Latest Tobacco Purchase 2020

Not really a purchase but I received a package of 3 tins of 3P's and a MM Pride to replace the moldy FVF I had bought. Have too much open right now and it's hard not to pop a tin.

I do the same thing then order too much tobacco and need to buy more jars. Then extra jars and another tobacco order... just snowballs from there. If only tins were cheaper
It's a vicious cycle, yes?
I will say that TAD has cut down significantly on my alcohol consumption.
Life is full of little trade-offs.
Haven't had a drink in almost 2 years which means that when I turn 40 in March, I'll have been sober over 2 years. I've rewarded myself 5 birth year Dunhills for staying clean! Might have to get something special this year for making it another year lol

Congratulations, 3.5 for me, after 10 years amateur drinker, 25 years professional and no cravings now.

Ordered 3 tins of 1792 this morning. Can't remember how long since I've had any but do remember liking it

Despite my solemn promise, I'm eyeing a tobacco purchase, to include a pouch of SWR. I have an old pouch of SWRA, which I like very well. Should I bother with SWR...or is it about the same as SWRA...?!?

Also, I ahae to say regarding pouches, the plastic ones that wrap well around the contents seem to do a pretty good job of keeping the tobacco from drying out. I have some that are fairly old, not a problem.

They are fairly different really - even down to the cut. I say try it, but be prepared for an OTC burley experience out of the SWR.

They're night and day ! SWR is very " plain " burley in a near cube cut ... but not really a cube cut , like a cube cut that came undone , whereas swra is a nearvribbon cut and flavored quite a bit .

SWR = codger burley . It's killer in a cob. I can't recall how many times I posted SWR / COB/ Coffee at the old psf site . Seriously , even if you don't care for it , you have to try it in a cob with coffee .... it just works so well

The cut on SWR reminds me a little of Grape Nuts.
