TAD Purchases

[collin]

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

Yee Haw!! Ain't that Penzance great???? :D
Thank-you William, I'm sure from the write ups on Squadron Leader that I've read, I'm sure I'm gonna like it. Let me know what you think of that JackKnife Plug....I may have to order some.

I'm glad I finally got to try some since it's a little hard to get right now. It is a good smoke.

Well, I hit up my B&M today and, surprise surprise I had a TAD attack!
I got:

3 oz. of Dunhill's Nightcap (it was on special: buy 2 get, 1 free)

1 oz. Chocolate ("house" blend smells like cocoa, thought I'd give it a whirl)

1 oz. Lane Ltd.'s Crown Achievement (the guy behind the counter didn't like the smell, English blends aren't his thing apparently)
Then I got home to find a package in the mail from a member here. He had seen that I had never tried Penzance so he sent me some! Plus, he included some Anniversary Kake with it! Talk about a great guy!
Needless to say, I've got some smoking to do to try out these new blends!

I just celebrated a birthday and I had an attack of TAD last night!!!!!
G.L. Pease: Meridian, Quiet Nights (2tins), Maltese Falcon, and Westminster
C&D: Sunday Picnic, Mississippi Mud, and Montford Point Marine
Captain Earl's Ten Russians
Low Country Waccamaw / I also got a tin of Frog Morton to add to the cellar
I can't wait to get this package in the mail. My local B&M does not sell C&D or G.L. Pease blends, so I am looking forward to trying all of these blends. :D

Nice pick ups everyone and Happy Birthday Crazeybobby!

Well,...a sad update to my last posts,...... Nixo-billy on the Squadron Leader.
It seems if you Google a tobacco and it brings up an etailers page with the tobacco you just Googled and shows it for sale, what you're looking at could be a "historical page",....it will even let you proccess an order.

Even if the tobacco has been sold out for a long time.
So the revised order:
MacBaren's Burley London Blend 8oz

McClelland's Frog Morton on the Town 300g

Dunhill's Standard Mixture 50g

Nice pick ups sparroa and crazeybobby and by the way, Happy Birthday to ya crazeybobby.
Tommy, I'm sad for you about the Squadron Leader. However, if you get desperate I have a source.

Came home last night with two new blends to try.
Dan Tobacco's Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend 8oz

MacBaren's Navy Flake tin.
So far, smoked the Navy Flake. Smoked great in my pipe, but I think I smoked it too fast, lol. Next time I'll try to slow down and enjoy it.

 

[menckenite]

bootleg,
You've discovered the trick to not only smoking MB Navy Flake but most Mac Baren's tobaccos. I hope you find the right rhythm for the NF because that's one of my favorites.
Here's what should be on my door step when I get home today:
Balkan Sasieni x 2

C & D Opening Night

Mac Baren: Burley London

“ HH Vintage Syrian

“ Navy Flake

“ Norwood

“ Stockton

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

I've enjoyed MacBaren's tobaccos thus far. So far, I've smoked the HH Vintage Syrian and HH Mature Virginia, Syrian being my favorite of the two. I have to agree with the MacBaren baccys, the slower, the better.
I was waiting in line at my kids' school reading a book while smoking the NF and was in a pivotal point in the book. Maybe next time I'll listen to some music or something, lol.

Was at paylesspipes.com the other day getting a box of pipe cleaners and picked up a tin each of SG Skiff Mixture and SG Perfection. I was surprised they had any in stock since SG is so sought after.

[lordnoble]

lukestar,

I found the McClelland 221b Honeydew to be not to my liking. igloo, another member on this forum, suggests that you let it age for 6+ months which makes for a better smoke. I'm only 2 months into aging mine, so I'll let you know what I think in a few months. Just a heads up...

Just made my first bulk purchase though not a huge one. Picked up from local B&M, a blend of their own they call "Sailor's Delight". Golden Cavendish with a hint of fire-cured vanilla Cavendish blended in. Really nice flavor and very enjoyable smoke.
Working through my Middle Earth sampler and already know I will be picking up some more of those blends in bulk
