It's good stuff and to be fair it practically crumbled to a ready rub with minimal handling.
TAD Acquisitions 2024

Added some more favorites to the cellar. There might be more nightcap in my cellar than any other blend now.
Got a pound of Exclusive, Bayou Morning, and Poplar Camp. All great stuff definitely what I'm into for now!
Received half a pound of Haunted Bookshop this week. I haven't smoked any of this in 5 years. When I first sampled it, I wasn't a huge fan, but knowing what I know now, it's going to be right up my alley, especially if I let it age for a year or 2 (or 10). My first sampling straight out of the bag tastes good.
My TAD years are almost at an end. I'm just ordering bulk of a few things and putting them down to rest in Mylar, for when the tobbacocalypse finally arrives. (Did I spell that right?

Are we just going to gloss over green apple Captain Black?
Thanks. It’s basically a tadpocalypse amount of Marlin flake for me because it’s not one of my daily drivers. I’m planning on setting it back to age. For some reason that blend just sings for me in a specific cob that I have. The bent Louis model from MM. Never had Old Gowrie before.

Captain Black seems to have released 2 new flavors: Green Apple and Watermelon in Japan. Not sure if it’s available elsewhere.
I would crush some CB Green Apple right now 
Oh wow, watermelon too. It seems like all for foreign markets. All the image searches shoe labels in Arabic, Cyrillic (sp?), or Japanese. Interesting.
Get a hankering for latakia about once every 6 months. So just ordered a half pound of Stratfordshire and a half pound of bayou morning. I find that if I don't mix in non-latakia blends with latakia blends, I'll burn out on the latakia much quicker. Stratfordshire is a very nice Scottish blend.
I've got so many jars in rotation now I just buy stuff and throw it in a big chest. So far this year I've gotten:
2x MacBaren Royal Twist
1x Sutliff Krampusnacht
1x Sutliff Cringle Flake
4 oz. SG Burnt Ends
3x C&D House Reserve 2021

In today’s episode of “I must’ve missed my psych meds”, my package of new to me blends was in the mailbox when I got home: GH&Co Dark Birdseye, JackKnife Plug, and Half and Half, and I was more eager to try the Half and Half than the serious stuff!
