I ask because I have empty jars, and it is really the need to stuff jars that drives my purchases. Don't ask. Freudian.
Empty jars indeed make me sad. Sometimes I buy new ones just to make myself happy by filling them.
I may have a problem.
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

26 years on March 4.The personality disorder never goes away, I mean you guys see how I am with pipes and tobacco. The difference is I always enjoy the pipes and tobacco and they don't wreck my life.
I hope our names are touching on the watch list

Awesome! 24 years to go for me... pipes and tobaccos can be money intensive but well worth it. Not to mention A LOT more life friendly. Thanks for the inspiration for something to strive for!

That's awesome! If I were in your shoes I'd figure out my favorite shape. Then I'd find a carver who absolutely slays that shape and commission one exactly how you want it

The Dunhill's were excellent and those are the same recipe from the same factory so I'd bet they are. I've tried the Nightcap so far and it's amazing. Have some tins of the 965 saved for when I have less blends open. I hope you enjoy those blends and if you like Latakia, you will
