TAD Acquisitions 2024

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Night Train is good. Still figuring it out. The Perique is more noticeable in the second half of the bowl. Very tasty combo of Virginia's and Burleys in this blend. I pick up more of a sweet and tangy dark red wine type of flavor. Kind of reminds me a little of LJ Peretti #8 Slice but not as Virginia forward and more Perique.

The tang really sold me on this blend. A tangy funky kind of note that just hooked me

Ben, you are my hero. That’s some burley! I have got to try Pegasus. Your love of it has me intrigued.

Finally came in after being lost in DC for a few days.

I'm probably done buying for the year now after receiving 5 tins of this year's Ravenwood 11th Day of Christmas.

This TAD thing has got to stop. Haha. First time ordering lbs of bulk in case these become hard to get. I am set for at least a week now. I might have a problem.

Supporting my B&M.

If you love it, prepare to buy it in the pounds. Which brings me to my main question, @BenMN , just curious as to the multiple tins versus buying in bulk?

Uuuuugh the only blender I want that I haven't panic bought from yet.

Christmas is expensive this year, y'all. Honey, no need to worry that you haven't bought anything for me yet...

Yeah, for sure!

Well, coupla reasons-

1) I think it's a screamin deal at both bulk and tin prices

2) only have Mason jar space for 1# right now, and

3) you jackals had already bought all the bulk Pegasus

 

[AcesAndEights]

I’m not panic buying. You’re panic buying!!

 

[Bbailey324]

Got some Cringle Flake and Aniseed Twist in a couple of days ago. I'm thinking about giving the Cringle Flake a few months at least before opening a tin. The Aniseed Twist is interesting.

 

[PapaCoolDown]

A couple packages arrived today.

Surfing Blue Room Briars and this Georg Jensen bent egg caught my eye.

No worries - thanks for the reply!

I was wondering if you had a preference between tins and bulk in regards to smoking qualities, being bulk can sometimes feel like it has been aerated more, against tinned. In my limited experience anyways. Especially with Pegasus, my stuff is only bulk and a couple of years old so has smoothed out quite a bit since my first few bowls.

And yes, tins or bulk is still very affordable.
