Nice! The KW tobacco was available from 1963-72. Came in 2 oz pouches for 50 cents and tins for 1.95. "It is an exclusive formula of rich, rare Cavendish tobacco blended to perfection for flavor and mildness. Exotic Indonesian tobaccos, dark fired Virginia, Latakia and Perique are all delicately combined to insure a sweet, extra mild, slow burning smoke"Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 6:06 pm I bought a few old pouches. I'm curious about the Fireside from Denmark and the Kaywoodie from Switzerland.
Now I'm even more excited to smoke it! Thank you for the bit of info.Thelonious monkfish wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 6:37 pmNice! The KW tobacco was available from 1963-72.

Ah the old @Fr_tom approach eh? Leave no tobacco unsmoked, don't give up until you've burned minimally a pound Happy it worked out for you. Maybe I'm just a picky mf'er but I would be PO'd to grab a lb and then hate itJohnny wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 8:43 pm Taking advantage of the 15% off C&D bulks, the second of two orders came in....UPS is slow and the first order won't arrive until Wednesday....
1lb Haunted Bookshop
1lb Three Friars
1lb Big N Burley
1lb Old Joe Krantz
I like both Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe Krantz even though the cut isn't what it used to be. Those are both just regular stock. Three Friars and Big N Burley are new to me but I figured I'd get a pound of each anyway. I've tried both today after jarring up everything and I love both blends!
For the most part, I have a pretty good idea if I will like something or not. It is not that much of a risk. I would claim too that anyone who liked OJK and HB would likeThree Friars and Big-n-Burley. There are just some folks who hate C&D burley or can't abide perique I suppose.Peacock wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 11:42 pmAh the old @Fr_tom approach eh?

KK is another who sometimes buys a pound to sample something. The theory though is that we are twins separated at birth. There may be a genetic marker for this sort of thing that they find in the genome. Johnny may be kin in some way.
Triplets separated? Anything is possible I guess!Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 4:26 am1lb samples are a way of lifeFr_Tom wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:04 amFor the most part, I have a pretty good idea if I will like something or not.
