Recent TAD Pick-Ups

[Swiss Army Knife]

Picked up a couple tins of 140, took a little advantage of the Capstan sale, and evened out the cart with some accessories I'd been eyeing for a while.


More than I wanted to spend but that's how they get ya. Mentally preparing myself for the funds for the Folklore order in a couple days.

This week's goodies....2 Boxes of Cuban H. Upmann No.2 and 7 Tines of Cobblestone Limited No. 2 Plum Rum.

I see your state doesn't charge an excise tax. NC is 10% added to 7% sales tax. They don't call it taxilina for nothing.

It's worse than that. The excise tax in NC is 12.8% not 10%. You need a 20% off sale to get list price out the door.

That's not fair.

How is the Plum Rum? Two of my favorite tobaccos are Royal Yacht and Salty Dogs. Plum and Rum... with a bit of latakia? Sounds awesome. Is it similar to either? I've got no experience with Cobblestone so wondering...

I'm not the guy you're responding to but I've been smoking Plum Rum and its solid. Nothing like Royal Yatch or Salty Dogs, just a smooth latakia smoke with some rum and plum notes, not over bearing or in your face. Pretty balanced. Picked up 3 tins blind (which I never do), glad I did. If you like latakia, plum and rum, its a no brainer.

A modest haul from SP to take advantage of the Capstan sale. After seeing how inadequate two tins of Capstan looks, I went back and ordered two more, plus a tin of the yellow which I've never tried, and a tin of Warped The Red Hunt.

It is ridiculous. I'm 51 and by my last count I have at least 30 years of tobacco cellared. At this point I really have to want something to order it.

With the demise of the canister of Kentucky Club Mild that I was given as a gift by a generous member of this forum, I ordered a pound of Milan's "Our" Kentucky Club Mild, and 4 ounces of Milestone.

A couple pickups, Meers on the cheap, the larger for $25 makes up for the Altinay

 

[sjohnston0311]

Small order from Watch City, and my first from them. A few ounces each of Watch City's Persian Slipper and Queequeg's Blend, which I can't wait to try. Plus some tins of Escudo for the cellar.

I stopped by McCranie’s in Charlotte NC and picked up some of their house blends. It’s a great pipe shop and a must see if you’re in the area. Ser Jacopo makes their house pipes.

Just arrived this morning. The pipe, a Castello Old Antiquari Great Line Bent Dublin (N1) (Unsmoked), should get here tomorrow or Tuesday. You gotta love when you buy an estate pipe on Thursday and then the next day SP has a 10% off sale. I just roll with the punches anymore.

Cool, I ordered from their online shop recently, they had a couple of things other sites don’t

I'm assuming the 10% isn't a huge amount but i would bet if you called them they would give you a credit of the amount, they have pretty damn good customer service.

 

[Jwebb90]

Well I'm super frustrated but I've gone this long with Stonehaven, I'll survive.

Go to Puff N Stuff. If there was a drop, then they likely got some.

Lol, true. I would feel like a meiser. Once I bought a couple of Savs and then a free tshirt deal came out afterwards (like the next day), I emailed customer service and told them how much I wanted that awesome Savinelli t-shirt. They hooked me up, and it's a great t-shirt...one of my favorites. They have great customer service, and I let them know that.

 

[AJL67]

Picked up a few tins. So many things in the air, don’t know if i like it a little at a time or all at once (that’s what she said).

I *almost* stopped by over the weekend... I'll give them a call shortly.

 

[AcesAndEights]

This one has been on my radar for a while. Finally managed to get a hold of some.
