Always been 1 to only keep and use 2 blends in stock at a time. Find for the most part I prefer blends to contain perique. So, having recently bought a pound of OJK, decided to buy a pound of match Victorian to go with it. Lately find I prefer the Victorian over Bayou Morning, my other VaPer.

Just opened a tin of union square from 2011 and it is a 10/10. Taste like lemon ice cream. And smells like sour cherries. Delicious
Hahahaha
Your choice! It was quite a haul, and would make a good addition to this thread. I'll delete the other post in two days to give you time to copy it over if you wish.

Just enough to get free shipping.
Oh crap, there was supposed to be 3 tins of StJames Flake
A quick call to Boston, and a tin of SJF will be on the way! Everybody is human, it’s how you take care of things that keeps me giving you my money.
Ronson (now owned by zippo) lighter came in today, but that was Amazon.

I opened up an old gmail inbox yesterday and found an email from Thompson Cigar containing a 35% discount code for Father's Day and free shipping.
Along with a box of cigars I picked up a tin of Dunhill Scottish Mixture for under $9 after the discount.

Haha, just checked to see if this was still available in case I need more... nope, gone! Bless the gods of timing for this lot.
I was just gifted a tin of Garfinkel's Orient Express Special Mixture No.11. This has to be the blackest paper liner I have ever seen.
How do you find it? I like it but it burns like the fiery pits of hades.
I'm enjoying burning in my new Peterson Bulldog with it - it's a pure virginia, gentle sips keep the demons at bay. Definitely not a puffer; when I first smoked this from a tin, I did puff searching for the flavour, but quickly learned that the subtleties need to be teased out slowly - and when the tin finished, I really missed it, having adjusted to its charms.
So, not exactly a typical TAD attack, but more of a delayed gratification…
I was in my garage the other night looking for something and opened one of the drawers on my “workbench” and found this…
I had completely forgotten about these for 4 years. They’ve all been aging nicely in my uninsulated Florida garage since 2020/2021. The Orlik is the only one that needs some rehydration, everything else is perfect
The C&D Burley Flake #4 in particular smells amazing now.

First time ordering from this company and the shipping I chose required a signature. After three days of cat and mouse…I finally got my hands on the goods. Just put an order in for more…without signature requirements. 
It's always a tease knowing it's so close, sitting in a delivery truck somewhere. Like @TampaPete said, another form of delayed gratification. Probably still in your neighborhood when you get the "missed you" notice. lol I've been known to hunt them down on the street and twist their arm! I buy whisky from Europe often and this happens every once in a while. Nice haul.First time ordering from this company and the shipping I chose required a signature.

Thanks!
Yesterday I drove an hour to get there. 5 minutes from the house I got another email saying they changed the delivery time to later that evening. So I changed directions again, got 30 mins down the road and got a sorry we missed you email
I have a honest disdain for UPS in my neck of the woods. We used to raise show livestock when the kids were little and I’d have to track the truck down to get thousands of dollars worth of “breeding “ material from them so we didn’t miss a cycle for animals to be bred. I use the big brown truck as little as possible now.
