TAD

Any idea these compare to Peretti's burley blends?

Swede, I find Uhle’s 00 reminds me of the taste of Granger. Uhle’s Perfection Plug Burley is like PS 41 Cube Cut blended with Edgeworth Ready Rubbed. Both are excellent and shipping was just as fast as SP. L.J. Peretti's has its own unique taste and feel. Kinda like an American Gawith & Hoggarth. BPC (Burley Plug Cut) is really good and you can see the old world quality in this tobacco. No. 8 Slice is an outstanding Virginia Perique. I did not like their Burley Blend DD! Super quality leaf, but an acquired taste.

TAD quelled for the remainder of 2022. I was able to land a 8oz box of Samuel Gawith Full Virginia PLUG At Watch City Cigars! I know what your thinking...but your wrong! No more TAD until 2023.

Well, the style is a bit different but the quality is certainly there. They are both very highly regarded.

Did the same. Even though I am not a FVF fan I felt like I needed to give it one more go.

Give in to TAD, no, no, no. Buy more tobacco, no, no, no. Try some G&H Rum Flake, well maybe, lol.

-sigh- despite a valiant effort, I failed to talk myself out of the release of the Dan Mallard Flake with Perique. Somehow, three other tins are in the order as well.

The inability to resist temptation runs deep with the BoB!!!!!!!! FTRPLT

Two days ago I ordered a pound of each of some John Patton blends: Dark & Stormy, Storm Front, and Dark Horse. 4Noggins.com is the only place that carries John Patton blends as far as I can tell, so that's where I got it.

TAD thought process:

I have just one flint left for the Zippo lighters. I should really stop by one of the alleged tobacco shops and get some;
I wonder how much those are going for now? Let me look at my usual places...just for flint prices....
20 minutes later, 3 little packages of flints ordered -- and four tins (Sterling Flake, Wallace Flake, St. Bruno's Flake, Pease Sixpence)

The flints were an enabler.

Is that better or worse than 'excuse'?

Well maybe An alibi

 

[ftrplt]

My normal excuse for ordering more/extra is to get "free" shipping!! FTRPLT

Pretty much the same. Lol.

I will order something twice the price of shipping to get the free shipping and still tell myself I'm saving money

My best TAD enabler has participation with my wife. Smoke Eater candles at Boswell's. They carry many different scents for her to choose from which makes her very happy. The Springy scents, Summer, Fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas. They have scents for every one of the tobacco drops in your rotation.

Now the trick is not to order too many which allows you to place orders more often. Ordering more candles allows you to order more tobacco. That special hard to get blend shows up at Boswell's just remind her we could use a few more candles. Special Reserve Release, take a few candles to work for the workspace. Esoterica shows up, throw all of the candles in the trash and remind yourself how much you're saving by not having to purchase it on the secondary market.

I am off to check my flint and wick inventory now. That e-mail from SmokingPipes.com on the new 4th Generation Resolution Small Batch Limited Edition has me wondering how good it is.

Thanks for the tip, DrT.

Much needed and just in time.

I ordered a half kilo of Gawith Hoggarth Black Twist (cut) because Pipes & Cigars sent me a 15% off coupon that was burning a hole in my pocket. Then I had to buy a half kilo of GH Scotch Flake, so I could get free shipping. Now they'll probably send me another coupon to keep me coming back! They know how to market their products.

Ordered an 8 oz SG Navy Flake to replace the one I am finishing. The 10 year old stuff tastes better. I should have bought 2. One to age.

Ever since @JimInks posted his review of GLP Géométrie on tobaccoreviews.com I've been waiting for the release. It was a good enough reason to order Drucquer Casbah along with Pease Gaslight and Spark Plug to complete an English/Balkan Flake/Cake/Plug order. To save on shipping I added Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match for my old tobacconist, and C&D Bright Virginia Ribbon and Red Virginia Ribbon for my wife's paper pipes.

What's a paper pipe? Does she smoke roll your own cigarettes? Where did you place this order, if you don't mind me asking?
