The last shipment from my panic buying (this one included a couple of things to try, sans-panic). Looking forward to trying these Gawith flakes - thanks for the informative descriptions, @Skippy B. Coyote! I'll let you know my thoughts!
Enjoy the Ennerdale and Dark Flake Aromatic! Whether you love them or hate them, they're definitely going to be an exciting new taste experience. Just be careful with the Vitamin N content on that Dark Flake, it does have quite a kick!
I visited the Tacoma Tinder Box in search of stuff on the STG chopping block. All I found was some bulk Scottish Blend (I've jarred it up and it smells great, you can smell all the components), and Molto Dolce which I didn't get because I'm not a big aro smoker so I figured I'd let somebody else score it. I'd never heard of BRG mixture but I saws it was Sutliff so I went ahead and got it, Tobacco Reviews says it's discontinued and the last review was from 2014 so it looks like I just relieved them of a proverbial shelf turd. The EMP and Nightcap Match jars were both empty, as were the bulk Plum Pudding and Mississippi River ones. I also got some Maltese Falcon which I've long wanted to try, and some Gordan Pym which I never had any particular interest in but I've wanted to try Dan so I figured why not? Glad I was able to support GLP and Dan. I intended to get a few Tinder Box house blends but decided not to since I'm short on jars and they're made by Lane so they're likely safe.
Later on today I went to my local B&M and they finally restocked on PP and Crumble Kake so I got them too, I was already stocking up then the acquisition news hit and they sold out promptly. I really love Red VA so I'm glad I'll have at least four tins of Sutliff's since that flavor will possibly be lost forever.

Managed to get 5 tins of Cabbies before SP started acting funny, haven't seen it for sale here in like 4 years maybe? Maybe since 2020?
In before the new 71% wisconsin tax and the demise of my two favorite HH blends.
I had a few in my cart. Just couldn’t pull the trigger. Panic TAD got a bit out of hand for me over the last few months.
Talk about a double whammy!

Yup, indeed. Though I did put an order in yesterday for five tins of Cobblestone Hiking from a shop in Virginia. We shall see how that goes.
Except for gems like this I'm pretty much all set on buying at this point. Even got demoted on SP from Silver VIP to Bronze.I had a few in my cart. Just couldn’t pull the trigger. Panic TAD got a bit out of hand for me over the last few months.
I didn't even know that was possible. Do they also make you forfeit a portion of your cellar punitively? That's some fine print that'd be easy to miss...
I was otherwise engaged but later found a notification that Germain's Gold Leaf was back in stock, 4 tins max per customer. Whizzed onto the site, it was gone, missed it - I was 3.5 hours late to the punch.

Thread-jumping: I will defend the honor of my cellar with a chain saw!Apparently they get half
I saw a notice rather early about it but it had already vanished...
I've only had a sample and loved it.
Never been able to purchase any yet.
I really wanted to try some, but at 2X the price of other SG tins it was the wrong time for me to dabble without having ever even tried it.
Maybe someday it’ll come back.
I took a chance on P&C Thurs since they had over a pound of Match Victorian in stock, so I ordered a pound.By the time I got my shipping confirmation it looked like this:
I was happy to get package today and see a sealed pound not 4 individual mix and match baggies, but check the labels

I can’t deny hoping the same, until I looked at UPS tracking and saw 1.3# weight….
