Newbie Sampler Trade for Pipes

Well today was the day I had recieved a trade with Andrew and man was I blown away. I was just expecting a few things to try out but Andy decided to send a little bit of everything. It is very much appreciated and I cant wait to jump right into them, starting with the 1977 Macbaren's Plumcake (if thats the date of the tobacco, sorry for the noobness on my tobaccos)
Attachment 4502
Attachment 4503
Attachment 4504
Attachment 4505
Attachment 4506

That is the date! The few that I left un-dated are relatively new, as in 6 or less months old. Anything noteworthy was marked for you!

And, I did receive my end from David - a jar of Bacon Old Fashioned and a jar of Back Down South, both from BriarWorks (but made by Cornell & Diehl). I've only opened the OBF so far and man-oh-man is it awesome!

Thanks, David!

DWmiller, definitely got a great guy for the noob trade! One hell of a BOTL, also knows his stuff!! Congrats and enjoy it!!

I see there are quite a few that have a little bit of age on them. Thanks again Andy for the huge variety of tobacco to experience. Its going to take me a bit to try all of them!

Enjoy the BriarWorks!

I was thinking earlier that I should note what each blend was like, otherwise i'd end up forgetting about a few until I stumble accross it again.

Any interest in continuing with this?

I know the pipe section here on the Bum seems to have died down a fair bit over the years based on number of recent posts, and dates on formerly popular threads.

I'd even go so far, for myself personally, as to bend the rules a little and offer up 5 1oz bags as the NPS for 5 1oz bags from an EPS (unless it's something we'll aged, then I think a half ounce only would be more fair for the EPS)

I friggin love tobacco!

I haven't been here for 8 years. But, I have no objection to continuing the generosity.

Cool, that's 1 vote. I'm willing to bet the issue will be a lack of newbies. I seem to be the only one, and the pipe forum is pretty dead, which is a shame. It seems it's heyday was years ago, and people have stopped posting in here now.

I'd be interested to join up around November.
