Getting a little jealous of your luck with finding FVF! :lol: It's a delicious tobacco, enjoy!
Dude! I lucked out on my buddy going to Mississippi and bringing some back, said it was a mom n pop shop and the only box or tin of SG they had.
I have been on the guy at the local b&m, told him if he wanted my business he was gonna have to find SG FVF and SG BBF and have a decent price on it. I don’t mind a mark up or a guy making some $ but I’m not into being beat up.
So far he has been doing good, I’m just hoping he can score more. I’m trying to stock and cellar my favorites as I had gotten very low on them. I have been searching hi and low, they are pretty elusive.
Man, I'd say for a guy that already seems to have gone out of his way to get stuff for you specifically.. that'd win my business regardless, and willingness to pay significantly over retail just to keep them in business. Most of these types of businesses go full on mind wipe in between customers.. they just want to take your money and not deviate from the norm. I wish we had ANY B&M in town, much less one where they give a rip about their customers.
Only recently has he gotten this way. More people in town have been requesting different pipe tobacco and I guess he saw the light.
I have been doing more business with him lately and will continue.
I like supporting local business, but I won’t pay high as h;$$ prices.

Hey man, if you're ever in the area let me know and I'd be happy to hang and smoke a bowl or two. I'm up to about 46 pounds in the cellar now after the bulks get jarred up tonight. Should last me a few years! Living in New York makes me fearful that we are going to ban mail ordering soon. A few people at work say that they are legalizing marijuana in New York and I think once that happens, we are in trouble.

I would cellar deep. As you stated, things can change fast, the bad fast change.
I only have five of those blends. All are in the cellar aging away, except one tin of Stonehenge Flake which is as good as it gets. The rest get a couple few more years of aging, including the Stonehenge tins.

Wessex Burley Slices arrived today - if anyone's looking I got them from tophattobacco.com and they seem to have quite a few more. Can't wait to try in a few weeks, popped the tin and took a whiff and longingly held it while I transferred to a mason jar :lol:

Ah and turns out Esoterica was available when I went to try some new samples so I snagged a tin to give one a shot, everything else here is new to me too:

Consider yourself fortunate if they actually sent it. You might be recieving a call and $5 oopsy daisy voucher or something, unless they're getting stingy with their apologies.
