[QUOTE="jefe1037, post: 260286, member: 2290"] Last week i picked up a bulk called "Sweet Virginia" from a B&m that i was unaware of until recently. Bull and Bear in Naperville has only one or two sutliff tinned tobaccos, but a few dozen bulks. A few reeked of coconut (suntan lotion sprayed over 1q? rob want to give some home flavoring a try?) or looked overly brandy-soaked, but this broken flake piqued my interest. They also have one called "965" and a couple others that have promise. I assure you, fine sirs, that I will make the sacrifice and report to you. Always like stopping in a b&m of course (cigar heavy, but like i said, ok bulk selection) I definitely got the really? pipe tobacco? treatment from the gentleman who helped me, but mostly because i was wearing pajama pants (i take my days off VERY seriously). All of their bulks have a "House label" which makes me suspicious of "the usual Lane suspects" with fancy new names, most with "stock market" references. (bull and bear, chicago, commodities market, sports teams....groan, i love cornball humor, so this is right up my alley) I will go next time with a little more formal attire (bluejeans, clean t-shirt) so i feel a little more respectable asking who does their blending for them.
