Yep. jar the pouches. The HU paint cans will hold up for years, though the contents will slowly dry, based on my experience with the purchases I made in 2016. The round screw-on tins should be good for years, maybe decades. The square and rectangular tins may be good for 7 years + or -, though some may fail sooner and others not for 15 to 20 years. The square/rectangular tins are more of a crap shoot.

You're welcome. If you don't mind my asking, just out of curiosity, have you smoked all of these before? BTW, good choice with the Makhuwa.

I have not. I’m pretty new to pipe smoking. I made my choices based on what I’ve read from other members and blends that sounded interesting. I tried to get a little of everything, but of course that turned out to be impossible without mortgaging the house lol.

Amazing, hope you enjoy! And there I am planning a $100 purchase and wonder if it is "too much"!

Btw I am thinking Director's cut, Tillerman and Jerry Sarono, along with a few other things like Capstan blue, St Bernard, some Solani. I don't get why estervals charge more for some SG mixes than others (e.g., ropes) when the UK shops sell all tins for the same price.

Cool, as long as you didn't buy any Elwood. That stuff requires tongs and a hazmat suit.

I liked Tillerman, not enough to reorder it, but I found the topping interesting. Director's Cut is an excellent blend.

Go to tobaccoreviews.com

Read the reviews of Dan Tobacco Holly's Non Plus Ultra.

Then imagine worse, infinitely worse.

“The memory of this tobacco haunts me to this day. I have severed all ties with the person who insisted I try it, and destroyed the pipe it was smoked in.

Things I would rather smoke than this blend: -C4 -Donald Trump's hairpiece -The powdered brains of my own children“

Good lord ??‍♂️

So a combination of conversations about the tobaccapolypse and Esterval’s has resulted in an acute case of TAD.

I didn’t even think about customs until after I hit purchase. Then I started reading about it. I’ve been super stressed until I got the USPS email yesterday that it was out for delivery.

Have you tried those blends prior to hitting the buy button?

That's an insane amount of tobacco, I wish I would have done the same but with McClelland blends only when I started!

Post your thought on the blends as you smoke em!
