Tobacquisitions - June 2018

[oc_in_fw]

Some blends from HU Tobacco arrived:
Indaba, Nyala, and Makhuwa.

HU Tobacco's book:

Is the book just about their blends, or it is a general knowledge type thing about pipe tobaccos?

There may be something to that. I love my Latakia, but I generally do not smoke English or Balkan blends on the same days that I smoke Virginias or VaBurs.

That sounds like a plan. I smoke several bowls during the night and I’ve been mixing them up. I’ll try what you’re doing and smoke only one type a day.

Not a Brownleaf item but finally picked up a paring knife. For food not for plugs .

Christmas in July! Err June! Thanks @Mike H !

I would guess they are stronger tobaccos?

Medium to medium-strong, going from the info on TobaccoReviews.

Boom! Put a fork in me! I might be done for awhile. Especially if SWMBO is the one stabbing with the fork.

And an aged tin of Union Square.
Almost 10 years separates the two tins and it made me sit back and think of all that has happened over the period. It also makes me wish I was into pipes back then!! Imagine having a cellar full of 10 year old tins!

And finally a Cigar Bomb of ISOMs.

Oh oh. I think I just glimpsed a picture of my future.

I don’t buy sticks in bulk anymore as I don’t smoke them too often. So when is do smoke one I am gonna smoke a good/premium one!

A fancy catalog of all the blends in book format. German language, but you can still figure out blend components.

Which company do you use for Salty Dogs orders?

I'm trying to head in the quality direction. I think I've got a fairly nice base of cigars laid down. Looking forward to adding small purchases of things I want to try.

Onward to a few pipe tobaccos I think.

Just found this "Made in Italy" pipe tool in a box belonging to my wife's grandfather. Pretty cool, I thought.
