I’ve never seen these before?

I was told they were both purchased on a trip to London in 1989. Neither are in production anymore.

Took advantage of the sale , really enjoying the Red Hunt, nice subtle cocoa notes much like i get from Presbyterian but in a Virginia.

 

[AJL67]

Care to elaborate?? I've seen the amount you have been bringing in! Impressive!

Ripped off of a line from Scrooged, and now that I’ve watched the clip a rather poor job of it lol

Oh and pipe world Spokane for the Rustica , and not pictured G&H Kendal dark and Brown Irish X , best lil B&M I’ve hit in The NW

Grabbed 200g of Dracquer & Sons First Amendment and 200g of Loch Ness.

Want to try before I get more, but couldnt beat the sale they were having (20% off at SP) and I usually grab a bowl of English blends as the weather gets cooler in the evening.

Reviews were promising so here's to hoping they live up to it. (As a Pease fan, I am sure they're good)

I also hit the Dracquer sale. Gotta keep up my rep as a freeloader!

Looks like 74 Charing Cross Road is now a bookshop possibly.

G Smith & Sons - Tobacconists and Snuff Merchants. They were my tobacconists until I left the U.K in 1995. I used to have an account with them I paid monthly when the shop was run by a Mr. Vivian Rose maybe? The world just gets a little bit smaller every time one of these places closes.

Recently in hand or on the way: 8 oz Peretti Boston Slices, 3 tins Capstan Blue Flake, 16 oz Low Country Virginia, and 3 tins of Mac Baren Golden Extra - the bulk was all gone by the time I was able to order.

 

[Franco Pipenbeans]

I just got a Sam Gawith’s sampler - 1792, Balkan, Bothy and Sam’s flake. I tried some Sam’s last night, it was ok.

Tonight I’m going to try some Bothy while my ribs are cooking. ??

I guess I'm running out of shit to get into.

I grabbed this at my B&M today after pipe club:

Box of Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon Robusto , made the mistake of only ordering 1 box instead of 2 will rectify next month ?

[Egg Shen]

I’ll bite - I literally haven’t bought any new tobacco in 4 years but now I’ve ended up with 1lb of The Red Hunt, some Sillems Aromatics, and 1lb of Sun Bear 2022.

I really need to start smoking from the cellar or my wife is gonna kill me ?

Mac Baren staples for the cellar and a couple of new ones to try.

Really enjoy the Red Hunt, makes a nice break from my regular Virginia rotation.

Some day I will finally take the plunge and give this classic a try! I'll probably love it though.

I haven’t cracked a tin yet but I did the same as you, read some tasting notes and thought it’s worth a shot. Plus I’ve been smoking a lot of Virginia’s lately and out of season (our winter), normally english and burley blends this time of year.
