If you guys are trying an aro for the first time and it is sold in bulk how much would you order? 1oz?
That sounds right, unless it's a flavor that I generally like (not necessarily in tobacco but overall) then I might order 2 ounces. Although some brands it's actually cheaper in bulk rates to order four ounces than it is to order three. I can't remember which brand it is but one of brands that P&C sells in bulk used to be quite expensive for 1-3 ounces but the price drop at the 4 ounce mark made it something like 10¢ cheaper to buy 5 ounces than 3. So just watch for that price drop at the 4 ounce mark.

Otherwise, yes, I would stick with one ounce if you're not sure (unless some brother unwisely posts something about how much they love a particular tobacco - then order a bunch of it and, if you don't like it, bomb it to him! <grin>). I would also order other stuff to make the shipping worthwhile, of course.

Thanks, I'm using the previous PToM lists to put together a cart full now :)

Where did September go?!
It's that time again - we're looking for suggestions for the BOTL October Pipe Tobacco of the Month!
Let us know what you think our October PToM should be:
  • Do you have something you've had your eye on, just looking for a reason to buy? Tell us now!
  • Got something you love and think everyone else should try? Speak up!
  • Do you have any thoughts on something someone else has already recommended? We want to hear that, too!
The poll will consist of choices between different tobacco styles/blends; Aromatic, Virginia, Latakia/English, Perique, and Burley
The winning baccy from that poll will be crowned our October PToM, then we'll all light up and review it together! (y)

We'll do nominations for a couple days, then I'll build a poll from that and fill in any gaps with suggestions from prior months that haven't been used yet.
Many thanks!
Clint

I'd like to throw C&D Haunted Bookshop into the mix this month!

Given September's choice though.. I feel a little like I froze the thread with my choice, haha if it was a MAW or TOWL we would have passed weeks ago! :ROFLMAO:

Well, I'm mostly to blame. Took me forever to get my threads up. I promise to do better this month!
