TAD Purchases

[collin]

Today the mailbox was a treasure chest for sure!
I'm a happy happy man! :mrgreen:
One pound of pure heaven in a flake!

 

[python]

That is sweet Tommy! I am expecting a half of a pound of it myself :puffpipe:

Opened my first tinned tobacco yesterday - Royal Yacht. Different than I expected (although very new so maybe didn't know what to expect). Enjoyed it, but need a couple more samples to make an informed decision.
Expecting delivery this afternoon (hopefully waiting for me at home already) of 7 Seas Gold and GL Pease Maltese Falcon.
I stopped in to my local B&M this afternoon to ask about the blend they recommneded a couple weeks back and learned it is in fact Lane 1Q, which I've enjoyed.
Suggestions on what to have tonight? 1Q, Royal Yacht, 7 Seas or Maltese Falcon?

Tommy,
Would you mind sharing where you got the Penzance?
Sean,
Try the 1Q, it will be a nice counter to Royal Yacht.

Thanks William. I'm actually excited about the 2 new ones, so I may go with new ones.
I'm trying to get a well rounded exposure to different types and blends as I'm interested in building the cellar at some point soon.
NOTE TO SELF: start having them shipped to the office rather than home. Wife arrives before me and this TAD may start becoming more apparent than I like!

Got lots of goodies today,
16oz of my beloved Irish Creme

8oz Mild Burley

8oz Old Companion

8oz Anniversary Cake
A tin of Mac Baren virginia flake -- to be opened upon graduation from univeristy
a tin of Oriental 996 -- to be opened upon repayment of my student loans
A tin of Dark Star that sounds a bit rattly and dry that I may have to open and make sure isn't dried out -- which will either result in smoking on the spot or stocking in a ball jar afterwards, to be smoked upon finding the girl I plan on marrying. Or if I do end up smoking it on the spot due to it being dried I suppose I'll replace it with something else for that occasion.
Okay I opened it and I suppose it was just the unique tinning that caused the sound -- perfectly moist and aeromatic tobacco. In fact, it smelled so fine without even thinking about it a chewed a small bit of it. . . which taught me a lesson I honestly thought I was done learning all over again. Just because it smells good does not mean I should eat it (anecdotally an example of this is when I absently bit a girl in high-school during a heavy-petting session because she smelled like strawberries) -- on the plus side it wasn't the most unpleasant thing I've put in my mouth this way -- which when you think about it is kinda sad. . ..
Anyway I'll have a bowl of this since it's open anyway and store the rest for that girl thing I mentioned a bit back heh heh. Well, I'll actually msoke a bit later. . . since my mouth kinda just tastes like toothpaste now.

Found a new Pipes Ltd. store in the mall of the town about 30 minutes away and they had Squadron Leader in bulk and C&D Super Balkan :D

 

[igloo]

Boy everyone is going to have to get a bigger cellar .

 

[yoru]

Nah I got slots of room

Received 10 tins of Escudo today which seems to have put me in the mood for a bit more.

Just ordered from pipesandcigars.com:
200g Early Morning Pipe

1lb Ten to Midnight

100g Grand Orientals: Drama Reserve

50g Grand Orientals: Yenidje Supreme

 

[yoru]

How do you like that Ten to Midnight obelus? Been thinking of getting some.

 

[obelus]

I think it is well worth the price (which is pretty terrific when you compare it with other similar quality/tasting tobacco)-- a nice medium strength latakia-rich blend that's kind of fun to play with. I'd tell you to order a couple of ounces and see if you like it, but the shipping costs will kill you; they more than double the price. Maybe work a bit into a larger order-- they do samplers, as you probably know-- but more fun to put your own together.

I stopped by Goodfellas today and grabbed a tin of Solani X Sweet Mystery and a 25g bag of McClelland Raspberry Cream. I've been dying to try the Solani ever since I ran out of PS Black Currant Cavendish.

Nice pick ups everyone!

I’ve heard so many smokers talking about Squadron Leader that I've been wanting to try some. Last night after watching someone pay a truly unholy amount of cash for a single tin of it, I broke down and ordered some.
Last Night:
Squadron Leader……4 oz (bulk)
Frog Morton on the Town…..200g (tins)
This morning I went to the shelf for some tobacco and noticed two 100g tins of Frog Morton on the Town that I had put on the wrong shelf and therefore forgot about! CHA-CHING!!

:mrgreen:

 

[menckenite]

Tommy, I hope you enjoy Squadron Leader.
I picked up a can of JackKnife Plug and 1/2 lb. of Penzance today.
