 It’s going to be available again on Wednesday, January 25. I didn’t get any last year. Anyone have any thoughts or reviews of it? |

I bought a brick last year. I broke the brick up, jarred it and put it in the cellar. I kept an ounce out for sampling. I liked it, and the ounce didn't last long. I don't remember why I liked it, though. I'll have to steal a bowlful from a jar to decide whether to get more this year.

Last year's got good reviews on TR. It doesn't appeal to me, and C&D blends usually aren't my thing with a couple of exceptions.

I might snag a bag of shag, if my connection don’t lag.

It's the mixture of the tobaccos which includes a bunch of virginias and the Kasturi Indian air cured cigar-type leaf with topping of mulled wine/spices. I've found it really good and I've smoked a few ounces of mine. ChasingEmbers said it's pretty well the same as one of the C&D Old Ones Series flakes, I think Mad Fiddler Flake, that's also got an apple mulled wine topping to it. I've not tried that one yet. I can recommend Folklore if you want a unique Virginia mild aromatic that has more strength and almost a backbone of black twist flavor within it.

Not a blend that appeals to me. I'll pass as I did the first time.

At least I will be able to see if it is moldy or not.

Weird, I never got an email about it and it's still not listed on SmokingPipes?
Showed at about 6:07pm at SP. I was really considering taking a pass but bought one.  |

Ordered mine from Cup O Joes. Smoking Pipes and Country Squire have it as well. My email from Smoking Pipes was at exactly 6PM Eastern.

Is the packaging good enough to celler it in or should it be jarred?

I will jar it for sure, just to be safe.

My tastes run to English and Dark Fired. Bit if you'd like to send a small amount for tasting, I'll PM you. And it's much appreciated. |

It's still available at the source, SmokingPipes. They must've printed more this year.
