Just got this in the mail today. A buddy in Mainz Germany sent it to me, it's from a local pipe shop. According to google it is Virginia, burley, and black cavendish with some plum and vanilla flavoring. Really excited to try this. Has anyone ever heard of or tried anything from these guys? Pfeifenhaus Raimer blend #23.

New to me, curious to hear your view on it.

A few more C&D blends, didn't go crazy cos I wasn't a big fan of the 2 I have tried so far.

Engine 99, Haunted Bookshop, Mild English and Golden Ash. Also 8oz of my everyday Dunhill Early Morning, 2oz Arango Balkan Supreme and a lil sample of newminster navy flake. Can't wait to try.

That's a nice haul there! Just curious...how was the tobacco when you opened it??? I purchased some a while back and it was bone dry.

I have read that most C&D is that way because they would rather sell you all tobacco that may be dry and you can rehydrate it rather than sell you 75% tobacco and 25% water. Or worse percentages

Well that would make sense. I just was in shock that it came to me so dry. And it seems like I have issues rehydrating. Unless I'm just dumb. Might just make a new thread or search for an older one and go from there on it. I don't want to derail this more than I already did......
