That ACP is just so good. So easy going. Have you tried Quint’s Own and Delixe Crumb Cut? Also excellent and in a similar genre.
I love what Ernie does.

Yes, these cabinets go 1 foot deep.
No, those tins on the left aren't all CAO Cherrybomb... Yes, they are almost half Magnum Opus and Bengal Slices..
Yes, they were mostly filled in the last 2 months.
No, they still don't represent more than 1/4 of my panic buying (the rest mostly Sutliff bulk pounds/KBV)
Yes, I have a mental disorder.
No, I'm not greedy.. most of the tin dates are from 2023 and I gotta pay credit card debt just like anyone else.
Yes, I definitely have a mental disorder.
No, my gf would still not leave me even if she knew how bad it was (God knows why..)
Yes, this is a cry for help... 😅

I just received a couple more pounds of Sutliff Match Victorian, from TPcom.
Of interesting note:
-the (what I’ve come to believe are) date codes have moved to top right of label, and the SKU is now at top left. I find it odd that they changed the label on a blend that is being discontinued very soon.
-there’s moisture condensate in the bags.
-I paid for economy shipping, and they shipped priority. Ordered placed Wed ~10:45am and was in my mailbox in under 50hrs.

Honest question, do you find the quality of theirs to be better than the Peterson/Dunhill Elizabethan or is it just a price thing? I've never tried it but I've seen this (anecdotally) seems to be one of their most popular bulks/matches... just wondered why when the "original" is still readily available...

It's based on the Murray's version, not the STG version, so the profile is a bit different.
