TAD is killing me!

[cigrmaster]

gunnar, nice haul man. Someone was a happy camper today. Enjoy!

 

[mrgunnar177]

Thanks cigrnaster! A very happy camper indeed! Just kinda frustrated that I ha e this bad cough and sore throat so smoking would just irritate it more. Oh well hopefully I'll be better by tomorrow and will be able to crack some tins open!

Nice stash of baccy. I have to second that I typically shop off smokingpipes.com. Always great prices on tobacco and usually better prices on pipes. Plus, I love the estates section. Keep waiting for another system Peterson to come in for $60.

Nice stash, Gunnar ! The only thing missing is some good old Irish Flake, that'd take care of your cold, sore throat, and just about anything else for a while.

 

[mrgunnar177]

I'm waiting to find the perfect bulldog. Well for me to decide which bulldog I want...it will be a Pete for sure.

Their estate section is really nice.

Thanks!

 

[mrgunnar177]

Thanks R! it's on my next TAD list, which will include lots of heavy nic and heavy lat blends. And of course holiday blends as they come out

 

[rcstan]

Good ! Remember that 4noggins stuff I sent you? Irish Flake is probably 2x the nic hit. Very tasty but extremely stout. Sort of like those $10 a bottle Porters.

 

[mrgunnar177]

:D I'll be looking forward to it then! I finished off that baccy that you gave me a week or so ago it was great!!

 

[mrgunnar177]

:D I got no complaints with those $10 bottles of porters!

The bulldog I'm waiting to pull the trigger on is a Peterson Irish Harp 150.

 

[mrgunnar177]

I was looking at the flame grain and I really like the rosslare finish, somkingpipes had one and that night I was able to come up with the money to buy it and it was already sold. This baccy order actually replaced the rosslare bulldog I was going to buy.

 

[rcstan]

It's good stuff! You should get some from 4noggins. Tastes better dry .

My next bulldog will be a 80s shape, preferably a Donegal, so it can match its brother, the Donegal 150 ....

 

[mrgunnar177]

Sweet! I'm going to order 4oz next TAD order which will be next month :D

 

[mrgunnar177]

Whats the difference between a 80 and an 80s? I like the bent ones

 

[jameral]

Nice stash you got there gunnar! I see you have a tin of Pelican and Kingfisher, two blends that I look forward to trying when I can get some. I also noticed your hat with the airplanes, are you into aviation?

 

[lordofthepiperings]

Surfing smokingpipes.com right now gunnar and they have a Rosslare Royal Irish 150 black sandblast available. Sorry if I've bummed ya lol. Not sure the difference in the 80 and 80s. I thought it was a saddle bit and a regular stem but I could be wrong.

 

[rcstan]

They are the same exact pipe except the "s" has a Saddle stem . I think they make them all "80s" now although there are some marked "80s" that are "80" configuration ( that is, without the saddle stem ).

 

[mrgunnar177]

Thanks! Yes! I have two tins of each. Lovely stuff but really Hard to find. It wa the tin art on the pelican and kingfisher that actually made me want to try pipe tobacco in the first place. However at the time they were instock ( 3 years ago) I was underage. By the time I turned 18 they were discontinued. Yes Iv been into aviation since I was a little little kid. My first word was actually Beechcraft. Iv flown a bonanza Beechcraft for 3 years with a retired Airforce General. Iv been flying radio control airplanes for 12 years. Also I used to build plastic models of airplanes and such. ( haven't had time recently) also Iv used flight simulators since I was about 3 year sold. My dad got me into aviation.

Cheers!

Gunnar

Arhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! :evil: If its still there by the end of the week I might make enough to buy it, not likely though. I didnt check their new stock today. Then again I ordered this 7 days ago when it was out of stock. Oh well
