What did you get today?

He's my herfcat. Doesn't mind the smell, hates the smoke.

As anyone who has or knows someone that did/is knows, with livestock you don't just stop in the middle of the day. Well unless a box arrives and has this in it:

Then comes a short period of time to regain your breath, meditate to slow your heart down, and look some of these up to see what they are.

Couldn't thank @ShawnOL enough for the variety, time spent in weighing, packaging, and writing on each.

@ShawnOL one of these days we’re gonna have to get you back ya know

ShawnOL

You're very welcome, Ed. Just a couple bowls of each, like i said. The nerd in me loved doing it.

Mike, don't get any ideas.

The other part part of the haul from the treasure trove trip. So good. Most of the stuff on his shelves, which are dwindling, are no newer than 2021 or so.

Edit: The GH and Scottish Blend are from the Kretek International days. Pretty neat.

Nice pipes, Stephen. Nice tobacco cabinet, as well.

Attempting to find a replacement Christmas morning blend. I've been smoking a bowl of Samuel Gawith Christmas Mixture every Christmas morning since 2007. Just one bowl. I've maybe two Christmas mornings left before it's all gone.

Caveat…. I have not smoked either of these. I hope you find something you can enjoy. Sounds like a nice tradition.

Cringle flake seems to be a Christmas favorite for a lot of people.

Lol, I gave all the cringle flake away last year. 🤷‍♂️ No foresight?

Yakster

Since Cringle Flake was made by Sutliff I doubt that it will be back, I don't think STG will bother with small batches like this.

ShawnOL

Or they may wait a few years and bring back all of sutliff's best sellers, charging double for them.

So….you’ve bypassed the whole “he’s low” thing straight to admitting you’re out 🤔

You can always hope but everything I've read about STG makes this very doubtful.

I get put off by the Katerini. 🤷‍♂️ Otherwise, it sounds great.

That's what intrigued me. Pretty sure I've never tried any, so this looked like good mix to try some.
Not sure what to expect taste wise. I've seen it described anywhere from Currie to honey tastes....,.But I'm sure my three taste buds I have left will pickup something completely different.

Ups dropped this off, found out my girlfriend ordered my birthday gift but didn’t expect me to be the one at home to sign for it. So it’s an early birthday gift now, I have not unwrapped them and looked at them yet. I put them back in the box and I’ll have to wait for another week until I can open them.

The pipes in the five packs are better
