Thanx to you Mike for assembling this pass and allowing me to play! Ken :tongue:
Pacem en Puffing! :tongue:

 

[pipetongue1]

Sorry guys, Will ship to-day and get back to you with conf#, Ken.

 

[Tennessee Dave]

Nice pass, Ken

 

[Carlos]

Great play Ken!

That sliced black twist is Gawith Hoggarth & Co. I really think they screwed up and overcooked a batch. But then, I recently got 500g of #12 mixture from them and it was unlike any #12 I have received in the past. I am afraid to order any more.

Hey Dock, Incoming! Conf#0307-1790-0004-6367-4476 Enjoy! Ken :tongue:
Pacem en Puffing! :tongue:

 

[Dock]

Very well done Dad! :cheers:

I'll keep my good eye out for it!

 

[Mr_Houston]

Nice job Ken. Looks like you got to sample a lot.

 

[Mikem]

Fantastic pass Ken. You have done it again.

Doc when you are finished with the box and have managed to drag yourself away from all the fine blends that everyone has so graciously added to the box please hold it until I'm sure that Vaporfavour will be able to receive it. Thanks

 

[J_Rock]

Outstanding pass Ken.

 

[Trout Bum]

Well played, Ken! The pass just seems to be getting better as it progressess...

 

[jhuggett]

Very cool Ken!

 

[Dock]

Fantastic pass Ken. You have done it again.

Doc when you are finished with the box and have managed to drag yourself away from all the fine blends that everyone has so graciously added to the box please hold it until I'm sure that Vaporfavour will be able to receive it. Thanks

10-4 Mikey. I'll wait til' I get the word from ya before sending it out....

 

[eggman]

Ken great play. You added some great tobaccos to the box.

 

[Dock]

BaB's has landed folks! I need to go buy some pastic bags for the samples I'm gonna leave. I should have my list of puts and takes by Saturday and will prolly be sending it out again by Monday....

 

[Dock]

I've started working my way through the samples today. I'm particularly impressed with the Peter Stokkebye's "Cube Cut Burley". It's pretty simple and straightforward but very charming in it's way. The McCranie's "Red Ribbon" was also a nice surprise. I'll plan on cellaring some of this for sure!

I smelled the three Cornell & Diehl samples and nearly gagged! They seem to have a whiskey topping. Definetely not my cup o' tea. I'm also not a big rope guy and will be leaving the samples that my dad included for a further passer with a stronger stomach.

I'll be listing my puts and takes tonight...

 

[Dock]

Ok Folks! Here's my much anticiapated list of puts and takes! This year's pass was the best ever in my opinion! Everything was super fresh and the box itself is HUGE and overflowing with tins and bags! Mikem Rocks for doing this yet again! There was very little extra room in it when I opened it and I had to toss the remaining packing peaunuts to be able to fit my puts. The next passers may have to opt for a bigger box eventually! :cheers:

Puts:

Sutliff Private Stock "Great Outdoors" 8 oz
Sutliff Private Stock "CD Blend" 8 oz
John Aylesbury "Latakia Blend" 4 oz
