P&C $1 Shipping -- What did you get?

I didn't grab any tobacco on the $1 shipping deal, but I did get a Zippo pipe lighter...only because it was on sale, otherwise I would have passed.

 

I placed a sizable "back to school shopping" order at smokingpipes the day before, and was well within the realm of free shipping. So I didn't take advantage of it.

But I DID order a bunch of tins, a bunch of cleaners, a couple cheapo pipe stands and a nice leather pipe rest for my BST, and a pipe.

Mac Baren Honey and Chocolate
Mac Baren HH Highland Blend
Two Friends English Chocolate
GLP Jack Knife Plug
Mac Baren Navy Flake
Peterson's Perfect Plug
Dunhill Nightcap
Orlik Golden Sliced
Peterson Irish Flake

Very nice score! Some really interesting blends. And a nice pipe too.

Basically I'm super excited for Tuesday

Hoping to enjoy the Honey and Chocolate, but if not I can always trade it. Also never had the English Chocolate, and relatively high expectations for that. Hopefully it will be suitable for smoking indoors yet offer a fuller flavor than most aromatic tobaccos. And the others I know I like, though I haven't had Night Cap since it was re released. In fact, I've only had it once, when I got a tin of it (among others) back when I first tried to learn to smoke a pipe...maybe 06 or 07

If I'd had the foresight back then, I would have stocked up on Durbar like nobody's business

 

All around a very nice order! I'm sure at least the vast majority will be to your liking, especially that pipe.

 

Yeah! The only two I even question liking are the two aromatics, and even if they don't end up as favored blends I'm sure I'll like them well enough to finish the tins

 

hmmm looking forward to reading your reviews on your english chocolate and the mac baren honey chocolate. Ill have to go see if Rich has the english chocolate in stock, got lots of chocolate in my order basket. the english chocolate maybe a substitute to the sg chocolate flake that is missing everywere.

EDIT:

Half a pound of the Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match.

 

And I apparently got lucky. According to the email I got this morning all three of my tins shipped. Looking forward to trying those out over the latter half of the week.

 

I got two make your own pipe kits (1 bent & 1 straight) and a tin of McClelland's Magnum Opus.
