  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Holy Tobacco Gifted to me. Thank you.

So today after a long day and the sun is going down. I get home to find 2 Packages waiting for me. I am thinking what that is much bigger then a couple of bowls in an envelope to give a BOTL a taste of some tobacco.......

My heart starts to race and I feel that this may be a little unfair to a little NOOB to BOTL, I call out the Swiss Army, it extends out the longer blade and slices into action. Slowly and carefully opening up a Bubble mailer and what advances from the mailer is first a TIN of Three Nuns. While I back up with an UnExpected Tin of a Tobacco I haven't had a pleasure of burning this far. Under further inspection I find a nice size baggie of Pure Semois. I think to myself wait a minute I thought there was going to be a couple of bowls to sample this tobacco and feel so blessed with a Gift of some wonderful tobaccos. Thank you @cigarblunk I think you may have a bigger pipe then I have. There is way more then a Pipe full or 2 of some Semois and I think you may have forgot about only sending some Semois. Guess it was a Stowaway



Then there was the second Package, This time took out the Short Special Sharp blade, Slice though this package and while trying to open with caution it explodes with a few baggies of Tobacco. One a baggie of some Pure Semois, Next to exit was a Huge bag of Jon' Pipe Shop Burley Blend, Next in line was NewMinister Superior Round Sliced, Followed by McClelland 5115 Old world Flake, Next was a pouch of Five Brothers Tobacco by Lane LTD and not for any other reason other then I don't know and it happen to be last there is a baggie of SHPC GH?? I don't know SHPC but under better inspection I smell the tobacco and it has a very Familiar scent of Hearth & Home tobaccos that I love so much.. This then must be a Pipe Club sorry guys I haven't had it before but I expect it must have been Blended by H&H or Russ. Thank you @thedismaltrade for the Package of Tobacco.


I am besides my self with all the tobacco that was sent. It will be Enjoyed down to the last burnt bowl of ash.
Remember no good deed goes un punished. Best served COLD.....

Thank you Soooooooo Very much.

Pretty sure you're right though about the SHPC blends coming out of the Russ Ouellette / pipesandcigars.com camp.
They're also doing the current blending of the famous SPC selections. (Mississippi River, yummm...)
