TAD Acquisitions 2025

[AcesAndEights]

This purchase is a direct result of joining this forum. I had never heard of Watch City but after I saw numerous good comments, I knew I had better make sure I was not missing out on quality tobacco. So here is my first group to sample. Cheers!

I just opened a jar of Old Dominion that I squirreled away in 6/22. Really good stuff. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in your purchases!

I've never had any of those, but they look excellent.

They are.

Bright CR is a Virginia. Some people detect a slight Lakeland floral in it but I do not at all. Pure VA flake to me.

Louisiana Flake is a vaper that some get chocolate and floral, I only get the chocolate notes

Bob’s Chocolate Flake is very unique with a perfect amount of latakia. It’s neither chocolatey or anywhere near a lat bomb, far from it. Hard to describe so I’ll leave that to the supertasters

Thanks for the info. I went over to watchcity to look at some, but they are all out of stock at the moment. I'll have to keep my eyes open and see if I can find some.

Esoterica Dunbar and Dorchester. It pays to develop a good relationship with your Tobacconist!

Bobs chocolate flake is one of my favorites. I get non stop dark chocolate and cocoa. The lat is perfectly balanced and doesnt take over. My newest stock is from 2022 and it is aging beautifully

It is a remarkable blend and one I hope to never be without.

Technically this was a Neerup PAD acquisition, but I couldn’t resist trying 5 new-to-me blends.
