TAD Acquisitions 2024

[username]

I FINALLY acquired the ever elusive SG St. James Flake. Took about 35 minutes of dealing with the crashing SP site. Guess everyone wants this stuff. Now lets hope I like it. Hahaha!

I managed to grab 6 tins and one tin of fire dance looking forward to trying fire dance as I really enjoy the snuff of that one.

Very nice!

Another tiny tad. I still haven't even tried the first three Toscano Maestro blends yet.

Eventually though, I'll get around to trying one of these 140+ blends I haven't had yet that are sitting in my cabinet.

just 2 pouches of aromatics I like...

I'm showing this to my wife. If this doesn't give me comparative TAD immunity, nothing will...

It’s a free-to-use service I’m happy to provide for you all! This is my only “baller” purchase ever, and I don’t plan on repeating the spectacle anytime soon, so get it while it’s hot.

Your logic is flawless.

 

[AcesAndEights]

I mean, at 40% off, may as well try one of everything, right?

The grain on that pipe is outstanding.

Thanks! He did a great job and graded it a 4C. Still have yet to get a 5 from him.

Last bits for this year:
50 grams each of Ravenwood Tobacco Gates of Argonath and Leaves of Athelas. I really like Ravenwood blends so far (what can I say, I'm a sucker for Middle Earth themed blends.)

And as a Christmas present to myself a Savinelli Roma Lucite 122. This will be both the first Savinelli and the first Pot shaped pipe in my collection.

Just traded for some AP to sit in the cellar, trying to stock up on Bright Night where I can, RIP.

I just opened my one and only tin of Bright Night a week ago. It is a nice smoke indeed.

I had 5 tins of AP, smoked some but it wasn't what I was searching for at the time, cellared it. Wind forward a few years, I came back to it and scarfed it all up, one tin after another. I took bad to its unavailability thereafter. Couldn't tell you about the perique, there's a bit of everything in that blend, but you know you're smoking tobacco.

One of my favorite straight VA's, sad its going away.

One of my favorite smokes. Have a fair bit of it stashed away at this point but I keep adding where I can. I started smoking a pipe the year it became discontinued, 2020.

Welcome home. Time to start jarring them.
