Was C&D on sale?
I noticed about 8:30pm AZ time on the last day and couldn’t help getting in on it

I recently got a tin of Dark Moor.
I had never heard of it, but sinse I got it, I keep seeing and hearing about it.
It must be a message to pop the tin.

Nice haul. Although -- after buying a pound of bulk Exclusive -- i find i prefer it in the tin. The bulk is still good, but the perique has mellowed down a bit from all the air exposure, it's less intense and that's one distinct flavor profile i like at full strength. You're right about the Dark Moor. Good stuff.

Another small order from SP.

I recently tried that VA/Or flake myself from 4th Gen. Definitely not disappointed. They have some decent products. This one is on a list for a few more tins if/when i buy any baccy again. If it's your first time trying it i'd be curious to see what you think.

I’ve only had bulk, and enjoy it well enough. If it came in 8oz tins I’d probably grab some on sale.
I’m a cheap date…

I got a bunch of them a few years back, long before the end was nigh.
Good stuff, so I stuck several back into the cellar.
I listened to those who kept saying that things disappear; and I noticed prices only go one direction.

Yeah that's the thing.. even forgetting the other headwinds to tobacco... at the end of the day it's a commodity. As the dollar get worth less real stuff is worth more.

Ive only tried the 1982 from the 4th Generation series. Its a good aromatic in my opinion. I will report when I try the others.

Yet another small order from @Nova Pipes & Tobacco
Just enough to get free shipping.
I hate paying for a tin that I can't smoke!

After this last order, my tote is almost full. Around 100 tins.
My dedicated cellar area is out of space. These are from the last 4 months. They are stacked 6-8 high. But I am done for awhile....im broke!

But corn and hay selling season is coming. The tobacco flood gates just might open after that.

About 100 per tote? I never counted... Good to know.
I've got 5 totes jammed full + a couple hundred tins on my shelves looking back at me + bulk in jars.
Wow, I have more #'s than I thought!

Well, flat round, square and rectangular tins can be stacked deeper than C&D and 100 gram Rattrays style tins. And depending how you stack them, you may fit more or less than me. I just toss them in, no rhyme or reason.

Ordered from SmokingPipes this past weekend and am smoking one of the blends now. I think it was on Sunday?
I burley'd up with a box of 5 Bros, a can of Granger (new to me!) some Sutliff Burley Delight, and 4 oz of G&H Ennerdale Mixture, which is the one I loaded into my Linkman's DeLuxe Dublin. I am finding this an exciting switch from my typical rotation.
Way to go SmokingPipes.com! super fast shipping and handling.

I know they don’t always have the best reputation for customer service, but I have only had great experiences with LJP. The little hand-written note is always appreciated, too.

Small TAD today. My delivery of Sunbear arrived along with a few Fuente cigars and a Carrillo pledge 2025. Oh and some humidor solution. The lighter was my dad’s. It recently received a torch insert for cigars.

I got interested in Lumeniere after it appeared in a (Spoiler Alert!) SP Mystery Blend video, so I got a couple tins and a Cobbit Shire for my expanding English aro collection:

I smoke Luminaire often. Discovered it about a year ago and promptly stocked up. Hope you enjoy it as much as i do.

Tiny tad for an ever shrinking room for storage... I still need to try last year's Sun Bear, I'm getting backed up.

Today's mail call...

While out picking up my monthly dip rations, I decided to get a tub of Borkum Riff. I've never had it that I can remember. At $2 and ounce, what's the worse that could happen?
They have the aromatic version too. Both in these cans, and pouches for $4.99.
