Mixture No. 79 Review Contest

I did say almost tempted. I'm not ready to fall into the trap just yet

It's really not that bad,just entirely different from any thing else.Imagine a Ghurka Beast infused with Gain and kept in an old gym sock.

A nice little sample is yours for the asking. I don't think Tim would mind me re-gifting in this case!

EDIT: I don't even mind sending to Australia - anything to get this stuff out of the house!

Might take you up on that! Anything has to better than the smell of old grease I'm normally coated in PM incoming!

You can regift, or I can send him some. I only have a meager 4 oz left from the tub, but I would be willing to sacrifice a sample for our brother from down under.

Not only did my winnings arrive today, it beat my order from Jimmy Johns. That was fast Tim. Thanks again.



The tag along bags are FVF, Classic Burley Kake, and Stonehaven. Yum yum

An Ode to Mixture No. 79

While inside the Ziploc bag it lay
My nostrils were filled with much dismay
Was it licorice, vanilla, whisky? – nay!
Just lavender, soap, tar, and decay

But I soldiered on like a warrior brave
And stuffed my pipe with Burley aftershave
But soon I began to rant and rave
And almost longed to be dead in the grave

For when match touched leaf I did despair
And thought that I tasted baboon hair
Or perhaps the anus of a bear
Or Queen Elizabeth’s underwear

It’s nothing like a fine aged wine
Shared with a beloved valentine
‘Tis more like a sun that doesn’t shine
Or grapes that die upon the vine

Your taste is yours, and mine is mine
Some like tofu, some like swine
But I for one will never pine
For this sickly Mixture 79


PS: Tim, feel free to disqualify me if you want since I already won something - I just couldn't resist the challenge!

Come on, guys, man up! I'm jonesing for some new Mixture No. 79 poetry!

[bluenoser]

Ok I'm not very poetic but I'll giver a go.

There once was a man from Nantucket,
When given M79 he said F... it,
I'll give it a go,
Later he did throw,
His new meerschaum in the trash bucket?
