Christmas Cheer 2000

[djs134]

Bought 3 tins of this (and one of 99) some weeks ago and have begun to look at it pretty hard, what with Christmas right around the corner and all...

Well tonight, I just couldn't wait any longer to try it. So, I cracked open the tin and took a big whiff! Amazing how pipe tobacco can smell so much like Heinz Catsup!

Rubbed out a bit of it and packed my bowl. Very nice smoke. This tin might just not make it through till Christmas of ’06!

Of course, there are so many baccys to smoke… Marlin Flake, St. James Woods, the Old Gowrie from the 90’s that I couldn’t help but buy, Blackwoods. Where oh where will I find the time?


:dunno: :dunno:

Dude, you are lost beyond all hope of recovery. . .:rofl:

After looking at my "cellar", I'm afraid you're right. In less than a month and a half, I've aquired more than 7 lbs of tobacco. :help: Surely I can't keep going at this rate, can I? :hysterica

 

[Wasch_24]

Yes you can...I have faith!

:rofl:

Enablers, each and every one of you! :eyepoke: :headroll: :headroll:

Better to stock up now ... ya never know when the smoke nazis will visit your state.
And the tobacco will only get better as it age. Most kinds anyway.

Sure Ted! Pile Paranoia onto OCD! Great combo... kind of like a neuroses cocktail! :nono: :rofl:

...was this ever prophetic. Aged tobacco is a wonderful thing. I do miss the McClelland blends.
