Pretty sure about 7 of those are hitting Swedish customs about now.
Thank you so much for that Adaw! (hope I got the the spellung right, lol ; )
Cuban Cigars?
I assume this because of @AJL67 (mouthwatering) posts on the cigar thread.
Sorry, I don't normally like to butt in and answer somebody else's question bit I saw that it was most likely missed..
HH Pure virginia is fantastic. I have a modest amount, so I try to save it for special moments. In the meantime I enjoy Capstan Gold and Blue, or the faithful rotational friend, mac baren virginia flake, easily accessible to buy and relatively inexpensive.
Luxury Twist Flake is pretty sweet. So is CD Manhattan Afternoon.
Another vote for Wessex Campaign here, especially in the first half of the bowl.
That topping is pushing the limits of sweetness for me, but the second half of the bowl is where the blend shines.

Well the good news for him is it looks like the box made it through customs with no issues. The Swedish tracking posts are a little odd but went from customs, to customs hold to cleared facility to on way to destination.
Gawith Hoggarth Glengarry Flake. Lightly aromatic, all Virginia flake with a honey topping. It's a delicious smoke.
Just thought I would post this here, it's a list of most popular pure virginias from smokingpipes:

Kudos to AJL67 for his gift of tobaccos!
Took some time, but the package finally arrived with a bunch of samples of stuff that I cannot get where I live. Never expected this generosity. And could not wait to try Newminster No. 400. Fully agree, it is a wonderful tobacco. Thank you Adam - very much appreciated!!

You know you need to send him some vintage ABBA albums as a thank you!
Dan Tobacco does have some very good sweet Virginia tobacco.
Hamborger Veermaster with age is one of my favorites.
Tordenskjold Virginia Slices are often in my rotation. Limerick is also excellent.
There was a time where Hamborger Veermaster was impossible to get and was scooped up as soon as it came back in stock. Probably between 2010-2015 or so.
