You are most kind but I'm absolutely not the person to review this mixture. Please bless a more deserving person with it and thank you. I review poorly and I don't smoke anything other than traditional English / Virginia mixtures. This forum is blessed with many good reviewers so I recuse myself based on my prejudices.

Given my recent tobacco shopping spree and good fortune, I though that, following in your generous footsteps, of also offering samples for review. It would be Virginia Flakes from Gawith Hoggarth and Peter Stokkebye and perhaps a few others. I'd probably be ready to start in about 2 weeks (waiting for more vacuum sealer bags). If this is acceptable can I ask for your assistance? I'd send you a list of the mixtures and if you could set up a new thread and conduct the selection of volunteers as you did here then send me the participant information and I'd send out the weed.

Pete,
I would love to get in on this since I missed the first round. I am a newcomer to pipes but have been reviewing cigars for a while, and smoking them for a long while. What really piqued my interest was your mention of Gawith. I have been smoking their Full Virginia Flake and I think very highly of it. I'm game to try something new and post a review. If I'm out of line, I apologize in advance. And thanks to TL for all your contributions.
Jim

Hi Jim,

Why don't you and @Chris0673 send your contact info to Tobias and we'll put you guys #1 and #2 on the list.

I expect that I'll be able to LUTZ 15-20 suckers...er, I mean volunteers.

The tobaccos will be Flakes and some English but no aromatics.

Pete

I'd be down for doing another review if you're ok with north of the border inclusion

Lovin' it.

Count me in too

GH&Co flakes and Englishes huh...

Yeah, I better get in on this. Definitely better get in on this. :pipe:

Done! I'm definitely seeing my tastes tending towards the former. Look forward to learning more about what I like.

So it was just a heads up that we screwed up and go f**k yourself? Nice job this new Post Office is doing. At least the bags are self explanatory.

Well mine finally showed up... Friday. Finally got tired of waiting and checking the mail box twice a day so went into the office and complained about the tracking # showing card left but nothing in the box. Woman replies, oops must have forgot the card. Oh well its here and I actually had this on my list for my next order to try,so thanks again. I'll try to get to the review asap. Here's the pic along with the "best of the rest" give away you sent. Much appreciated my good man.

You're back in business, Jack! I imagine you'll like this blend better than the one I originally sent :)

Ok so my review will be on hold until I get rid of this "Campus Crud". Voice is gone, nose running like a faucet, coughing, sore throat, fever, stuffy head, can't rest and even NyQuil doesn't work! Hopefully I'll be better by the weekend.:puke:

Chris, unacceptable! (That the NyQuil won't work for you!) :D

Get well soon!

Look what showed up yesterday!

Can't wait for your review. I like it be could totally understand some wouldn't consider it their cup of tea.

George,

I'm still pondering this sentence :).

So the Post Office offers two types of service.
1 - Mail delivered
2 - Damaged remains returned with a sympathetic note.

Heck, I'm a sucker for sentiment, send me the note, nobody wants to hear from me anyways.

Well Pete, between it sounding better in my head and me trying to type on a tablet, this does make one ponder. I really like that tobacco, BUT it is strong enough, I'mnot surprised that some people don't care for it.

I did pass english, really.

Hi George,

Pass English? With this sentence you could have passed French, Russian, Latin and the Bar! It covers a range of human experience that brings tears to my eyes. It's brilliant! You explore the paradox of man, over time, in a single sentence. I'd begin my doctoral thesis by breaking the sentence into it's three coherent parts;

I like it be could --- totally understand some wouldn't consider it --- their cup of tea.

Toddler - Trying to express an opinion that they can not form.
Young man - Certain in their own opinion, cordial to a differing opinion but with an undertone of hostility.
Mature man - Acceptance that their opinion and others can mutually exist (but expressed in a homily that shows disdain and contradiction).

I hope you don't mind the gentle ribbing. I've written and posted sentences that were understood by no one, including me.

Pete

Never realized how impressive I am. Thanks for pointing it out.

I don't mind the ribbing. I've heard if you can't laugh at yourself, you shouldn't laugh at others. When it come to laughing at yourself, I have a wealth of material.:encouragement:

Is there a thread for the reviews or do we just post our own in the Review section?
