Stocking up for winter.
wow you go quite a bit there! are the all those two tins?
Happy to enable. On the plus side it ages really well.Yes, those will probably last for years. I'll open one and the rest will go in the "cellar". I blame James for turning me on to Irish Oak by listing it as one of his "Must try tobaccos". I tried it, I liked it, now I have enough to age awhile.
Brick House are hand made Nicaraguan-filler cigars that are widely-regarded as one of the best bang-for-your-buck smokes around. That should be a good one
Don't have any experience with the others, but it doesn't look like there should be a bad one in the bunch. All are from well-regarded cigar companies, JC Newman and Fuente.

Nice haul
You'll have to tell me about the Rose of Latakia, haven't tried that one. Be interested in your impression of SG perfection as well.
I have some friends that are avid American Spirit smokers. I would go through a few packs of yellow here and there, and overall was satisfied with their prepackaged offerings. I knew a guy a few years ago who swore by American Spirit Organic in the maroon pouch, so I figured I'd pick that up to tide me over until my D&R package arrived. Ugh, most over priced tobacco I've ever tried in my opinion. Smokes hot, too harsh, and it has such a high burning point that it goes out faster than FSC packaged cigs. Overall very very disappointed. so I bought another pouch of Bali Red and this awesome box roller. Pack a filter on the left, tobacco like normal in the rest of the trench area, then simply pre lick your paper, position it, and close the box and out pops a perfect cigarette from the top of the box. Seems to impress everyone who's seen it so far. Picked it up for $5 at my tobacconist.
I'm a Latakia junkie...really excited about that one.
