Sure but then you made great choices, so, well done.
Shooting for a little more depth than width currently…
Seems funny that a year ago I’d have never thought I’d have 5+ pounds of one blend, and actually be thinking that may not be enough

Interesting that this is a match blend for Elizabethan Mixture. Which means the new owner STG is the producer of the target blend.Shooting for a little more depth than width currently…

Actually, it’s a match blend for the Murray’s (pre-STG) Elizabethan Mixture.
I was able to try a sample of the STG Elizabethan Mixture recently-that’s what promoted me to go heavy on the Match Victorian
YMMV, but I may be able to force myself to finish the sample, maybe.
got my 3 pounds of Match Victorian in today, it's only behind 1792 and Dark Plug for most tobacco by weight in my stashActually, it’s a match blend for the Murray’s (pre-STG) Elizabethan Mixture.

Latest purchase from P&C during their 20% sale.
Only P&C would put stickers right on top of the content labels on baggies
That drives me nuts.Only P&C would put stickers right on top of the content labels on baggies
Right? I tried to peel it off but the content label came off with it. I had to read the labeling from the backside to see what what blend it is. Oh well, I can tolerate it for 20% discount.Only P&C would put stickers right on top of the content labels on baggies
Big order coming in from SP today after USPS posting delivery date multiple times! I’m so excited!!!!!
I love seeing orders like this.
Thanks for sharing.

I take it you'll put in a real order after you've tried all these samples?
Also forgot to include a couple of old boy lighters I got. I’m a sucker for a good sale. 
A blend may change, so does your sense of taste. That's a big investment for a young smoker! looks great thoughI am a few months over a year into my pipe smoking journey and I can't seem to find a bulk flake Va/VaPer I like more than what PS/ES is offering. For that matter, I struggle to find any affordable tobacco I enjoy more; burley, english, aromatics included. Even if you add ribbon cut bulk into the mix, ES 4th Gen Evening Flake and PS400 Luxury Navy Flake are top two on my list and they don't break the bank. The flavor and presentation are on point. I constantly find myself reaching for them and smoking it all before they can get any age. Just can't put the stuff down
Being new, I'm still learning how companies are involved in various blends. I learned that while Evening Flake is blended by Erik Stokkebye, it seems to be manufactured by Mac Baren. So in light of the recent news, the political atmosphere, and a 15% off sale, I made my largest bulk purchase to date of 39oz. Just enough to get free shippingIt's saving me money in the long term on a favorite blend ($3/oz even, including taxes). Tobacco isn't getting any cheaper, right? Right??
And, it's giving me a little safety net if the blend does happen change. Either way, I'm going to enjoy smoking all of it and am excited for some of it to get a little age.
It sure is beautiful... 18 jars, so a hair over 2oz each. I already 2 4oz jars in my cellar. So, I expect in total this will last me 3-5 years if I continue smoking other blends as well.
