Accessories Wanted WTB or WTT Tobacco Samples

I've been smoking mostly the same blends for about 10 years now, and I had the bad luck to settle on several favorites that eventually went OOP. Now that my stockpiles are finally running low, I'm starting to look around for new (in-production) blends to try out, but I don't really want to go out and buy a mountain of 2oz tins of things only to discover I don't like most of them.

So, to that end, I'm looking for someone who'd be willing to sell and/or trade me a bunch of samples (2-3 bowls each blend). If we're trading, preferably I'd like to swap at least 6-10 samples rather than doing a bunch of 1-for-1 trades with different folks.

Here's what I'm looking for (but this list is not exhaustive, and I'm probably interested in whatever else you have):

• C&D Opening Night
• C&D Yorktown
• GLP JackKnife Plug
• GLP Fillmore
• GLP Stonehenge
• GLP Union Square
• GLP Temple Bar
• GLP géométrie
• Peterson 3P
• Peterson Irish Flake
• Peterson University Flake
• Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake
• Sam Gawith 1792
• Vincent Manil La Volute
• Vincent Manil Le Petit Robin
• Watch City Rhythm & Blues
• Watch City Flake #558

Here's what I have for trade:

• Esoterica Penzance
• Esoterica Stonehaven
• GLP Bohemian Scandal
• GLP Horizons
• GLP Navigator
• GLP Haddo's Delight
• GLP Cairo
• G&H Dark Birdseye
• G&H Brown Irish X
• G&H Bob's Chocolate Flake
• MacBaren Old Dark Fired
• McClelland Blackwoods Flake
• McClelland Three Oaks Syrian
• Peterson Early Morning Pipe
• SPC Plum Pudding
• Vincent Manil La Brumeuse

Most of my stuff is semi-recently purchased, but a few (Haddo's, Cairo, Bohemian Scandal, Penzance, Blackwoods, 3 Oaks) are old stock and aged between 8-12 years each before popping the tins. I'll probably ask for a favorable ratio if you want anything Esoterica and/or OOP. And sample them at your own risk—it's a rough thing to fall in love with a blend that's already gone forever.

Update: I've made a couple trades but am still looking for most of the things on my list. I've added a couple new wants, removed Plum Pudding from my haves list (I ended up smoking the last of my open jar ), and added McC’s Royal Cajun Dark.

Still looking for:

• C&D Opening Night
• C&D Yorktown
• GLP JackKnife Plug
• GLP Kensington
• GLP Quiet Nights
• GLP Fillmore
• GLP Union Square
• GLP Stonehenge
• GLP Temple Bar
• GLP Pennyfarthing
• GLP géométrie
• Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake
• Sam Gawith 1792
• Vincent Manil La Volute
• Vincent Manil Le Petit Robin
• Watch City Rhythm & Blues
• Watch City Flake #558

Still for trade:

• Esoterica Penzance
• Esoterica Stonehaven
• GLP Bohemian Scandal
• GLP Horizons
• GLP Navigator
• GLP Haddo's Delight
• GLP Cairo
• G&H Dark Birdseye
• G&H Brown Irish X
• G&H Bob's Chocolate Flake
• MacBaren Old Dark Fired
• McClelland Blackwoods Flake
• McClelland Three Oaks Syrian
• McClelland Royal Cajun Dark
• Peterson Early Morning Pipe
• Vincent Manil La Brumeuse

Update on this, now looking for:

• Bengal Slices
• C&D From Beyond
• C&D Opening Night
• C&D Palmetto Balkan
• C&D Yorktown
• GLP Fillmore
• GLP Kensington
• GLP Pennyfarthing
• GLP Stonehenge
• GLP Temple Bar
• GLP Regent's Flake
• GLP Union Square
• GLP Windjammer
• G&H Best Brown No. 2
• Sam Gawith 1792
• Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake
• Vincent Manil Le Petit Robin

You mean re: my last post? I'm just keeping my wants list updated (I've made a few trades and have been able to try several blends on my original list, and I've also added a few new blends wanted).

I wish I could just edit the original post but it seems like the edit feature disappears after a day or two!

I like your tastes! Just a heads up, and to the best of my knowledge, GLP Stonehenge was a limited run blend and is no longer in production.

I too have wondered why GLP, MacBaren, and C&D especially, don't offer some combination of their blends as samples, I don't see how it could do anything but improve their business. Probably just too much red tape unfortunately.
