Yeah I saw this one too late. Good for you though.

The number of times I have seen these too late...

My exact sentiments

Third and final mail call. I always say, "I think I am good at this point" Then I buy more tobacco the next week.

1x 8oz Black Frigate
1x 50g Peterson Royal Yacht
3x 2oz C&D Dreams of Kadath
1x 2oz Warped Scarecrow

Liked Scarecrow so much, I went back for 4 more. Added a tin of Cloud Hopper, 4 tins of Creeper of the Corn and 8oz of Crooner. I'll probably bite on Atalaya, but that may be my last purchase. The excise tax exceeded the sales tax. I have more than I'll be able to smoke in my lifetime.

I am waiting for my cold to go away before I try Scarecrow. It smells very sweet. I saw one review where the guy said it smelled and tasted of candy corn. I can kinda see what he is saying, but still excited to try it. I am not huge on aros, so we will see how it goes. I am glad to hear that people are digging it. Let us know how the Creeper of the Corn is. I have enough tobacco to last me a few years at this point. Certainly not the 500lbs I have seen cited in other posts.

I'm not a big fan of aro's either but Scarecrow is very well done. I get a smell of spiked eggnog. I got Creeper because the toppings sounded interesting. I'll keep you posted.
I'm nowhere near 500 pounds but if I live another 30 years I'd have to smoke over half a pound a month.

You had me at spiked eggnog.

Today’s post about today’s “post” - mail woman was good to me today!

More PAD than TAD today. 2013 Nording Hunting Fox sister pipes. Both unsmoked.1 smooth and 1 semi rusticated. Both ordered on the same day from different sides of the country within minutes of each other, both arrived today by the same mail carrier. Decided to obtain them being we share the same name. (Male fox are referred to as Todd) Plus, being made by Nording, I know they will be good smokers.

Havent had the dark cherry but I’ve had the other two and they were freaking great. KBV is awesome. You’re in for treat. I’m hugging your mail lady for you.

I’m hugging your mail lady for you.

I tried hugging a mail lady once. It's the most efficient way to get a restraining order since, after all, they're the very people who deliver them.

I kind of forgot I went a little nuts on the KBV and she brought more today, lol. Enjoying the Candy Apples now. Really good. So far the one thing that sticks out FWIW is out of the pouch the two blends I’ve tried have needed little or no drying time. Interesting to me, anyway.

 

[Peter Turbo]

Have you tried it yet?

Its most excellent.

 

[Cigarstopipes]

Got back from vacation last night to see this waiting for me. Been curious to try a VA/Oriental blend and so picked up Bijou, the rest are my usual rotation and cellar staples.

1x Orlik Racing Green. My quest is complete. I am now officially completely out of both room and Ball jars. I feel like celebrating...

I'm not impressed with Creeper. Save your money. If someone on the forum likes it I'll send them the couple of tins I got.

 

[Elric]

Picked up the Pipe Smoking in Middle Earth book so, of course, I had to order enough to get over the free shipping limit. Eight tins of Scarecrow and 4 oz of Mark Twain later.....

Brown Bogie Aromatic & Aniseed Brown Twist.
Despite settling on Rum Twist years ago, felt the urge to try something new. Brown Bogie wasn’t bad, just disappointing. The unscented works better for me. Aniseed Twist, different story altogether. Delightful savoury rather than sweet tasting twist. A big surprise to me & a new found ‘stonewall’ classic.
