Picked these up this past week while traveling in Athens. I’m really enjoying the Amphora Original.
A couple of new blends from KBV that I have not tried. Unfortunately, I won't be trying them for another week or so due to a tooth extraction. Quite looking forward to trying Peaty Hunt.
I stopped by Annapolis after going to the Renn Fest today and picked up a pound of my favorite and some other stuff to try. Maple Shadows smelled delicious so I got a sample. 
Renn Fest...been a long time for me. Is it worth stopping by that shop? I am down in the area sometimes.
Yeah it’s definitely worth stopping by. I try to go every time I’m in the area. They usually have a lot of limited tins and the owner is really great too.
Lots of new things to try arrived in the mail today! The only one of these I've had before is Mac Baren Vanilla Cream, which I've only tried in bulk form, so I've got quite a few new blends to sample! The two bulk bags are Mac Baren Golden Extra and Symphony, in case the text is too small to read.
Never heard of Scottish Autumn Flake before, had to look it up on reviews. Sounds nice. Haven't seen it over here but I'd grab a couple if they became available... nice.

Very nice and sweet Va without any topping. Originally, the entire "Four Seasons Serie - Irish Spring, English Summer, Scottish Autumn and Winter Time" was created in collaboration with SG and Stanislaw (a Czech pipe tobacco and cigar manufacturer) and intended only for the local market as a limited edition. But thanks to its success, this series is now more or less available throughout Europe. The Scottish Autumn is, in my opinion, the best of them. Must for Va lovers.
My PAD and TAD hit hard in the last few week. The CRF/P is on top of the 8 I already bought. These I found locally so grabbed them. I have been wanting a churchwarden and I have been wanting a Boswell pipe. When I saw this one on there Monday FB post I had to have it. The James Upshall came from here. The Skiff Mix I found at a B&M with 3 years of age on it already. Time to cellar most of this. 
I agree with you, Scottish was my favourite from that series as well. Always thought there was a light honey taste to it though. You might want to buy some more tins if you can. That series got discontinued a few years ago.
Does your postman take tips?
I'm lucky if I can hear their keys jingle as they run away after delivering the wrong mail.
Nice pick up, by the way. You and Simon have me curious to try Scottish Autumn Flake, though unfortunate that it has been discontinued. Enjoy!
Turned out I wasn't that fond of the cavendish in Poplar Camp. Fortunately it's not so bad to me that I won't gradually smoke through it. But, it did make me want to order a different tobacco again much sooner than I would have. So, bought more of my regular OJK and 1/4 pound each of Oriental Silk and blending Dark Fired to mix together as I discovered when I did that before I really liked the resulting blend. Have more desire for a dark fired blend now than I do a VaPer.
Too lazy to post pics (sorry, folks...I love seeing the pics, too), but here is my latest haul:
5x Sun Bear Tupelo
1oz Twilight Mixture
1oz C&D Orion's Arrow
1oz Newminster No.84 Oriental Pipe Cut
1oz Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental
1x C&D Riverboat Gambler
2oz Wilke Mediterranean Nights
2oz Wilke Vice Cat
2oz Wilke Dark Oriental
5x Sun Bear Tupelo
1oz Twilight Mixture
1oz C&D Orion's Arrow
1oz Newminster No.84 Oriental Pipe Cut
1oz Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental
1x C&D Riverboat Gambler
2oz Wilke Mediterranean Nights
2oz Wilke Vice Cat
2oz Wilke Dark Oriental
It was one I hadn't heard of and thought it sounded nice as well. I see the posts saying it's discontinued but tobaccoreviews.com still lists it as "currently available". They went through some changes recently, are they not up to date?
