Vanilla-ey stuff.. Channeling MikeDennison(wherever that fine gent may be).

Low Country Vanilla
4th Gen 1957
PS Nougat
MB Vanilla Cream Loose Cut
MB 7 Seas Reg (been meaning to try this for a while).

Really wanted to also try some PA soft vanilla, but it is apparently NLA.

I hadn’t really looked online for either in a long time and just noticed that JRcigars had them listed but wasn’t sure if they were really available because they don’t always manage too keep their inventory updated

Hmmm

I like them both but they have priced themselves out of my league. With tax they are $40 ofr 14 ounces! 14 ounces!! This grates on my frugal sensibilities, eh @Fr_Tom ? I look for sales, go with the Low Country bulks, and Grand Croupier nowadays.

$40 for a tub of PA or CH! And that's online! Hell, it's over $50 before taxes if you buy it at a store here in Texas! Maybe that should have been one of our new laws here...lower the price of tobacco!

I like the stuff, but the cost per ounce is the barrier. It is not THAT good to me when I can buy LC VaBur. They have been out of Double Down the past few times I have ordered something.

I recently paid 60 for that old tub of KCCB and 53 for that 79! Never again. :shock:

I could by a pound of a GH rope online for almost the same price that I’d pay for 14 ounces of PA locally!

Luckily you have your match. That's a ridiculous price.

So this is kinda interesting. I got this order, and I cracked the 4th Gen 1957 to give it a whiff and noticed that the inner paper and the topper were completely saturated with oils, and the rim of the tin was starting to rust. The tobacco smells heavenly fermented, and I flipped the tin over and bam.. I guess I will be smokin' some extra aged 1957.
