I grabbed a pound of it. I’m interested in smoking some now and seeing how some of it ages.
I got my pound of the recent Rouxgaroux blend from Ernie Q yesterday. It smoked full of flavor out of the bag and reminded me how much I enjoy red Virginias and Periquel

I can't smoke perique, but out of curiosity, is the fig a similar fig vibe to 3p's?
In my goat like palate experience 3P’s and Rougaroux are nothing similar. 3P’s “fig vibe” is from casing/topping, unlike what many get as a fig note from periques.

I think Rouxgaroux is more like a sweeter, smoother more refined Match Victorian than many other VaPers.
Windjammer has similar vibe, if you can find it under the rum.

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?
Literally all of them.
Ernie Q is a fucking tobacco ninja.

Simply Orange
Old Dominion

Old Black Magic
American Cut Plug
Quint’s Own
Rhythm and Blues

All of these blends are just phenomenal.
I don’t dig Lat so I can’t comment on his Lat blends but I’m sure they’re as special as the other genres.
If I had to smoke nothing but what’s on this list forever I’d be ok with that.

With all the positive posts (and the hype) I decided to order it myself. I couldn't make it to the store with Halloween, trick or treating and all, so I ordered online with in store pickup. With all the other blends I've been enjoying, and at the rate I smoke 4oz will probably last me until next October. Looking forward to trying out another new blend!

Old Black Magic is one of my favorite blends..
