I’ll try to get Huffelpuff’s prize posted up by Monday.  Been buried around here putting the house back together...finally.

 

[glassjapan]

So...tell us Don Pardo, what does our lucky contestant get?

Well Johnny, Pilot #19 wins two great prizes. First, a gorgeous tin of McClelland Pebblecut. This is the reintroduction of the old Ashton blend which many folks think is better.  And of course it’s no longer available ANYWHERE!

“Selected red mottled leaf from Carolina, rich in flavor and oils, small Oriental leaves from Macedonia of piquant aroma, bright nut-flavored broad leaf from Virginia, and pure Louisiana perique all combine to form the framework of this blend which is hard-pressed and then lightly stoved to smooth and enrich, Pebblecut long-flake pipe tobacco is savory with a concert of ever-changing flavors, always intriguing, never dull.”



Plus...he gets a healthy quarter pound dose of “Sha’Are Orah” tinned in April of 2012 by Cornell & Diehl.

“This is a substantial blend with a special cubed burley base. It derives its subtle essence from the delicate interplay of Turkish leaf and Perique, further mellowed by stoved red Virginias...a microcosm of leaf adroitly balanced results in intricate and surprising flavors.”

So a Sunday bomb rolls up on my unsuspecting wife today. Very much appreciated!!!  Both blends are new to me and very anxious to give them a try. Many thanks!

glassjapan - you know that the Pebblecut is a McClelland...and the last of its kind. It’s a rare breed.

Holly crap-ola Batman!!!!! I just seen your comment about McClelland and the last of its kind. I loved almost everything they put out. All the frog series (except cellar I never knew anything about that one til now), McCrainies red ribbon 1983, Arcadia and several of the Christmas cheers. I still have a unopened tin of Frog Morton from 1997. Everything from McClellands is demanding big $$$$$ on the bay.

Yeah Eggy - looks like you missed a sad piece of recent history. Sort of.

Score! I like the Hebraica series, and bought Or Olam and Boker Or in bulk back when you could. I am glad to see them back, even if they are tin only these days.

OK.  As promised, here is the prize that Huffelpuff won for his extraordinary riddle solving expertise coupled to being first to submit the winning entry.

What does our lucky player win, Vanna?

He wins a Wyoming Winter Wonderland package.  It has the materials and items needed for a quick fix when it’s COLD outside.

1. 500 gm pack of Gawith Kendal Gold shag cut RYO tobacco.
2. 20+ packs of premium rolling papers in three popular sizes.
3. 8 packs of paper tips.
4. 3 packs of filter tips.
5. 3 different sizes of rolling “machines” to match the paper sizes.

I’ve tested this setup before and have been very impressed. With very little practice one can quickly and easily produce some stellar smokes with the above gear.  Just be sure to match the size of the paper to the right machine.

He’s all packed up and ready to rock-n-roll. It should go out later today or tomorrow for sure.

Congrats Mr. Puff!

Now that is a heck of a prize package! Just in the nick of time too. It was a whopping 5*F this morning with 5 inches of snow on the ground.

Jim

I gotta add very much appreciated too. I can't handle more than a few minutes outside before my hands and feet go numb.

 

[Blackhorse]

You might try wearing gloves...and shoes!  :lol:

Actually...the prizes were picked out just for your situation which you’ve commented on before. (We aim to please.)


PS:;the prize pkg is in the mail.

 

[Stick]

Cracking prize, that. Well played Jim! And thanks to BH too for pulling all this together

Very sad indeed. I really hate to hear this news. I sure it was a very sad day in the tobacco. It upset me hearing it last night 8 months after it happened.

Damn 5*f and 5 inches of snow! That sounds like a living Hell to me. I really don’t like snow or cold weather.

 

[eggman]

That is a awesome prize. Way to go BH.

 

[huffelpuff]

As much as I despise snow and cold I hate the heat worse. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if the spousal unit would shut the window and at least turn down the box fan. It had to be about -10 in the bedroom last night with the windchill lol.

Much appreciated BH you are truly a wonder to behold.

Jim

 

[eggman]

Huffelpuff I completely understand my wife thinks she likes the cold and snow. But if we get a light dusting here she scared to even think about driving to work. She wants me to carry her to Minnesota to visit some of my family in the winter time. When my grandfather passed away it was -45 windchill at the cemetery. I have no desire to go backup there after Halloween. But I have no problem buying HER a plane ticket to shut her up about it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[eggman]

Alright most of the munitions arrived today. Getting everything loaded and the old B-24 fueled up. The pilot and I are being briefed and almost ready to start the checklist to fire everything up.
