I made the mistake of telling a friend that I have taken up the pipe again and that I am enjoying it this time. He said his grandfather just passed away and he had tons of "stuff" the family wanted to sell. I bought a 24 oz unopened bag of each PS Luxury Navy Flake and Luxury Bullseye Flake. I felt bad for them but I also knew it was a fair deal to pay about what I would pay if I bought it on line and had it shipped. They are both from fall of 2018, I paid $125 for both.
I hope to sell a pound of each and keep half a pound of each. I will probably put up a sale thread next week and I could sure use the advice; sell it by the pound, half pound, quarter pound?
I feel like a drug dealer  |

Gramps had good taste!
A lot better than the super value stuff a lot of old farts smoke.

Fall of 2018 had some bad batches of those blends but I would be more than happy to dispose of it for you. Bowl by bowl.  |

Like the others said...keep it. Time is coming when you'll find it harder and harder to get quality blends...age on them can't hurt either.

I know you guys are right, but I simply will never smoke all of that tobacco and rather than letting it be thrown out when I die, I would rather share it with some other people. |

Those blends are good if not great. Seriously, keep it! Put them away in jars, label and date them. Age will only make you love it more. Smoke it next year, three years, five years, ten years or more from now. Just know that properly stored and taken care of, you have something here that you will enjoy for many years to come.

I say if the man wants to part with the tobacco, who are we to tell him otherwise.

Don't succumb to the peer pressure, stone. You've done well there. |

Don't succumb to the peer pressure, stone . You've done well there. I know everyone has my best interest at heart! Otherwise they would have been trying to snag it from me I just don't think I will ever smoke that much of a single tobacco at the rate I will smoke a pipe. I am going to try every tobacco I own to see what I like best and I am sure I wil keep buying a few things here and there. |

It is a widely distributed tobacco, often ordered with free shipping. If you plan to sell smaller lots and charge shipping, expect a loss on your investment.
