TAD Purchases

[lordnoble]

I swear this thread always starts something with me. I went out for lunch to the PO mails some stuff and decided to hit up one of the B&M's close by. Got a Tin of Peterson's Irish Oak and 2 oz. of "Harvey's Blend" No idea what it is, but I like the tin note and it's a decent smoke also.

i went a little crazy Saturday at Carousel and The Wharf.

at Carousel I grabbed 8 ounces of Meditation, a tin of Sasieni Original Formula Balkan, and a bunch of pipe cleaners.

Then we went up to The Wharf and I picked up 8oz. of Billy Budd, 4oz. of Latakia, 8oz. of their English/Oriental, A tin of Blakeney's Best Latakia Flake, a tin of Butera's Royal Vintage Latakia No. 1, a tin of Sutliff Private Stock Great Outdoors, and a tin of Wellauer's Latakia.

I think that was everything.

UPS delivered today. First out of the box and in the pipe was Hofman'sDistinguished Gentleman. Not a bad smoke at all. Blue Mountain, SL, Grousemoor, and 1792 on deck.

 

[lordnoble]

I felt the same way, John. Distinguished Gentleman was decent but not something to write home about. I'm letting it age a bit before I pass judgment. The SG blends you listed are all ones I've tried.

SL was a nice Latakia blend, but there are better which are easier to find and cheaper to buy.

Grousemoor wasn't as much of an aromatic as I had been expecting and needs more bowls to figure out if I like it.

The 1792 is tasty but it knocked me on my @$$ with the Vitamin-N content. Smoke on a full stomach for sure!
I've been successful in staying my TAD attack, but this may put me over the edge. That and the fact that my wife gave me the green light to make an order big enough to get free shipping for our anniversary.

Baren: HH Highland 100g

McClelland: Grand Orientals: Classic Samsun 50g

McClelland: Grand Orientals: Black Sea Sokhoum 50g

Also got myself a Vinyl 7 pipe deluxe case. I was getting tired of keeping my pipes in socks when I travelled or went out. Went with vinyl because I'm a college kid, and there is no way I'm spending 90 dollars when I could spent 25 and put the 75 towards a pipe.

I just bought 4 oz of Black Heath from my local tobacconist. It was about $15, even at bulk. LOL, it's just black cavendish - but I have no idea what brand or where they get it from. I'm afraid if I try an online retailer, I'll end up disliking the black cavendish I buy.

 

[pawpaw]

1/4 pound 1Q and 2 oz of BCA
