A mix of one offs, some re-supplies, and some C&D small batch madness:

Picked this up at a local shop just yesterday. Very fortunate for me since I had a flight booked this past Thursday that I changed to today, and they got their stock in on Friday. A nice way to wrap the year up:

Hell yeah dude! Some great choices here. That Sweated is fetching insane money on TinBids. Not that you’d ever dream of scalping baccy…at 500% markup.

So I went to Muletown in a carpool with a group from my local B&M. When I went to the B&M the following weekend, one of the gentlemen that attended with us exclaimed, "there's Mr Moneybags!", leaving me totally confused, lol. He then showed me tinbids and it clicked.

Anyway, I don't think I'll ever sell anything unless I somehow become unable to smoke anymore. Everything gets smoked (and shared) eventually :)

Noticed several members mentioning KBV tobacco and had no clue what it was. Thanks to Google placed an order this morning with Ken Bryon Ventures. Last order for 2025? Maybe 😉
I feel bad for you because you may have just entered a rabbit hole lol. I resisted KBV for a few years then decided to just try a few of their blends. Now I’ve got a portion of my cellar dedicated to KBV. I hope you enjoy their stuff. Let us know what you get.

A fun aspect of this thread is sharing what you ordered, ideally in a photograph.
Letting us know you ordered “something” isn’t nearly as cool or fun as telling us WHAT you ordered.

So, what did you get from KBV, @IrishBadger?
Order just placed this am so no pic yet. Selected mostly Va/Per and one English in 2 oz samples. Will show off my haul with a pic when it arrives. Cheers
