Always the bridesmaid, never the bride...

But seriously, thanks again, Tim! I didn't think I could win something twice, so this is a cool surprise! All I can say is your SO is a gentleman of refined tastes. Congrats @fastnbulbous !

Haha, I will tell her you said as much!

Oopsy... Though I guess that kind of faux pas is better than mistaking her for a gentleman in person (like the time I asked a woman when her baby was due, and she snapped "I'm not pregnant!").

I'm a little late choosing a winner. It was a very difficult decision, I had no idea we had so much talent on the boards. So difficult, in fact, I had to bring in my SO to help decide. All of the entries were very well done, but we have chosen @fastnbulbous as the winner, and @c.ortiz108 once again as runner up. Below is the list of baccies to choose from. Adam choose first, and Chico gets to choose next.

Dunhill Mixture 965 2/14
Presbyterian Mixture 3/14
Solani Aged Burley Flake 3/14
Orlik Golden Sliced 7/13
Peterson Irish Flake 4/14
Erinmore Flake 7/13
Peterson Irish Flake 4/14
Orlik Golden Sliced 100g 7/13
Dan Hamborger Veermaster 8/14

As Mr. Burns would say, Huzzah!! Thanks Tim/SO/All. I am very happily surprised.

I still have basically no idea about pipe tobacco, so after a quick lookup on the inter webs I will try the Solani Aged Burley Flake 3/14.

It got the highest rating on the first website that I went to (Tobaccoreviews.com), has no additives at all, or so it said, and it was not one of the many sent to me by Tobias for the newbie sampler.

Thanks again everyone.

Haiku Rules!

I've seen that Solani recommended all over the place, so I'm guessing you probably made a good choice! The use of 3 different kinds of burley is intriguing.

I've been wanting to try Presbyterian Mixture, and in fact was going to order some on my P&C order but they don't carry it. It's a tough decision with all that variety of tobacco goodness, but I'll go for that one! Thanks again Tim, for all the fun and generosity. I like these contests that get everyone's creative juices flowing!

In addition to the tin of Presbyterian there three fine samples - none of which I've had! Been wanting to try the Semois, eager to try any Esotericas, and to explore more SGs so these are all massively appreciated. Thanks for your generosity and for all the fun, Tim.

After reading this yesterday afternoon, I thought Sunday...Ah, what the hell. and look what was waiting for me.

Attachment 3468

Also 3 additional samples along with the Solani.
Note that the bottom bag is empty because I smoked it all!

Thanks a bunch Tim

How was the Semois? I've read pretty much nothing but good things about it.
