Brigadier Black - Don't fall for it!

You are right, David. On the plus side...B.B. Alamo is pretty good as an aro. Haven't tried the others...but still worth the $19.00 for 8 oz.

I may be wrong (usually) but I believe AJ might be selling some very shortly...and it will be aged, which surprisingly, doesn't hurt or improve it any...just leaves it still pretty good as an aro. (Didn't really add anything to this conversation, I noticed).

Thanks for the tip David, I really enjoy Brigadier blends but only buy now when I find a good sale.

Hope you and Xuan are doing well👌👍👍

You guys just hold on. I will soon be posting a few tins of Alamo at bargain prices. I’m trying to get everything lined up to post by next Wednesday or Thursday.

No problem Walt. The tins of Alamo that I will be offering most certainly will be less than those currently priced at P&C. 

Hey McWiggins, what's that deal at P&C with the Plum Pudding?

Both are really good while being different from each other...also did the two for one price (saved by the bell) and was quite happy to have both...good way to stock up on both tobaccos at the same time.

I bought a tin of Alamo when it first came out, but I I still have most of it left. I lost my taste for it when they came out with Sherman's March.

No Plum Pudding at all? No original nor Special Reserve?

They should age well but whenever you open one, if our tastes are the same, you will be in for a real treat.

Also, in my opinion, Plum Pudding is good and worth having but Special Reserve is on another level of greatness. Either way, both Plum Puddings and Bengal Slices I plan to cellar deep.

I keep a tin of Bengal Slices opened at all times. It's the only tinned blend that I do that with, so far.

Thanks for that heads up though, I'll be sure I keep stock rotated.

I bought it 5 years ago and forgot about it until I ran across it after smoking 3 tins of fresh stuff. I thought "this will be great". But it's just very good.

This is why we cant have nice things

I picked up 5 of those when they had it. After my first order I could never get it again. That one was a bargain for sure.

I managed about the same. If I would have known stocking would be such an issue and had the money, I would have bought at a minimum the equivalent of three pds worth probably much more (Still have to face the wife and one big order might have proved too dramatic😁.). I really enjoy both blends. With ~two pounds of Nightcap bulk in the cellar and a few tins, I should have bought more bulk if not tins... Oh no the shadow of depression is coming.....,😁 I do love Nightcap!!

PS Blachouse should be available for a time. Yet, as the FDA hour approaches, who knows how long it will be until they stop Marquee production. There are allot of great blends in that series. The darkness grows thicker!!!😁

PS Marquee blends' tin price (@ P&C) went up around a buck fairly recently. I will wait for the buy 2 get 1 free promotion that they have a few times throughout the year.

It appears that P&C might be cooling down a bit on major promotions. Unless I missed it, I did not see their a 10-15% off storewide pipe tobacco sale they typically have, for a brief time, at the end of January nor was their black Friday/Cyber Monday sales as good as in the past, not to mention the absence of the big February C&D sale. With such a small time frame, it is tough to say that this is telling. We will see what we will see.
