Here's a first of the year order I put together from various sources, including my B&M. More of a restocking/filling out than a serious bout of random TAD ordering, I suppose. Except for the Pipeworks elements, it's all in the cellar or on the way. I have to remember to call Carole before work (time zones... this post is something of a reminder to self)
500g Rattray: Black Mallory
500g Escudo Navy de Luxe
150 g Peterson's Luxury Blend
150 g Peterson's Connoiseur's Choice
100g McClelland Easy Street
1 lb. Proper English
8 oz Sasha Plus
4 oz shortcut to mushrooms
1 lb. Wilke 193
8 oz Wilke 400
8 oz Grammercy Park
I expect I'll add some of Sterling's selections, once I've gotten through the sampling phase.

MCC Black Parrott , MAC BAREN Scottish Mixt ,MAC BAREN Vanilla Flake ,MCCONNELLS Scottish Flake x10 , 3Noggins x four lbs .
Just ordered in a fairly good order: G.L. Pease Maltese Falcon and Chelsea Morning, MacB Black Ambrosia, and Villiger 1888 Mid-Day. 100g of each, excepting the Mid-Day, of which I purchased 50g.
I wish I had the resources to purchase several pounds of tobacco, like some of y'all. Oh well...I have many, many years to cellar. Unless the gov't decides it wants to take away my rights.

Individual tins:
Escudo Navy Deluxe
Presbyterian Mixture
Gordon Pym
Dorisco Mixture
These are my first non-aromatic tobaccos. I enjoyed a bowl of Presbyterian earlier, though it will take me awhile to consciously appreciate the flavours. To put it simply, I liked it. I got Escudo to be my first VaPer, Pym to be my first taste of Syrian latakia, and Dorisco to be my first combination of Perique and Latakia at once. I have pipes dedicated to each style so I can get used to their particulars without any ghosting.
Got another order on the way, going to place a bigger one when it arrives.

My TAD struck harder this week than it has so far;
Starting at my local B&M, I bought a tin (50g) of Petersons Irish Flake with the atrocious marked price of $32.99...normally, I would have walked away, but I felt for the poor proprietor, so I caved.
Well, once I got home, I loaded up a flake, and enjoyed it so much, I hit up 4noggins for another 4 tins (200g - gotta love the Canadian import laws, eh?).
Since I was already there, I decided to place a couple more orders;
Order 2 (for the cellar):
4x 50g tins - Dan Tobacco Vanilla Honeydew
Order 3 (for sampling):
2oz - Bald Headed Teacher bulk
2oz - Peter Stokkebye Black Truffle bulk
2oz - Hearth and Home Butternut Burley bulk
Then, seeing as I was already on the net, I decided to try out a couple of tobacco's from Sterling, picking up (for immediate smoking). In a stretch of awesomeness, the proprietor is splitting this into two orders, and tossing in 2.5oz of his house blend with one.
2.5oz - My Buddy
2.5oz - Double Eagle
2.5oz - Club House

With the current frenzy of tobacco buying, I've been sitting on the
sidelines, since the past few years have been spent quietly building the
cellar... Then, I discovered I like the new Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls &
the Flake. OK, so after securing a few sleeves of each I still had the
itch. I pulled the trigger on a few bricks of Wessex Gold Brick.
This ought to do it for awhile....
