They released two blends in September. Bombadil and Goldberry. Bombadil sounds like a replacement for STM, and I think Goldberry is Isengard. I haven't ordered any yet. I may order some Bombadil and drop you a sample. This thread has me curious to try it. Hopefully, it is close, so I can get an idea of what it would have been like to smoke the original. |

I have about 1/2 a pound of STM. I can trade you some of what I have for some Bombadil. |

I will be ordering some of the Bombadil soon also. I am curious to see how it compares. I have smoked Short to Mushrooms for a few years now. I think I still have 40 or so ounces. Would be a shame for it to go away for sure.

I have a fair amount on hand, but it looks like it's gone for good.

I've never tried it although I almost ordered some once. Heard lots of good things about it here and elsewhere. I'm hoping some entrepreneur farmers will catch the ball and start producing high quality leaf for the pipe world. Problem is... labor costs.

Looks like Bombadil is something I'll need to try, what with me being a LOTR fan for 51 years, and a fan of pipeweed in general. I noticed this on the JFH website, tho:
"Due to credit card company policies concerning tobacco sales we are no longer able to accept payments by MasterCard over the internet."
Not a problem for me, but what's up with that? What policies?

I'm not aware of the "policies", as I think most places take MasterCard anyway. Just some more of today's war on tobacco nonsense. |

I'm pretty sure its somewhere in Mastercard's policies. I wanna say gambling sites are excluded as well. I'm not 100% sure on that anymore since my only MC is used for gas only.
I need to pick up some bombadil
