Same. Grabbed a couple tins of eight state and a few more capstan blue. Still building the cellar
Had a sneaky little TAD, just a couple of OGS, another Ashton Gold Rush to put some time on and pouches of St Bruno RR and Gold Block, which I've blended together into "Ogden's Mixture" and put in a jar to reach maturity by Saturday. That's TAD in denial, I admit.
I’ve never bought a new release when new, so I bought 2 tins of Eight State, one to try and one to save.
I have a few tins of the last issue of ESB and might pick up some of this.
But I noticed that Three Nuns is on sale so I will definitely be adding a couple of tins to the cellar.

McConnel’s Scottish Cake, GLP Kelly’s Coin and Cumberland, C&D DFK, PS400 LNF, D&R Three Sails, and pipe cleaners.
Right on the money!!!:

Latest vintage haul. Between 2012-2020. Im particularly excited to crack the 2012 Dunhill and 2020 Mature. The Christmas Cheer is for Christmas only.
My first TAD purchase of the year, although i feel it reignited it... At $160 on a Fbook group, It was too good of a price to pass up, and the guy through in a tin of '23 eight state burley. Excited to try the Penny Farthing & Fire Storm! Curious about the hay bale slices and Virginia Cream, and tried most of the others.
Had to pull the trigger on some more HU stuff. Stocked up on a few i liked from the first 2 runs and threw in a few new ones to try along the way.
Here's the Tally:
5 x Dockworker (one of my favorites)
2 x Nebari (liked this oriental from them the best so far)
2 x Haymaker (already had a couple, so stocking up, another great one)
1 x Flanagan (i still have about a tin and a quarter of this, but good enough for a TAD more)
100g Edward G. (to try, including @Sigmund 's HU Delight recipe!)
50g St Bernard (to try)
50g HU Reserva Limitada Rocinante (had to try, cigar language) :P
50g HU Reserva Limitada Cervantes (ditto the above)

West Duluth Smoke Shop didn’t have any pipe tobacco… so I got cigars instead.
This stuff keeps showing up at the door 
The Deadwoods are still my favorite line. I like the slight sweetness along with the overall dark construction.
Add the sweet cap and a very convenient size, and that makes the Janes my personal pick for best overall.
At least, in the “under $15 each” category
One tin of gl pease Horizons to to try before I stock up on it.
8state is a favorite of mine. Mine grab a couple more locally.
Another tiny tad, heavy on the Burley.
Just a guess, but I'm inclined to think you like Bob's CH Flake.
Today my first shipment from Boswell arrived: 2oz of Military Force, 2oz of G&H Louisiana Flake, 2oz of Kendal No.7 Unscented, 2 tins of C&D Dreams of Kadath, and one tin of the long-awaited McConnell Paddington. Can't wait to break open some bags and tins and smoke like royalty!
