Small TAD purchase today at Watch City. Quite small actually, considering the commendable posts y'all are putting up lately! All new blends to me but doubled up on Old Dominion as I'm pretty sure I'll dig it and might not be able to buy it again. Hope I don't enjoy these WCC blends too much though, as several will be gone and others will change when re-blended. Hearing good things about Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader, so I finally picked up a tin of it as well. First TAD purchase of 2025 in the books!

Like I said, "hoping"

I didn't realize it came in such long flakes. I've head it ages wonderfully
It does, and it does! I just worked my way through a tin from 2016. It was fabulous! It’s really good fresh, too. I’ve ordered and traded for about 3lbs of it in the last couple of weeks. Definitely one of my favorite blends.

Definitely agree with this. I don't even remember what it tasted like fresh. I stocked up on this one back in 2013 and still smoke that stash semi-regularly today. Good stuff, indeed!

I've also heard it's rather mediocre fresh, honestly I really like the idea of buying tobacco then waiting years before digging in. I was able to acquire some HH Full Virginia that I probably won't even open until I smoke up my current open VA jars.

My dad recently stumbled upon my cellar. He asked me why I have so much tobacco (if he only knew about my open jar drawer too lol). I was honest and explained the STG situation so much of it I got because it was now or never and the rest of it I bought for long term aging. He understood and said he doesn't care how I spend my money and that it's a good thing he found it and not my mom

Been lovin' on OJK for a while now along with occasional Haunted Bookshop. Starting to get burley fatigue. That plus having an oriental craving leads me to all all Virginia blend buy with a half-pound each of Bayou Morning and another stab at Oriental Silk.
