I like that I can order just a few things this month and buy a whole other tin for the same price that shipping would be. :clap:

MIXTURE NO. 79 - 14oz Can MN79 1

We use Mixture 79 as a hazing ritual for new members in our pipe club haha. I have only tried it that one time but it wasn't half bad IMHO. What are your thoughts?
Anyways, I took a chance and bought a unopened tin of Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland Shannon off Ebay with supposedly 5 years age to it. I hope to also acquire a Peterson Shannon pipe (hopefully through a trade) so I will be able to smoke both on my late mother's birthday in May, whose name was Shannon. She passed away of cancer when I was 12 at the age of 45.

(Picture from 4noggins as I use Firefox and cannot download the picture of the tin)

Sounds like a great plan. I don't think I have a Shannon in my collection. Now I gotta check!

Over the last month I have gotten a lot of tobacco. Going off of memory here. Got all of it except the McClelland reserve and the Sam Gawith from smokingpipes.com Funny story about the Samuel Gawith. My girlfriend went to Portland for business and I asked her to stop by a tobacco shop if she had time. She called and said "I asked if they reccomended anything. The lady behind the counter said this Samuel Gawith stuff was pretty good and they only had 2oz left so I got it." Needless to say I was pumped. I've been wanting to try it for months but it has been sold out everywhere. Now I just have to wait to get out of work today so I can try it, time cant move fast enough. ::

I tried the 965" Dunhill Match last month, and I was pretty satisfied with it. Its not an exact match, but pretty close IMHO. In a blind test, I probably could pick the two differences, but its not flagrently obvious. I think the DH blend is a little smoother. I got some more of the match blend to cellar and see how it ages. In short, I like DH MM965, and if I couldn't get the origonal, this match version would do until I could. I have yet to try the DH EMP match blend. Maybe in next months TAD order.

Holy crap that is alot lol. Why no free S&H?? Most sites have free S&H for orders over $100, that would mean more baccy.

 

[marmal4de]

Canadian orders don't qualify for free shipping

 

[wallbright]
