Got this in today. Thank you very much, Rusty @Rdp77 for forwarding it to me. Rusty behaved himself this time, in case someone was curious. Thanks for that, too.

Tom Eltang’s Sales Tour Pipes. These pipes bear the ‘Stanwell’ nomenclature but no other stamping aside from the letters ‘TE’ in a circle, and have ebonite stems. These pipes were produced circa 1980 and came about as a result of Tom Eltang’s role as a brand ambassador for Stanwell. Eltang would pick up half-completed stummels from the Borup Stanwell factory and finish them in his own workshop or while on the road, adding his initials to the pipe during the process. 1980-1998.

Mostly blending components. The Engine 382 contains Deertongue, which grows all over my property. Smells fantastic when I mow it, wanted to see how it works in pipe tobacco. Contains something that smells very much like vanilla, old timers around here call it "Deer Tobacco". So, we'll see.
The Pure Caribe intrigued me, also a cigar leaf mixture. One of the smokers who'd reviewed it said it tasted like pure Cocoa Puffs, I suspect it'll have to be blended with something for me to like it, but, hey! What the heck?

Finally got the KBV Dubai Chocolate to correct the mis-shipment. Will try it shortly. The crazy thing is I prefer the Dungeonmeister they shipped by accident over the Orcish Delight I ordered.
The feeling is mutual, @ShawnOL.
What I thought you were doing...
...what you actually did! 🤨
Thank you, sir. My gratitude is much. You've earned what's coming.
Sitting at pipe club today a lady walks in with a big bag of pipes. Right place, right time and unbelievable deal. 1986 Rossi, McCleary, Castello and Matt Tresser pipes.
A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.
@ShawnOL make sure that the plastic tray on the Cob Plug has a great seal, that there's no strands of tobacco at the edges to compromise the seal, and I'd plan on transferring the tobacco to canning jars or Mylar in a few months or so as long as the seal looks great, sooner if there's any problem with the seal.

@ShawnOL Whooo, look at all the good stuff! I'll thank Steve for you. Thank you @Stubble for hooking Shawn up with all that treasure. Too bad you're going to get him hooked on the vanilla roll cake. Dirty trick.

Odd my first response here didn’t make it.
KBV responded:
Sir. We can just ship you a packet of Dubai today. We have some ready to sell already. Enjoy the DungeonMeister as a freebie or gift it to a friend.
Guess they restocked or had a pack somewhere. Great customer service
Kbv has some more ready to sell.. good news.

This is what I thought i was getting.
For some reason there was all this other stuff in the box, as well. "I'm just sending a couple other things for you to try", he says.
What started as a trade for a couple items each way turned into a mega-bomb. Thank you very much, Steve.
To be continued.......

I did not have a smaller box and ran out of bubble wrap. Had to protect those tins any way possible.

You said you'd like to try a couple of things. I just forgot which ones, so...
Enjoy.
Just a quick note... that butter scotch is really fresh and will get on your hands.
