Rouxgaroux: A Rexminderx

[Servant King]

Quite possibly my favorite VaPer is having its biannual distribution to the fig-obsessed masses (us) this evening.

Anyone else waiting with baited breath? Counting down the minutes? Shaking from a six-month withdrawal? Cold sweats? Inexplicable mood swings? Sitting in front of the computer hitting the F5 key over and over again?

For the record, I'm not one of them, just curious about the rest of youse guys...

Rouxgaroux is a great VaPer, I'd say it's my favorite also. I bought 4 oz back in April and that was my first purchase of Rouxgaroux. I smoked a bit when I first got it and put it on the shelf until a few weeks ago. Loved it fresh and reaaaallllly love it with about 6 months in a jar. I may get some more, but unfortunately the budget is tight right now so I can't get the pound I had planned on.

 

[MattRVA]

I thought I had a jar from the original release but alas I smoked it. I do still have some from 2020, it’s a wonderful VaPer for sure.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Still have 5 pounds of it so no worries from me. Jump and pounce everyone!

Thanks for the reminderoux

 

[DesertDan]

The last release sold out before I could order.
Hope I can get some this time.

Thanks for the reminderoux

That's the good thing about a reminder for the October release. The April 1st release would just make everyone think a reminder is an April Fools prank turned loose a few hours early.

I can't smoke perique, but out of curiosity, is the fig a similar fig vibe to 3p's? And while I am on the topic, what other figgy pop-ular blends do you folk figure recommending?

 

[kcghost]

If you like it, you have to have it!!

Never had 3P's, so I wouldn't know. GLP Windjammer is respectably figgy, as is Stokkebye Navy Flake. Not to mention considerably easier to procure than Roux.

I've never tried this one. I've actually been pretty bad about getting around to ordering anything not available on SP (I have bookmarks saved for some LJP stuff for example).

This might be my first go, do you have a time it drops? Like is it right at midnight or random (and what time zone)? I'm not trying to get as much as possible, just the minimum order.

Sounds like a Va/per I might like. I don't hate Va/pers, but I'm generally kind of "meh" about them.

If there's time enough before, I might go ahead and setup a cart with other stuff I might want so all I have to do is add this and check out. Any other quintessential Watch City blend recommendations?

Would you believe I have some from 2019 that I've never got around to trying?

The last two pounds I bought back in 2021 are still in their bags.

 

[renfield]

One of my favorites. I still have some from last year so more for the rest of you.

The thread title made me laugh.

 

[Ghosted Tamper]

I wasn't wowed by this blend like most seem to express. Sutliff tobaccos (or how they process them) seem to evade my enjoyment radar. I still have roughly a pound of this from last year's release, hoping age will make a blind man see the light?

More for the rest of y'all.

You just backed up the truck on Peterson blends, but have never tried 3P's?? Well, the good news is that it's pretty reasonable off-sale, too.

 

[sardonicus87]

Well, hopefully it doesn't sell out too fast, I don't even wake up until 12:30 pm eastern time. If it does, oh well, it's just a VA/per.

Made an account and bookmarked the page anyway.

One of these days, I need to go through all these kind of places and make lists of any of their blends I might be interested in that are only available through them. First I need to make a list of places like that with exclusive (I.E. not sold through other retailers) tobaccos. All I got off the top of my head is LJP, Watch City, Country Squire.

Not fond of plugs. But the astute observation is appreciated nevertheless.

 

[Jbrewer2002]

I’m thinking about ordering some to try. I mean if @JimInks helped creat the blend it has to be good. He usually has good taste.
