Buying pipes and tobacco is the only thing keeping me sane lol. Makes look forward to the future vs the present.
Tobacco Acquirements for May 2020

Same. I have been stimulating the tobacco economy like crazy lately...a lot of good stuff is being released consecutively and it's hard to say no!
That's awesome! I'm glad you got your stuff. Some of the things you got might take a while to adjust to. I'd recommend starting with that Amphora pack and working up to the others. That Warped is going to have some strong flavors (cigar leaf), the HH Rustica will pack a nic hit in addition to some heavy flavors I'd think, Salty Dogs is delicious but you may benefit from some time developing a cadence prior to digging into it (it will smoke hot if pushed). That Amphora pack will help you to gain a deeper understanding of the flavor you're experiencing and how different types of leaf will act in the pipe and in response to your cadence. Just my two cents and I'm still really new to the hobby myself. Enjoy my friend!
Thanks @brandaves I plan on starting with the amphora! Really looking forward to getting through the packs!
Father Dempsey and Arango landed.
Man, SP could have used a thicker bag for the Arango. Even in the box in the car on the trip home the smell was potent. Looking forward to trying it. I can't believe I'm a bit short on mason jars. May vaccu seal some.

Jars are cheap
I like how the bag label says “only for sale in United States”. I guess you technically bought it in the US and has it shipped to you.
I've wondered about that and kept my mouth shut. That along with all the shipments that somehow made it to me without a stop at customs. This one did pause for enough time in customs that I paid $77 in duty and I think $30 in sales tax.
Bulk tobacco is a pretty good deal to import into Canada from the US. Consider a pouch of Captain Black . . . which is perhaps, with exaggeration, an ounce, and cost for that pouch is about $25 . . . and correct me if I am wrong fellow Canucks. This is maybe 1/4 the price . . . probably less.
Now I have to change my name and go into hiding . . . dang.
Mail call. Anniversary gift as well.
You should be quite happy with a lot of those!
My priority mail package of MacBaren HH Rustica has been stuck in the Irving sort center since 07MAY. Typically when stuff gets there I have it the next day. My sister works at UPS, and they are having the same problems USPS is having.
I would love to hear what galloping gertie is like.
In the mail today, a Watch City Cigar delivery. 4oz ea of The Churchwarden, Persian Slipper, and Ernie's first Micro-Batch Project "Undead Scottsman". Only 4oz of the Undead Scottsman per customer and it sold out fairly quickly. I hope I like it, but I hope not too much given it is unobtanium from here on out.
Landed a few Bones. The Rattray's Goblin is for scale. I may go cross eyed lighting the little guys but they both have a fair sized bowl. All the Morgan Bones have a rustic attraction that is hard to describe.

Those stems are sweeet!
Where did you source that? Good pick up man. I would put that into deep sleep for a couple years if you have the patience.
A good friend sent it to me at cost. I opened one. Plan on cellaring the other for sure!
