Great job, brother! Keep going. Question...can the Danes cross the border into Germany, buy a bunch of T and return back to Denmark? Is that legal or resricted? I am shocked the Danes have turned on pipe smoking.
Nice, looks like a decent cellar. I'd vacuum seal the square tins, as they are known not to be as air tight as the round tins. I'm stocking up on most tobaccos. Prices are not going down, so you may as well buy other brands as well. Just be careful not to stock too high on the aromatics as they don't keep as long.
Looks like you are not far from where you want to be with lots of them. I've been stocking up on what I needed from Mac Baren too. I'm mostly done now with Mac Baren and the other brands they make. Thanks for showing your cellar. Take care.
Sam Gawith is an English brand made in Kendal and its as ridiculouly priced here aswell due to taxes. Also a note on haunted bookshop, its unpleasantly vinegary and that was a two year old tin i opened so if you dont like that perhaps not one to age in bulk, it does have a large following though so thats just my opinion.Nice cellar there mate
I agree about haunted bookshop. I find the tin note to be very off-putting and the flavor to be only "decent". Much better burley blends out there IMO.
Interesting point regarding the Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake being a different blend; i heard recently that Per Jensen (master blender of the HH line) took ownership of the Vanilla/Classic roll cake and changed the standard Mac Baren sweet casing just for that vairiant. Im yet to try it. Also Stockton is a notable absence, i stocked up on some tins as it seems to be widley loved and is the okdest remaining Mac Baren blend.
I am a pretty moderate pipe smoker. I dont even like to consider myself a "smoker". I smoke only when i have the time to really enjoy it. So it varies alot. Sometiems everyday, and other periods there can be mutiple days where i do not smoke at all. I rarely smoke more than a full bowl a day. I try to me moderate and really enjoy the tobacco that i consume. Less is more ;)
As an American, I am curious how much a tin costs over there. Also, are the HH line/other lines not available in bulk? I only started around 2.5 years ago but was luckily drawn to the HH blends immediately and was able to stock up relatively quickly in their bulk boxes to transfer to mason jars. My wife thought i was being a nut for buying so much so quickly but alot of older smokers on forums told me all about how over the years their favorite blends either became massively more expensive or disappeared entirely. Boy am I glad I did what I did
Ok so here goes: HH is NOT available in Denmark what so ever. Thats the first issue. Then price wise. The MB we have available cost 350 DKK or 49,39 USD pr 100g tin! Yes! Lets not even talk about C&D or Samuel G. Full virginia flake sits at 29 USD pr 50 g tin. Or lets say 2oz tin of Autumn Evening for 36,50 USD. And to further answer your qeustions. Any ziplock bagged or bulk tobacco isnt legal what so ever. Tins only. And then the 40g pouches that is useless. Oh and yes! About the pouches - recently instead of increasing prices of thoes they went from being 50g to 40 g and now 38g! And prices of pipe tobacco are FIXED due to regulation and taxes. You cannot shop for discounts or seek out price reductions of any kind. Thats our reality. So building a cellar arround here is.... Expensive! There you go :)
@thomasebdrup Wow. I knew it was bad in other countries (Europe specifically), but that is just crazy. And only going to get worse I'm afraid. Thanks for the information. I'll count my blessing over a pipe tonight!
Just for reference, and not trying to sound like an a**hole or brag, but before the discontinuation I was able to buy any HH blend for 68 USD per pound. After taxes it came out to around 80 USD. And blends such as newminster 400 and the like (which are still good but not as good as HH in my opinion) were or are around 40 USD per pound
Kriswill Irish Mixture is a predominantly light blend of golden and reddish-brown Virginias with touches of sweet and spicy Black Cavendish, only very subtly refined with a fruity flavour to clearly bring out the character of the tobacco aromas in the pipe. Its taste is soft and subtly floral, carried by the fine natural sweetness of Virginia - a pleasantly gentle alternative to the otherwise rather powerful Irish blends. This is worth a try if you can find some it’s been discontinued
Very nice my friend. If you love Deluxe Navy Rolls, when you're in Germany you need to try to get some St. Bernard Flake, and/or Janneman Flake. Both are outstanding Vapers that I would place just above Peterson DNR/Escudo.
Nice selection there. Have a pleasant weekend, Janez
Thank you and to you too
Nice cellar, Thomas! I'm sure these tobacco's will age wonderfully.
Nice collection!
Nice cellar
Great collection!
Very nice collection. Missing Erinmore flake

@ Yes, I think it’s worth it.

Its restricted. You can cross the border and bring for personal use. Limited to 1 kg.
STG is out of Denmark

Your right - only like 20% aroes
Very nice!
Good goals. Great cellar!

Should be more natural tobacco taste and diffrent vanille topping
Wow, very nice! 😎👍
Awesome
Nice cellar! How many bowls do you smoke a day/week?

Not quit. Thank god :)
You probably have at least $4000 Canadian in tobacco right there excluding tax. ;)

Will have to try that. Dan tobacco is priced very reasonable
Hello Thomas, how long will this collection last for you? Geetings. Matthias
Im calculating more or less 1kg pr year for my current needs. So my cellar goal is 30kg+ 😂 long way to go still
👍
Wow, thats like 20 000dkk?
Prisen for Full virginia flake fra Samuel Gawith er cirka 160.- i Tyskland 😊
Hvilket er dyrt :)
@@thomasebdrupBestemt, men mindre dyrt end i Danmark 😊
€22,80 i Spania..🙄
I would trade all of that for a few bags of Penzance.
Thats a little overboard :D
