My back gave out but not until I'd gotten the tobacco ready.

Some of the tobaccos are vacuum sealed, others just sealed according to need or fancy. There'll be a letter on a color coded label on each tobacco pack.

I'm hopeful that everything will be mailed on Friday.
@BryGuySC , congratulations on winning the story contest, your pipe will accompany the tobacco. As noted, the pipe will be reamed and in need of a cleaning (or resto should you wish).
