Thank you sir. I was going to sell it a couple of years ago but it fell through and I started smoking it. And I'm glad I did!
God and Texas!
Yeah, me either. Every time someone shows one I think "MINE".

Gatlin-Burlier Newfound Blend in an Orlik.
It's fitting that I am smoking this tobacco in this pipe tonight, because almost no one knows anything about either of them. Orlik was a London pipe maker long before they licensed the name out to slap on tobacco tins, and I think their better grade pipes rank right up there with the best of the classic English names.
Gatlin-Burlier's Newfound Blend is one of my very favorite tobaccos, and no one knows about it either. It's a ribbon, mostly Burley with some Virginia, and it is topped. It qualifies as "almost aro" for sure, but the blend presents as Burley. The topping, no idea what it is except maybe sugar and nut, amplifies the sweet and nutty qualities that Burley can show. So Newfound Blend smokes like a light Burley ribbon that is sweet and nutty, on steroids. Think Uhle 00 through science instead of nature. It lives somewhere between the OTCs and the top shelf Burleys like Uhle and Watch City, and I just adore it. There's only a pound in the cellar, and I am going to remedy that soon. I highly recommend this tobacco. If you see what I smoke in this thread and you like the same sort of stuff, you will enjoy Newfound Blend.

I hope our names are touching on the watch list
