After digging out from all the rubble and locating all the undetonated incendaries, here are pictures and lists of the remains.
First up, the monstrous amounts of samples.
Solani 660 Silver Flake
Soani 656 Aged Burley Flake
C&D Purple Cow
Esoterica Penzance (2 samples from different Brothers)
John Patton Storm Front
Gawith, Haggarth & Co. Coniston Cut Plug
Dan Tobacco Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend
Esoterica Tilbury
Esoterica Stonehaven
Hearth & Home Larry's Blend
MacBaren Old Dark Fired
Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake
G.L. Pease Union Square
4Noggins Father Orin
4Noggins Weybridge
Larger samples, and a half-pound jar:
C&D Cross Eyed Cricket
C&D Comfort (from 2008)
Samuel Gawith Brown Rope #4 (I may have photographed this one twice
)
Cousin's Cigar Blend 1000 (from a Cleveland, Ohio B&M)
John Patton Storm Front
Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake (massive quantity)
Next, the tins sent by the Brothers. Several Brothers noticed that I'm a fan of MacBaren non-aromatics. :lol:
MacBaren Golden Extra
MacBaren Stockton
MacBaren Plumcake
MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired (Get to save this as another Brother sent me a generous sample)
C&D Guilford Flake
Davidoff Green Mixture
And then there are the non-tobacco bombs.
A handmade stand for a pipe, with the Peterson logo on the base.
A fancy pewter tamper (very heavy).
A MM Cob to try samples in.
A book on the air war in the Pacific in WWII (Dad was a U.S. Navy Corpsman serving the Marine landings, and one of my uncles was a tail-gunner in a Marine B-25).
And a motorcycle touring book (Right up my alley, you could say).
I am definitely overwhelmed; I feel like I don't deserve all of this. The Brotherhood is so generous, with knowledge, advice, and now with excessive gifts. I feel very honored, and yet fearful, as Commander Blackhorse stated that more is to come.
I won't be able to post anything about additional bombs until late next week, as I have to go prep the bike (clean and oil the chain, adjust slack, check oil, etc.) to leave for northern Virginia tomorrow with my buddy Tim for a Civil War site tour.
Again, my humble thanks, to all of you guys.
