The Mail Man Made My Day

[brdavidson]

It was a pretty crazy day at work today, pure chaos as a matter of fact. But towards the end of the day the mail man came and made me smile! 2tins of Three Nuns, 2tins of Orlik Golden Sliced, 1 tin of Dunhill Flake and 1 tin of Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture. Now to figure out what to crack open first after I get rid of this nasty infection.

Nice TAD haul! A great end to any day!

Are you sure it was the USPS' fault? Sorry, couldn't resist after the other thread. Looks like a nice selection of tins.

@roth :lol: I stand corrected.

Yep good old Canada Post, we actually get mail delivery here in this backwards country that's almost twice the size of the USA! Lol, sorry but the USPS is a story organisation at this point. I work in the mailing industry so I have first hand knowledge of the two postal service (I work for a private company that is forced to use both to provide our services) and Canada Post is far superior than the USPS in almost every metric available.
But I digress, I have tried the three nuns so that's going to the cellar, the other three blends I haven't tried. I'm thinking the OGS as recommended by Shutterbug, and if I like it that's a great tin to stock as it's so damn cheap compared to others.

A good day indeed. It sure beats my daily deleivery of bills and junk mail.

Woops looks like I may have stepped in it with my last post. I wasn't aware of the other thread about the USPS today, oh well. I believe my opinions are likely to be more informed than most on this subject as it is my profession and likely have more extensive dealings than the average Joe. But I was simply poking fun, not intended to offend.

Very nice. I say go for the Three Nuns.

 

[brdavidson]

Hey Metal, I have a tin open of the Three Nuns, I love it. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes that style of tobacco.

I normally give the Orlik Golden Sliced some aging time before smoking (3 months or more), it seems to really help the flavor along. It is definitely a favorite of mine.

 

[brdavidson]

You know what Eric, that's good advice. I have lots opened right now, I think I'll do just that.

There is nothing harder than trying to decide which tin to open. With shipping costs its just silly to buy one at a time.
