That is a nice order
Enjoy

Nice haul. That Kendal Kentucky, when patiently and slowly sipped from a small briar, is an exquisite smoking experience. That Old West Briar bulldog you just got would be the perfect match for it.
That's funny, the first bowl through the bulldog was, in fact, Kendal Kentucky! Was a great smoke. I love Kendal Kentucky and used to smoke it a lot when I smoked before. It's nice to have a stock on hand again

Getting a little jealous of your luck with finding FVF! 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.
By the way I see you like Ye Olde Signe

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.Mrm1775 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 5:44 pmDude!

I haven't actually tried Ye Olde Signe yet. It's something I'm banking on liking. The tins already have some age on them and once I finish a couple blends, I'll be cracking one to try out. It's supposed to be a strong Virginia blend and that sounds right up my alley!Mrm1775 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 5:44 pmDude!
