

I was one of the lucky few I could of ordered much more then what I did I actually wanted 2 curlys and 4 golds but didn't want to over do it. Last me awhile as is though the curly block is special I could just imagine the past iteration

Hey don’t cleaning supplies count too in the posts? LOL

A clean pipe and lighter are Happy Toys!

Just bought a bottle of Everclear, the last one made it a little over a year. I can’t believe how long that bottle lasted me.

NC has a 151 proof limit. I pick up the 190 when I go to SC. I get some funny looks when I buy all the pints in stock.

They're all thinking what we’re all thinking: Damn, FurCoat must have a TON of pipes!

Oh thank God. For a minute there I thought they were thinking I'm a drunk.

Did a bit of stocking up on HU blends and sampling a few HH blends.

Nice stash. That Moroccan Bazaar is really fun and a great change of pace for me.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Received 5 tins each 2023 Cringle Flake and Anthology. Ordered 10 more tins of Anthology tonight. Unless the Cringle Flake really improves, the remaining 4 will gather dust.

 

[Sigmund]

@Auxsender yes the second order was to stock up on that blend. I dont smoke it often and I dont smoke many aromatics but this one is tasty and its going away. I grabbed some other things to sample of course. I dont count on liking the hh rustica but at least I will know Ive tried it. Who knows. I may enjoy it.
