A ridiculous amount of aged tobacco. A very good friend realized a couple years ago that his tastes had changed. He waited a while to be sure and is now revamping his cellar. He offered me a really good good friend's deal that I couldn’t refuse on some of my favorites. Everything is 4+ years old. Leo is my desert island favorite blend and hasn’t been made in 8 years.  Nice. I don't remember ever seeing Leo before. I don't remember the SH blends, either, but that's because I had no awareness of SH at all. |

Delivered today. The 2 oz bag is Arango - Balkan Supreme Are these new things to try, or restocks? These are all new. I'm exploring new things - with latakia. Ronv69 sent my a great (discontinued) tobacco several months ago and ruined me. Now I'm looking into things other than aromatics. I'm liking SPC Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged and some others. Looking at "Balkins". And Ronv69 suggested Bengal Slices. |

I recently got into exploring Balkans a little bit, too. Bengal Slices, Lancer's Slices, and Fusilier's Ration would be interesting to smoke sequentially and compare. |

Thanks! That is exactly what I've been doing. I agree Brett is pretty good, very convincing as Holmes. |

Johnlawitzke is the Debonair (kinda like Brett)forum gent on pipes and tobacco.
Having said that, yes, Jeremy Brett played the role convincingly like no other, and his Holmes was no slouch.
The nice thing (at least for me), I forgot the episodes of the past and enjoy reviewing, and seeing what I had missed.

My order from Esterval's, which has already been shipped once and inexplicably delivered back to them, now on its second attempt continues to sit in Rodgau, Germany, where it has been since the 8th.

You seem to have the worst luck with shipping. I'm guessing you've already contacted them about this? |

I reached out to Esterval's on the 21st. Have not gotten a response. |

From Esterval’s site. www.tecon-gmbh.de/news.php?news_id=218#newsid218Paraphrased: “Due to Covid-19 pandemic, no tobacco cannot be shipped to Canada, Australia, and New Zealand”. That is really strange how Covid 19 affects the ability to transport any tobacco products to the royal/ loyal subjects! No criticism of Esterval’s, just pointing out the arbitrary use of using a crisis to target the importation of a product they despise. |

Is anyone else having trouble greetings shipments from Mr Snuff? I had to get a replacement order for a $100 order. Thankfully they broke from the website warning and offered to ship it a second time. It shipped in Feb the first time and never arrived. This time it's been since April 7. Fingers crossed!

I looked at Mister Snuff's page on shipping policies and sadly it sounds like the UK has gone nutso. www.mrsnuff.com/pages/covid-19-shippingThem two things tell me that they are limiting cargo shipments in and out and that they are deeming what is essential and what is not, whereas, it was not heretofore. That means knuckleheads are probably delegated the responsibility on what leaves the ground and what doesn't.... As Mike Rowe would say..."As I see it". |
