I enjoyed the pouch that I smoked about nine years ago. The fella who sent it to me told me how popular it was, and from what I gathered, there weren't many OTCs around, so I was curious about how things might have changed since then.

Thanks, @PaulTheScandinavian . If there's any more information about OTC availability you'd like to share, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only person here interested in learning more.

Then in addition to this Hamiltons Blanding we've got another one here in Finland & Sweden of which maybe only a few have heard of, Caravelle by Swedish Match company (perhaps today blended by Orlik)which is again Virginia & Burely ribbon cut blend topped with rum, this one is lighter than Greve Gilbert Hamiltons,Moreover in Denmark there are still their`own domestic pure Burley forward blends ,namely Everton* and Princeton* 17 e per 50gr pouch, those are very good ones old timey tobaccoes.

My pouch I got last year was really excellent and enjoyable. Amazing for an OTC. Even between va and burley i think. I gladly will send you a sample to try from my jar. I can ask my friend to send me more

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with unsalted peanuts and a golden delicious apple on the side for lunch. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy, neat, is my drink. Just got three blends to review.

Thank you for the information. I have never heard of Caravelle, but the other two I have. Are there a lot of places where you can get them, or just a few select outlets?

That is a very kind offer. Thank you.

C&D Exclusive in a Becker Billiard

Smoked some Brebbia Latakia Flake no9 this morning. A really good morning smoke. This has got to be the best Virginia/Lat blend I’ve had. The Virginias are nicely done and have no bite with nice sweetness. I’m inclined to believe that the tin description is true-they age before sale. I wonder how it’s going to hold up to 2017 Gawith Navy Flake I’ve yet to crack.

Charatan Rolls in the Barling Meer. After the Cabbie's Mixture, what relief! A pipe of this is like following a beef vindaloo with a chicken korma... this being the night when most Brits mindlessly amuse themselves by simulating battlefield conditions with fireworks to celebrate an unsuccessful attempt to blow up the tobacco-hating King James I (or VI, if you're Scottish), there was a brief alarm in mid-smoke when a spent skyrocket fell on the greenhouse roof. No breakages. Warrior Princess Cassisurata Amberfire Ravenfur Snowclaws continues to slumber peaceably.

We don't celebrate the execution of catholic dissidents in this household... Our poor cat spent most of the evening hiding under the bed before being coaxed out with freeze-dried fish treats. Now that the fireworks have stopped she's purring away happily by the radiator

Enjoyed a light snack, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City SEPC Transvaal Express 2.0 in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow with white swirls acrylic saddle stem. Reviewing this private club blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

@SmokeyJock - Neither do we (and we don't much care for fireworks anyway). Have you tried a plug-in pheromone diffuser, such as Feliway? These worked well to keep ours calm, while we lived in the big city and Diwali celebrations extended the pyrotechnic cacophony for about a fortnight (not to mention New Year's Eve and the occasional birthday bash). Now we're on the furthest edge of a small market town the noises are muted and we only get the very occasional fallout, as described earlier.
