As a European I always envied you Americans, with websites like smokingpipes and so much choice💔. Well now ive found a way around the fact that they don't ship to Belgium!

Thanks to a fellow member of the pipe community, i get to have these blends that I wouldn't be able to get normally!
(+Some stuff that was simply cheaper in the US of A)

Awesome! Going to let all the tins age and I will mylar the bulk Tomorrow 😃😃

You lucky "son of a gun". And you are in Belgium, central Europe, with so much choice to pick from. Now imagine me, poor "son of a gun" living in the middle of the Atlantic, without any B&M at hand... Enjoy them and let us know how good they are.

Small TAD purchase today at Watch City Cigar. All are new blends for me except for Old Dominion. I'm still trying out a variety of blends to figure out what I like best. Once I narrow in on a few favorites I likely start going deep rather than wide. For now I'm just going to enjoy all the different varieties available out there.

Ah.. I have a tin of the Cobblestone Cafe Mocha Flake. Didn't care for it when I got it, I need to try it again. It's been jarred since early fall I think.

And interestingly enough, I dug it back out and really enjoyed it. I ordered another tin. 🤪 I apparently just need to wait for either the tin to age a little or my tastes to change a lot.

Don't wait too long.
The WCC flakes are either going away or changing dramatically with the demise of you know what.
As they all say here, get it while you can.

Oh yeah, I'm aware. While I was there a few weeks ago, I got a one minute rundown on what will be gone, and what might be re-blended. The re-blended list was very short and won't likely be exactly the same. I've given up on the notion of accumulating a significant amount of any disappearing blends that quickly anyway. I've added a bit of extra here and there to extend my enjoyment a little, but I'll likely find some new gems anyway with all that is still available.

Very cool. I’d love to go there sometime. I want to shake Ernie’s hand cuz I’m such a fan.

Also, that’s a very healthy take on tobacco collecting.
