On the lookout for new chicks
Didn’t see another thread started so here’s one for October.

Currently in Panama with my family on vacation. Stopped off earlier this week with my daughters and got a Panama hat. Today we went to the mall and I got a few cigars for special occasions.

Slickness is a sickness
No pic, but just received a tin of Scarecrow, along with 2oz samples of Cap's Blend, Chocolate Cavendish, Old Joe Krantz (C&D sale 🙂), a pouch each of Amphora Kentucky and Original...and a new tamper.

Bit of an aro kick, and the Scarecrow smells wonderful. I'm planning to have a smoke today.
 
Tobaccopipes had their "random tins" come back for a little bit last week and I couldn't resist haha. Grabbed 10. Did pretty good this time! Only 3 aros out of the 10 haha.

The aros were a large tin of captain black white, sutliff great outdoors, and cult blood red moon.

The good stuff 🤣:

Peterson old dublin, pete balkan mixture, pete nightcap, Cascadia campsite, robert McConnell latakia flake, Presbyterian mixture, ashton artisans blend.

Scored this pioneer meer. Needs a good bit of work but it should turn out nice. Gotta clean up the meerschaum stummel, deoxidize the stem, and figure out how to tighten up the tennon/stem fit a bit. It has a different tennon setup that I haven't tinkered with before but shouldn't be a problem.

Pretty big fan of any non aro blend. Think I've only ever found a blend or two I didn't really click with hahaha. These random tins are fun though. I had no clue what I was going to receive before hand. Just 10 random pulls from their scratch and dent pile haha. I've been pretty lucky with them though. Receiving some good blends and only a few aros. Some blends I've never had and some I don't mind having some extra around haha. I tend to smoke most latakia based stuff through the winter though with some others mixed in here and there.

You did very well. Last time I ordered those, I ended up with 6 pouches of amphora, 3 of Half and half and 1 tin of Orik's golden. to their credit, they threw in a few extra pouches of Walter Raleigh. I smoked the Orik's but the others were not my cup of tea. That's the luck of the draw.

Yeah there is definitely a risk. I am always afraid of receiving all aro blends lol
