100g Germain's Medium Flake (at last!), bulk. Naturally, went out of stock the same day, but at least I snagged some. And very nice it is, too.
Soooo, I may need a divorce lawyer.
Not because my wife is angry about my recent purchases, but because while I was setting these tins out, she said I had a mental disorder!!!!
I recently mentioned I was putting my newly acquired tins in a box. Today I'm officially adding them to the cellar. Here is the take from the last few months....a couple from last Fall...and the two Peterson were from a trade with @khiddy .
All the others are from SP, Mars, and P&C. There is also another 5 pounds of bulk jarred up.....maybe more.
Sometimes things just happen.
Oh, Ive also bought 4 pipes, including a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Watson that showed up today....along with a Comoy I bought from a member.

Its cheaper than a divorce lawyer to just mail it to me.
The tobacco isn't the issue....it's the WIFE that's the issue.
But I will gladly send her to you.
Eh….. I already have the same issue on the home front. I don’t need two nuclear bombs, one is more than I can handle
A match for Dunhill Elizabethan to go in the cellar for now. And thin pipe cleaners, always jolly handy.
I've always only used 2 blends at a time and 95% of the time it's C&D. Was on a OJK and Oriental Silk kick for the last 4 months but decided to tweak that by buying a half-pound each of bayou morning and OJK, giving the OS a rest.
Check with the manufacturer...she probably still has some trade-in value. Upgrade to a newer model and all that. They usually need a new muffler past a certain age anyway.
Now cars, on the other hand...
Got a Butz-Choquin Mirage estate pipe coming in, a nicely grained bent apple.
Also, a tin of Ravenwood Tennesse Summer.

Just added a 500g bag of Bosun Cut Plug to the strategic reserve. Four small mason jars filled and a few ounces left to share at pipe club.
Picked it up from @lukasstrifeson , a swell fellow to trade with.

That he is, I didn’t post it here, but the pound of Black Irish X he had is bolstering my stash
25 lbs. of 507-C waiting to be sealed in Mylar baggies. This blend is likely to end up being what I’m smoking most of the time for the rest of my pipe smoking days. It’s very nice.
Strategic reserves…. Got enough for a small army?
Just recieved another small order from Nova Pipes and Tobacco.
Ive never tried any of the Peter Henrichs. I know it's not what it used to be, not much is. But I'll let it sit a few years and try it. Then got a tin of Pesse Canoe #40. This is the first hinged pipe tobacco tin I've seen. It's also a very small tin. I'd assume this will be great for traveling.
Never mind the gremlin in the background. He loves to photo bomb.

I’m enjoying some 507c that I jarred three years ago right now. It is, indeed, very nice.
So…. Not a large army, but enough to overthrow a small middle eastern dictatorship.
