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

Nice order!
Try the Super Value blends on their own as well. I did a review of the Super Value Black & Gold and it was a decent blend. I would be interested in hearing what you think of the Chocolate and Vanilla blends.
What is the BOTR blend?

What is the BOTR blend?
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.

Okay this is what I got in the mail today! It has been a good good week...
haha Lordnoble, next time the box pass comes around I will make a special bundle just for you!

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?

I purchased these guys yesterday....
I like the Peterson's Tobacco Pouch (valcro zipper, foldable,vinyl)...
And...The Captain Black Gold (there was senior who purchased 3 pouches, so I thought I would give it a try....(I haven't opened it up yet....)
And...Mac Baren Mixture Scottish Blend...(it's not bad, and there's a real interesting "spicy" taste ??)

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!
Just got:
2oz. Peter Stokkebye Navy Flake
2oz. Peter Stokkebye Nougat (because of the Lord of the Rings discussion...)
-Jason
*edit* forgot last parenthesis

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!
