Whoa, bubba. That's a delivery and a half. Lucky the mailman didn't throw his back out carrying it. Happy puffing.

When I was into aromatics I would buy a bag of Super Value Vanilla and one of Super Value cherry . Together they made a nice smoke.

Bob I will try them on their own and get back with you to let you know how they are! I could send you some if you would like to try them...
There are two ways to answer your last question "What is the BOTR blend?"

If I was to take the question at face value I would answer that BOTR stands for Best of the Rest, which is Pipesandcigars.com's trashcan blend. Or I could read into the question a little more and say that is mostly an aromatic mixture with a good portion of something I would equate to A.M. Pipe, thrown in... Over all I would say I am happy with the BOTR blend, it has a sweet, spicy, and nutty taste all rolled into one with an aftertaste I don't particularly care for. But it did stay lit the entire bowl and it burned clean and dry (maybe a little hot, but I might have been smoking fast).

Thanks for letting me know what BOTR stands for. I should have known, but it just didn't click.
Thanks for the offer of sending me some of the Super Value blends to try, but I will have to pass right now. I have so many other blends that I need to smoke that are waiting on reviews to be done.

Any blends that you want to have me ghost-review for you, I'd be happy to take those blends off your hands...

Dang. Are you sure this wasn't supposed to go in the "what would you do if you won the TAD lottery" thread? What's the rectangular Eileen's Dream tin/box?

Thanks Bob, the wife doesn't really like it but oh well! Actually my local just picked up a few pounds of blue note and the sweet honeydew from dans tobacco and at 4 an ounce it's not a bad deal, so I will probably get a few ounces of each and she can just be mad!

I wanted to try the Mac Baren Scottish Mixture yesterday, but of course, they were out of it. Apparently it is the worlds most sold blend.

Let us know what you think of the Nougat after you've had a few bowls... Inquiring LoTR fans want to know!

Has anyone tried the "best of the rest" or "the cheap stuff" which is left overs of a lot of different blends thestores measured out that day mixed together. It seems to me it would taste like poo. I can't imagine taking a little of each of the jars in my cellar and mixing it into one blend.

I bought a pound of the "Best of the Rest" blend from pipesandcigars.com and I was pleasantly surprised! It was sweet, spicy, and nutty all at the same time, it wasn't an instant favorite but it was worth the $12 I spent on it!
