Just finished a mini meer (billiard, dark red acrylic bent stem) full of Esoterica And So to Bed - a BOTL co-worker gave me a sample. It's okay but nothing to write home about.

Currently having a bowl (same mini meer) of 9954-7-8. The aforementioned co-worker and I split P&C's "Cut Above" sampler which has 5 different middle of the road tobaccos. Unforch, they didn't label them, so we've got 5 mystery tobaccos The only distinguishing info is a number on the label. He's attempting to track it down.
