Three cheers for Teh Interwebs!! :partygrin:

I'll wait until P&C has it back in stock for $15.87 and grab a couple then.

I'm not sure what it is here, but that's just a stupid tax for pipe tobacco.....

$18 for Nightcap and$ 21 for Escudo,all due to state taxes.And they are now trying to or already passed
a user tax on web purchases in Okla.They are trying to tax us into submission.I wont go into a rant here,
I picked up a tin of Nightcap just to say I did,but the clerk kind of tick me off when he couldn't stop
texting long enough to do his job.Those prices are in Edmond,they have since passsed another sales
tax hike.

Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake is back in stock at smokingpipes.com

Yeah its crazy.
We're pretty good on cigars. The tax is only fifty cents per stick, no matter the price. Same for a Padron 80 years or a Brickhouse.
That keeps our cigar prices within $1.00 of online prices, so I buy most of my cigars locally.

Can't do that with pipe tobacco.
Orlik Golden Sliced is $17.50 a tin at my shop. Not their fault though.
I buy bulk tobacco there every great now and then, but its rare.

Just picked these up for ~$30 shipped on the e-bay. They're unfinished, so I can be artistic with them.

Momma gave me a tobacco allowance so I managed to get the CAW Sampler from P&C last sunday,,

And the Goodie Box

Looks like a nice score for an aro lover but only the SPC Potlatch would interest me. I've always refrained from the goodie bag deal, leaving them for pipers less picky than me. I'm not above aromatics but I don't like 99% of them. I still have 3.9 of the 4oz of Lane 1Q I bought 4 or 5 years ago. Just don't like the stuff. Good to see you got something you enjoy :pipe:

I'll admit 1Q didn't quite meet the hype I've read.It is good but not one of my favorites.The LL Dark Red
is very good and will be on my want list.I tried a bowl of Cult Blood Red Moon,and I simply loved it.Didn't
think I would ever say that about a cherry blend,but the tin note blew me away.The taste was a tad
underwhelming but still quite good.It does need a bit of drying.it was very moist in the tin.I'm looking
forward to popping the top on that Potlatch,been on my want to try list forever.
