I've lucked out by finding a cigarette outlet chain which purchased a warehouse of tobacco when CVS drug chain discontinued selling tobacco products. I've loaded up on Lane products fo $0.50 a pouch if I buy $10.00 at a time. Also bought Borkum Riff for $4.95 an 8 oz. tin. Got stuff stashed everywhere so my wife doesn't get too upset.
@bruceg Those are some excellent deals you've got there. Especially if you were able to snag any Captain Black for 50 cents a pouch. I'm not a big fan of Borkum Riff but have smoked quite a bit in my time, and for a price like that you can't beat it. Happy smoking.
@buflosab That's great to know I bough a tin of it a while back but it's suppose to be part of my Christmas girfts. My wife has a carboard box of several blends set aside for Christmas. One that I'm really looking forward to trying is the W.O. Larson blend. Don't remember which one it is since it's been under the bed so long. But I was looking forward to the Sutliff Taste Of Summer as well.
Going out today to buy patio stones for under the new chimenea (chiminea?) so I can stay out on the rear deck as weather gets colder. Then a bowl of Barbados Plantation in my second Carey (an apple), bought back in the day after I lost my first Carey, a billiard, in the woods of Pennsylvania.
@pwkarch -- What, did I somehow telegraph my choice? <giggle>. But seriously, I'm jonesing for the Sunset Rum and the Cross Eyed Cricket you reviewed. I have two unopened tins of Barbados Plantation, but then I just might go wild and change my tobacco of choice.
@motie2 I just got back from picking up my oldest grandson from school, and smoked my Chocolate Mpusse / Carter Hall mix. I had forgotten I was going to smoke some Sutliff Buttered Rum and review that.....maybe tonight or this weekend if I can remember. So stand by.....might be another rum blend you might also want to try.
I have enough trouble not coveting some/many of the pipes I see here -- and elsewhere. Now I must gird my loins and resist the temptation to try other rum blends, and especially the Sunset Rum and the Cross Eyed Cricket...... bothofwhichlookreallytasyandgoshdarnitImuststopthislestIfallintosin.
@motie2 No real sin.......we are human. I ran out of time this evening, but just for you I will take one for the Corps and take the Sutliff Butter Rum for a test drive this weekend......I will provide an appropriate "after action report".

Allow me to gently disagree with @ghostsofpompeii - Good perique doesn't smell anything like what he described and it isn't crap tobacco.

Now, I lust after a couple of the blends you've reviewed......
Ah Ah, lusting is a sin. "Thou shalt not covet thy friends tobacco"......
