Has anyone smoked the new packaged Escudo??

[RJpuffs]

I haven't popped a new(er) tin yet so no idea on that.

However, prices have jumped. Smokingpipes went from $8.40 to $9.27 guess the new distributor uses premium gasoline for his delivery trucks!

Wow, I got a real good laugh out of that! Bad thing is, when you aspirate Jack Daniels it'll cause a fierce coughing fit!

I have one natural pipe that i use the forehead/nose to get some oil on the tobacco/smoke coloring. (i was remarking the other day how, of all my pipes that natural stain is one of my favorites.)

Which blends? Sobranie can still be found and also the Escudo and Dunhill.......just takes a little looking.

I read somewhere about some one buying a tin of sobranie for 60 bucks, I definitely don't have 60 bucks to blow on just one tin. Maybe someday i'll track one down.

Yhr tins are rather expensive, the pouches arent so bad, but not the same as the tin mixture. PM incoming.

how about the three nuns, im considdering buying a 10y 100g tin for 60. But is it really worth it?

In short........YES. I really enjoyed the older three nuns blends. If Bruce happens to look at this thread, he can weigh in.

That's like the guys who covet $200 cigars.
How f'in good can it possibly be?

I'd take the 60 bucks and buy 7 or 8 tins of sumptin' else.

I would love to try all three of these but I'm a poor college kid and I need a little more bang for the buck. Quality can't be that much better than quantity.....right?
