Exclusive in bulk is even cheaper than the sale.

Gonna have to pull the trigger on that!

Enjoying a half bowl of Old Grandad by Maison Edwards in my trusty cob. Killing some time till my shift starts at work.

Will definitely check them out next. They have been on the radar but went with C&D for the sale. Any blends in particular from GL Pease?

Key Largo, Quiet Nights , Telegraph Hill and Spark Plug get my vote!
Of course everyone’s opinion is different or subjective but those are
Generally well received by everyone

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Can't beat the pouch for day to day carry! I'll have to save one to carry other brands.

I did a pouch when I started, and got quickly tired of my blends turning to a bag of shake and crumbs.
Now I keep my pipes/tamp lighter in a pouch in lunchbox and a selection of a couple ounces handy in small tins for the workweek.
The Snus tins fit most full round-tinned (Peterson, HH, etc) flakes perfectly.

This is a great idea! I'll have to give this a shot. I have an empty peterson tin that is a little more low profile than the C&D tins that are a bit taller.

It’s a very practical tobacco for me. High nicotine, doesn’t burn me like most VAs, tastes good, no dry time needed, ribbon so no prep required. I wouldn’t call it a complex blend though.

Earlier in the morning I smoked Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a Balandis sandblasted billiard

Now it’s cigar time - La Palina Red Label

I totally agree. The bowls I have had, have been great. Not very complex but still flavorful. I like the practicality of it as well! Definitely a contender for the initial bulk buy. I do have a gang of Five Brothers as well
