Here goes...

What a nice selection! The only reason I left that last bag of Partagas is because everybody should have a taste, and I think I need a larger quantity for my nefarious purposes... stuff could be quite good if aged a couple years and then blended right (and by right, I mean with McC 5100 and maybe a little burley and just a tiny dash of perique) and then aged another couple years.

My plays -

Puts:
A couple bowls worth of 25 year old Dunhill Light Flake (all I had left!)
A bit of McClelland 2035
Bag of McClelland 2040
Tin of SG Squadron Leader
Tin of Dunhill Nightcap
Sealed jar of Esoterica Penzance
Sealed jar of McClelland 5100
Some snuff

Takes:
McClelland British Woods (bag)
Marlin Flake (bag)
McClelland #8 (tin)
Dunhill Std. Mixture Medium (tin)

Hope you enjoy, RJPrestridge! Barring catastrophe, it's going out to you tomorrow.

Zach

I was going to try the Cuban Partagas but man did that stuff smell like walking through the stable of horses at a county fair. Oddly enough that is the way I remember the few Cuban Cigars I have had as smelling. The sample of BW is about 8 years old, to my taste it wwas very heavy. I was quite fond of the #8 mix though. Enjoy.

heavy? That BW is aged to perfection, although I'd imagine it's pretty strong brand new. Then again, I love strong english blends... Great addition.

I'll get the box repacked and on it's way on Monday at the latest. Thanks for including me in the loop, it's been fun!

On Ted's recommendation, I also pulled the Robert McConnell's blends to further broaden my pipe tobacco experiences. Thanks Ted! Contents have been reboxed and will be on their way to Ted this afternoon, pm'd Ted with the DC#. Thanks to all of you for letting me join in on this box pass!
