1 lb Briar Fox
8 oz Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed
200 grams Savinelli Brunello Flake
50 grams Brebbia Balkan
and a couple cobs
Placed another order as well, because if I don't have a smokingpipes package en route I get short with people and can't sleep.

Tobacco pipes.com has 15% off C&D tobacco so I picked up a few tins.
Very nice display you've got there! I'd do something similar if I had the room.
WD-40...is that a Lane aromatic?
Hah! You’re a funny guy Servant King. The previous home owner was kind enough to throw in the “display” with the unfinished basement. And the WD is only used to rehydrate old leaf. I could round up a proper cabinet to show it better but I don’t want my place to look like it has a tobacco shrine or that I am obsessed, so I keep it low-key in the unfinished basement where most house guests don’t go.
I am a fan of Low Country blends so when Edisto came out I got 6 tins. Added 8oz each of Virginia/Burley along with Virginia/Oriental. Couldn't stop there and got 3 MM bent Legends to get free shipping. My yard cobs need to be replaced.
Small haul... Restocked a couple of harder to find favorites and a few tins of new blends to try.
(When did Germain's switch to round tins? Really threw me for a loop there when they came in the mail...)

The last of the rectangular/square tins phased out about 3 years IIRC, so anything newer than that is all round, all the time.
The last couple of years I've got Plumcake, the royal jerseys, and Pelican in a round tin.
Speaking of Esoterica and other Unicorns...
I just purchased two 12oz tubs o' Carter Hall for $65 shipped. NOW that's a solid tobacky.

Received my smokingpipes package just now. (Edit: Forgot to include the 8oz of Nutty Irishman bulk. It's my most aromatic order yet!)
The second photo are my finds at the local tobacconist on Saturday.

A few untried things in this mini-order; a tin of Savinelli Jupiter to see how close an approximation it is to Solani ABF or Wessex Slices. Had them throw in some Lane RR Match and some Sutliff Estate to try as well.
I like the Latakia flake. Others would be new to me .....
This afternoon, I ordered 2kg of Amphora Full at my local tobacco shop.
Monday delivery: 18 x 100g of Solani 633. This should complete my bulk purchases of this one.
I’m a little envious of your plum cake acquisition. That’s one that I sold out every time I’m shopping.Small haul... Restocked a couple of harder to find favorites and a few tins of new blends to try.

Just ordered a couple of tubs of Lane RR.
I myself haven't gotten it in many years (hence the surprise with the round tins).
I hear a lot of Germain's stuff are wildly available across the pound.
So THAT’S where all the 633 went when I tried to order some last week…
