Hey! You guys save Puff Daddy a sample of the Dark Strong Kentucky!
 
Tony;

Also, thanks for stocking up the Lancers Slices. It's a tobacco that I've always wanted to try, but don't see stocked around here. I recall that Mike was or did put in a sample for me.
 
Nice pass boys, JP enjoy that Maltese Falcon thats some very special stuff, I look forward to seeing what a year or two in the tin will offer.

Midnight,

Maltese Falcon is some awesome stuff! I had the opportunity to try it at last month's club meeting and when I saw it in the box, sorry folks, I just couldn't pass it up for my take! I will savor it. I have never smoked a Latakia blend quite....actually not at all like it. It is without a doubt one of the smoothest blends that I have ever smoked...it comes awfully close to being almost as good as "The Satisfier" (Walnut)! :shock: :D :lol: :shock: :D :lol:

Sorry, I just couldn't resist that opportunity to plug my all time favorite blend!

Thanks!
 
FYI for the west box:

I've come to realize the bag I used for the Ynidje Supreme doesn't hold moisture. I just grabbed some bags out of a drawer full and apparently they must be freezer bags. I came to this conclusion when I went to go for a sample I pulled and it was completely dry.

I think I may have used the same bags for the open tins of Hamborger Veermaster and Arcadia, so you may want to replace those bags whenever you get the chance.
 
The East Coast box, from NC, hit the front porch today at 3:30 pm. Man that's over three thousand miles. It is sitting on my kitchen counter,,,,,yet to be opened. It is a little battle worn. Kinda mushed up a little,,,,,maybe purple heart stuff,,,,,no bronze star, but close. Ty, the IED sniffin Border Collie, will check it out before I go in. It will definitely need a new box so I'll open it with my saws-all.

I will report on the condition of the contents as soon as I crack the sarcophagous.

Thanks Leroy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,er,,, uh,,, Mark. I'm spectin to find a long, big ass whuppin cigar.

Holy Shiite!

Aside from two small sheets of bubble wrap, this thing is solid tobacco.

There are so many zip-lock samples that no other packaging was needed for protection. Just plain BAB's fat.

The smell is incredible and is wafting through the whole house.

There is NO damage,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,luckily, there was a large bag of Walnut body armor that absorbed most of crunching,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a tobacco Hum-Vee.

tj,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,in sensory overload.

Is this a sin?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I think so!
 
Since Bill and Hill disclosed their tax returns, it is only democratic that the free world is made aware of what's in this thing.

I have opened a WordPerfect file to post my sampling to. I will take the full six days and smoke nothing BUT box pass stuff. After which I'll post here. MAYBE I'll send the box on to Puff Daddy. Maybe not.

Starting sample is GLP Maduro Cut Cake. How can it NOT be first?
