Oh yes, I definitley have the others on my list,
965
Nightcap
Penzance.
I went through about 4oz of Old Tavern in January but with school starting up next week, I think I will be going through a bit more while studying. I really cant wait to get the delivery... well maybe I should pick up the others and let them sit. I won the pool for the second quarter of the Super Bowl when Pittsburgh ran back the interception at the end of the second quarter. Fate?

Peter Stokkeby Luxury Twist Flake 4oz
G.L. Pease Haddo's Delight 8oz
McClellands Blackwood Flake 50g
I tried to take a suggestion from each person but can only smoke so much! I will start working in these blends on my Meershaum and report back with the results. Thanks again.

Holy guacamole, that's a lot of Haddo's Delight! Nothing wrong with that. My tin smells very liquorishy, I will have to give it a try.
Good choices!

McClellands Blackwood Flake
Esoterica Penzance
Rattrays Black Mallory
Davidoffs Night Cap
Squadron Leader
Yum!!!!!!!!

Wow what a great haul! Let me know when you want to meet up at tobacco barn....I was just there last night for 2 hours looking at their pipes trying to figure out what pipe I wanted to buy...Tom is very nice and helpful and we narrowed it down. I couldnt be happier with my new sav!

You got it. Do they have a chess set there? I think I will need to find an estate pipe to sell before my wife lets me get a new pipe, it was between the Meerschaum (which I got) and a straight Bjarne Viking with a rustic finish.

Im not sure about the chess set and Ive only been in there to look around for a quick second. But Im sure it would be fun to go in there and have a smoke while talking with Tom

How are the prices in the store? I know that some of their online prices are/were outrageous, so I didn't even consider going into their B&M.

To tell you the truth Im not sure how their prices stack up against online prices but They are very helpful and have spent many hours helping me out which is worth more than $10 Ill save ordering on the net. Not to mention they have a ton of stock and a nice lounge....

I owe you sir! Haddos Delight, amazing! Great suggestion, so far I have tried the Haunted Booshop which smelled light ciggarettes (gonna give it another go), Penzance was good, but Haddos, GL Pease should make a womans perfume of HD, my wife would never be able to leave the house.

I will bring some HD when we get to The Tobacco Barn. I havent tried Escudo, but still have Red Virginia, Blckwood Flake, Squadron Leader to try. I also ordered XMAS Cheer 08 and Frog On The Town when ordering my Brebia from smokingpipes.com.How does Thursday sound for the Tobacco Barn? I get off anywhere from 3:30-5pm.
