Virginia/Kentucky blend. Indaba is labeled as just a VA/Kentucky and Navigator is a VA/Kentucky with rum.What an HU VA/Kentucky?
I thought you said you are still looking for a VA/Kentucky blend to buy yes? If so, what company? That’s why I asked if you are looking for a VA/Kentucky style of a blend from HU.
Yes, that's why I bought a tin of Navigator and Indaba to try. Hopefully one of them will fit the profile I want to cellar. I enjoyed a tin of Sixpense, but would have liked it better without the perique and Old Dark Fired didn't give me what I wanted. Perhaps one of these will.
Noted, and I appreciate the suggestion! I guess my post makes it sound like I'm more irate than I actually am; really, it's more their loss than mine. The deeper I stock my cellar, the less I find the need for anything other than SP. This was just an aberration, I guess; it's hard to find those cigarillos to begin with, and getting them for less than $7 a pack just made my inner bargain hunter jump for joy.
I will certainly keep 4N in mind, but in looking at my cellar and the last couple things I deem it should have, it would appear that SP will be able to meet my needs beyond any doubt. Which is just as well--California could send the ship full Orwell ahead at the drop of a hat, and I'm confident I'll be in the lifeboat well before then.
Wasn’t wowed at first and had no interests in buying more. Like many Pease blends, after you smoke them a bit they really grow on you. If you like Perique and Latakia, go for it. It’s also strong on nicotine.

Just thought I’d let you know on my latest…
Placed order Oct. 30th, shipped on the 31st and received it today.
All I can is, that was speedy…
Be well!
Picked up 4oz of Watch City's Rouxgaroux over the weekend. Only one bowl in, but I'm looking forward to spending some time with this blend.
Peterson University Flake from a week ago but didn't post it. I enjoyed my first tin of UF quite a bit, and thought it worthy of another go around. I'll be waiting until we're a bit closer to the holidays before popping this tin.

Two thirds of my order. USPS lost a tin of Orlik’s at some point. My original plan to start with light to no Perique and work up has been spoiled—oh well.
Had a bowl of Hal O’ the Wynd and really enjoyed it.

Just got some Hal O' the Wynd on my last order a few months ago. Great stuff! Their other blends are great, too. I really love Bagpiper's Dream.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to add that one to my try list. HOTW is very tasty and well behaved right out of the tin. I’ve laid it out to dry a little more.
I’m assuming @tmc and @Servant King you both know that’s J.R. Bob Dobbs in your avatars?

I can’t remember if we chatted about this before @Servant King
I know of Bob, because I use Slackware; The Slackware Linux Project - http://www.slackware.com/
Pat the creator of Slackware has always had him as a mascot logo of sorts…
Bob and Slackware are synonymous in the world of Linux.

Nah, that's my uncle. My brother was crushed to death under an avalanche of hoarded Captain Black Grape cans when the discontinuation was announced some years back. Insurance company tried for years to weasel their way out of that one, but to no avail. The compensatory funds have long since been put into a mix of STG stock and asbestos futures.

In deed. Though, I’m more of a BSD guy, if I’m being honest. I wasn’t aware of the Slackware connection.I’m assuming @tmc and @Servant King you both know that’s J.R. Bob Dobbs in your avatars?

But to go back on topic...my lucky ass has one tin of Dunhill Aperitif coming my way. There's no TAD quite like unicorn TAD!
Unicorn TAD is dangerous. I splurged on a tin of Christmas Cheer a few months back. Now, will I ever have the nerve to pop it open and set fire to it?
I sure hope so because it tastes way better when it’s smoldering in a pipe than fermenting in a tin.Unicorn TAD is dangerous. I splurged on a tin of Christmas Cheer a few months back. Now, will I ever have the nerve to pop it open and set fire to it?
Life’s too short and we’re never owed time.
Smoke it while you can.
One tin of Butera's Royal Vintage Matured Ribbon dated from 1994 and ten tins of Pipe Force Episode III. Several of the tins are weighing in heavy suggesting they have the challenge coins inside.
Slack v0.99 was my first Linux back in 1994, afair. Installed from about 27 floppy disks lol. That set me on a path which I'm still living off, via a pension. Thanks, Bob.I’m assuming @tmc and @Servant King you both know that’s J.R. Bob Dobbs in your avatars?
