[Tobias Lutz]

I didn't get a surprise box because they all were gone the day before IPSD.

oh. sorry.



awkward.

P&C order came in today. Smokingpipes is supposed to show up tomorrow.

Here's mine. I kept it small on purpose this year....My goal was to spend $0....I failed



Was in a Lakeland kind of mood while shopping. Looking forward to trying out the Grasmere Flake...smells like pure geranium bliss

Do you like Haddo's, Brandon? I have a whole tin (minus a few bowls) that I just can't bring myself to finish.

No idea. I've never had it before, I bought it on a whim. I was thinking about letting it age becuase I've heard that helps it. But I'll probably pop it open and try some.

The topping puts me off. Not the VaPer I was expecting.
Well if you or @Nachman what some more I have a tin I can send out.

If you haven't already, I suggest you jar it up and wait at least a year, then try it. I didn't like the topping either. It tasted like Cheap. and I mean CHEAP, brandy. I like brandy, but I can't stand cheap liquor. After a year or so it tastes decent.

I didn't take any pictures of my haul, partly because I thought there was nowhere to share the joy, until today.

Kept my P&C purchase light for IPSD because I had spent nearly $400 there a couple weeks before. Also, from spite because I thought their goodie box giveaway was a poorer judgement from the way they've done it in the past. Fewer freebies, given to more customers, starting on the 20th itself (midnight EST) would have been cooler. Most pipers were still at work and didn't know about the new situation on the afternoon of the 19th by the time all the boxes were gone.

So I got a 5-pack of horseshoe nails, because besides being good tampers, they make perfect snuff spoons.

And I took advantage of the sale on H&H Signature blends, which combined with the 15% made for great savings. 8oz cans each of Obsidian, Strikeforce and Virginia Spice.

1 2oz tin of F&K English Chocolate, which I'm glad to say is a terrific blend. Va + Lat with a Chocolate topping. A delicious flake.

4oz each of Moonshine Pipe Co XXX, C&D Crowley's Best, C&D Havana Daydream, F&K Lancer's Slices, and Newminster Norway.

I wanted to get a bunch of the on-sale McClelland's but only one opportunity is give to enter a discount code at checkout, so I decided to pass on it this time.

$400 bucks?!

That include a pipe or just a massive PAD attack?!

No pipes. All tobacco, much of it bulk and large tins. Happened to have a small windfall of funds so I picked out a bunch of items from my tobacco wish list, and to add more tins of things I know I like a lot (ie. Frog Morton Cellar, EGR Pipe Blend, PS Lux Bullseye Flake).

As for pipe acquisition, I recently found out I live less than an hour drive from the famous J.M. Boswell pipe shop, so maybe some time this Spring I'll drop by there and consider a new pipe (and indulge in some more TAD).
