SP C&D 20% sale started

Site seems to be working for now.

A good time to stock up on faves or start new piles of stuff you want to try.


It usually means lots of this year production but I have had luck with 8 oz tins with a year or even three on them. I don't need another tin of tobacco but I will browse... always do.

What do you like ?

 

[Dublin Old Man]

I like Virginias, Vapers, English, Virginia/burleys. I don’t like aromatics.

 

[blametony]

I'm much more of a GLP fan but from C&D specifically, I like SOTE Flake, Briar Fox, Chenet's Cake and Pirate Kake. Bijou too but that's sold out.

 

[DonutLuvr]

Ordered Chenets Cake, Blockade Runner, After Hours, Bayou Morning, and Black Frigate.

I believe I had Bayou Morning years ago but don’t have it journaled anywhere on notes - the rest are new to me.

Sunday Picnic all day long... @Dublin Old Man

Bayou Morning, Bayou Nights, I am particularly fond of Star of the East Gold, which is Oriental heavy, and somewhat reminiscent of Gawith Squadron Leader.

Also recommend Bow-Legged Bear, but watch out for the heavy nic hit on this one. It will sneak up on you.

For VAs, look no further than Opening Night.

Aye. It’s good. Even better if you let it open up in a jar for a week or two.
Strait from the tin was a bit rough.

I snagged a few tins of Bijou and a couple other favorites. I agree 20% is enticing. It’s .20$ less than normal cost.

For anyone trying new-to-them C&D blends: without fail, I have found that ALL of them are far better, less bitey, more smooth, after being opened for a week or two. YMMV
Then again, my palate may feel that way about most blends, but don't discount your first experience if it's less than you expected.

Agreed. Normally my first impression on a C&D is I don’t care for it when I open and smoke it fresh.
Letting it sit in a jar or tin helps open it up and then they are more enjoyable.

Ive heard great things about Opening Night, Sunday Picnic.

I enjoy specifically Speakeasy, Kajun Kake, OJK, OJK Blue, Night Train and Im going in on Haunted Bookshop. Think I prefer over OJk for the less punch it has. Tastes about the same to me with enough difference to stand on its own.

Ill recommend engine 99 as well.

Yup. I usually let them open up for about a month.

There seems to be a queue just for getting into the website. Hrmph!!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

So, I got in, after waiting for ten minutes, but it automatically took me to a glossary page that I had never seen before. When I clicked on tobacco, it put me in the queue again. I'll just try again tomorrow, because I don't have the patience to keep doing this circle dance.
