@dighsx Hi Jay, yes, still loving them Giants (despite a horrible 2011).

Yes, Blackwoods is so good! I just tried some Christmas Cheer 2010 which is almost just as good in my opinion. McClelland does the best Virginias!

Hope you're good!

@SirJohnDoe100 Oh, yes, Fallout! Best game I've ever played through - twice!

FV Plug, eh? THAT sounds very, very interesting. I actually know that it is available in plug version, but I always seem to forget. Gotta get that some day.

Hope you're good!

Very pleasant surprise seeing a Pipepoet vid in the queue today. Think I did the same thing with my love for photography turning it into a job. Ever since I've gone in it full time the last thing I seem to want to do is shoot or work on images. Some great baccy's there! I enjoy the FVF very much and the BlackWoods Flake is high on the list to get. Just had my first bowl of McClellands 2010 Christmas Cheer and what a great smoke it was! Beautiful bing pipe there too! Merry Christmas Arko.

@astroman2112 Christmas Cheer, huh? Been wanting one of those for a long time. Straight Virginia, is it not?

Good to hear from you, my friend! Hope you're good and all.

I'm with you on Old Gowerie, but I suspect Hal o the wynd my be even nicer. Blackwoods was too much 'Ketchup and vinegar' for me. FVF never hit the my spot, I much preferred Golden Glow, milder and sweeter. Good reviews, good to see you again PP.  dub.

How the Hell did it take me 6 days to see you made another video?? Awesome to see you again buddy and I am loving the poet-esque facial furr.

You know I am always down to swap Blackwoods for a certain Danish virginia flake you know too well.

Be well my friend.

Ben.

@Pipepoet I believe it is a straight Va. Mostly reds. I know it changes from year to year as they use a different crop. This 2010 is my first experience with the CC series. This one is cut flakes in about 10cmx20cm. I do have several tins of McCrannies Red Ribbon 2008 a pure Va from one single crop! Its tinned by McClellands for McCrannies Tobacconist so it has the ketchupy smell but a real delight. Very popular with some of the American artisanal pipe carvers. Happy to send some on if you wish.

Arko! Great to see you again my friend! Your Top 5 List from last year, as we talked about, was my awakening to Virginias and what I now LOVE in tobacco. Off your list, Marlin Flake, Old Gowrie are probably my top 2 favorites. FVF would be in there if I could get it, but have only been able to get 1 tin, ever... Capstan is the only one from last year that I have yet to try, and would love to get!!! I'm glad to see you are well, Congrats on the great job! Sending you a PM!
