TAD Acquisitions 2024

I am un expectedly away from home (In hospital) and my other half said 'there are some packages for you, Tins and bags of something soft - what have you buying now?'

I've been found out!! I was hoping to sneak in my recent tobacco purchases undetected but fate had other ideas!

Here's hoping you recover well, from both incidents.

@beerandbaccy Yes, recover quickly!

I haven’t posted in this thread in a couple years, but time to start padding the stock pile. STP Irish Meadows and IMP, Curly Block and a couple tins of SH Best Brown Flake (not pictured).

Live and learn my buddy sends it to my house . I only take a small commission to keep his secret (.25oz of each blend lol). Hope all is well

Picked up a few things for the cellar but got some new things. Black Irish X just straight up intrigues me based on the reviews lol

Been smoking a latakia mixture the last few months due only to having my every 6 months desire for it combined with recent chronic non-stocking of my favorite burley blend, OJK. As expected, my desire for latakia is about to peeter out and still no OJK in stock. So wanting a burley blend, picked up Haunted Bookshop again which I haven't had in years-3/4 pounds. Years ago smoked it regularly for a few but abandoned it as I thought it bland. Hopefully it will adequately scratch my burley itch this time around. Even HB had been out of stock for some time.

The HB came in today. So, put away the latakia blend for the foreseeable future and fired up the HB. It's no OJK, but it is a serviceable burley-perique blend and an adequate OJK substitute as the perique in it is more notable than I recalled.

I’m smoking through a tin of that speakeasy from c&d right now. It’s pretty darned good.

Growing pains with being new to the hobby….
I’m stoked my box came in, but stocking up on tobaks I know I like when they’re on sale doesn’t spur quite the same excitement as the mailman bringing anticipated “never tried” new blends.

Ordered from The Country Squire:
4oz Lamb with Jam (that will bring me up to 1/2 pound in the cellar)
2oz Ruins of Windsor

Home after my fairly long spell in hospital and opened my small pack of tobaccos that arrived while i was away:

A 50g Pouch of Cube silver
A 50g Tin of Gawith & Hoggarth Kentucky Blend
A 25 g pouch of GH New Prince
A 50 g pouch of GH American Delite

American Delite is one of my regular mellow smokes, but I bought the other three just to try. Has anyone had any othe others? Thoughts?

(The Americans can also appreciate the "lovely" pictures we Brits get on our tins these days too!!)

The funny thing about those pictures is my gums are a beautiful shade of light pink. All you have to do is floss and brush twice daily.

Very happy to acquire two more tins of late 70s Dobies Four Square Curlies (and a couple stickers) from my pal Brandon.

I'd like to see how that cuts dense European made plugs like Peterson's 3Ps. Let us know. Cheers.

This griswold tobacco cutter came in today. Got an amazing deal and will be a future resto project.

Last day in Japan first purchase of 2024View attachment 278949

Where did you get it? I stopped by Ginja Kikisui and picked up some Tsuge blends. The guys there didn't speak English but were really helpful via Google translate. Japan has been my all time favorite country I have ever travelled to, talk about kind and respectable people
