The flake looks gd...gotta say so many great contests south of CND wish it was the same here...very hard to get different tobacco's here...as well so many great members on the channel...nice to see....happy pipeing..
Nice Paneled Billiard pipe. They came out with the Golden Days of Yore a few years back and did a run for the holidays this year. I like it, but I have to say the LJ Peretti Yuletide is very enjoyable. I couldn't put a finger on what I was tasting. I got Christmas spices, I got Marshmellow, I got chocolate. Evidently it's a plum pudding. Really fell in love with the HH Latakia Flake last night. Had a package ordered from Colorado, ended up going to California, from there it went to Puerto Rico, now I know it's left Puerto Rico and is continuing on the way. I just saw no reason for it to leave the Lower 48 when it's headed to Wisconsin. I hope that you have a great weekend and wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas.
Much improved skin tone in this video over the one you did on Former's. Sorry about your package. Mailing packages this time of year is always a crap shoot, nevermind from overseas. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Beans ‼️ 😎 I don't know what the heck is going on with shipping 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻..it's a mess like everything else....I have tried that blend not bad at all....picture looks great 👍🏻👍🏻👋🏻👋🏻have a great weekend take care
Great review Brian! Usually when I’m stocking my online orders, they never seem to get to me as quick as if I just leave em alone, But damn nearly 2 months for an order from Germany, that blows dude!!! Don’t give up on it yet dude, it’ll get there 💪
That is one of my Favourite Tobaccos Brian so I am glad you would buy it again. Picture Quality much better as it is not so washed out now and has more Contrast. Happy Christmas to you and Your Family.
Thanks for the review, I’ve got a couple of tins of that in the cellar. A guy on a forum mentioned the same deal with Estervals, he ended up disputing the charge and got a refund. Have a good holiday.
Yeah that’s what sucks though because I know it’s not Estervals fault what will happen is if they keep getting burned they will just stop shipping to the states
Yeah, I missed so much already and so much is regularly out of stock, I’m worried about the state of online tobacco sales in general. Estervals is a rare resource for HU specifically, not to mention other European blends hard to get here. Prices go up and stuff sells out so quick. I’m stocking up on what I can afford. It’s starting to get irritating though.
Hey Brian. Sorry to hear about the shipping, that's crazy. I have enjoyed the F&T blends as well but not tried this one. Will put it on the list. Nice looking pipe ur smoking. Have a great Holiday and best wishes.
Hey bud did you order directly from Heinrich website or you bought the German made baccy from in the states ? 3 days is crazy shit I’m waiting 3 months
Merry Christmas beans kind of like ammo can't get much of it good thing I have a good amount I don't think you have any worries either have a nice holiday you and your family
Did you contact the USPS to see why the package was sent back? I would be curious why they did not deliver it if it made it to your local distribution center. I wonder if you could have prevented it from being returned?
Glad you liked it Brian, it’s a great blend. Sorry to hear about your shipping fiasco, it sounds like a lot of bullshit has been going on with the USPS lately.
I have an unopened tin of the F&T Special Brown Flake that I’m thinking of popping now - I’ve never tried it. The camera quality does look better. Try the 4K next time. It’ll probably take all day to upload, but it might be worth it. 😀 Oh man, I’m really sorry to hear about your Estervals order. I was very excited for you to finally get that. I’ve ordered from them 3 times, and other than an over a month wait each time, all 3 were delivered. I had to sign for them, btw. Hope you have a great Christmas despite this.🎄
Brian, I would have to agree a Very good tobacco. I bought a couple tins in Switzerland. the quality is good ole boy and it has been a horrible year to buy tobacco. I know my humidor is low and it hasn’t been easy to re stock it. Blessings from Gettysburg. Keep em burning..
Man usps is going through the ringer, i have packages from michigan that took 3 weeks to be delivered in michigan! I have not tried this blend but will keep it on the radar. Be well my friend
@@beans316 i dont think its lost. It just is taking for ever for parcels to get here through usps, our main hub is close to where i live and i can see the trucks lining up on the freeway i have never seen that before. Hopefully its a miss scan thing and it will find its way back to you but give usps a call it does not hurt
My Saturday just doesn't seem to go as well unless I get my morning serving of Beans! Your lost shipment sounds absolutely frustrating! How can a package make it that far and then get sent back? My packages go through the same distribution center in Pa and I also have experienced a couple "hick-ups" there! Have a great day Brian! Merry Christmas!
@@beans316 check www.iwanries.com they have one tin of the cut plug, and a few tins of vintage in stock 😉 Delete this when you see it so nobody steals it from you haha.
beans316 There have been a couple threads about this exact issue on the Pipes Magazine forums. Post office claims the package is undeliverable because of an incorrect address, but the address is actually correct. It makes no sense. It's a shame because I really want to order some bulk Capstan. Why they won't give the option of shipping with a private courier is beyond me.
availability is piss poor. boswell had some john aylesbury tins, i tried the "green" tin. a pina colada essence. good quality but not impressive. have some ageing hu, makhuwa, moroccan bazaar and aus dem krater n 4. bought them awhile back with a bank money transfer. big mistake. the transfer cost more then the tobacco. live and learn. breman pipe smoker has some good reviews on hu and other brands overseas. love your videos. you and family have a wonderful christmas.
@@beans316 me too. i have to many unopened tins as it is. a capstan yellow flake that will be 8 years old this coming march. others are ageing also. ready for the tobacco apocalypse!
Wow, if it weren't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all. Video was good ,audio wasn't as great in the beginning, kinda sounded like you were in a hall.
The flake looks gd...gotta say so many great contests south of CND wish it was the same here...very hard to get different tobacco's here...as well so many great members on the channel...nice to see....happy pipeing..

Thats messed up. Same thing happened to packages of ours got to Louisville, then back to Indianapolis...Crazy man.
Yep I should have known with the Covid crap to just wait

Video quality is fixed, nice!
Thanks my friend Merry Christmas
Hey Brian. Sorry to hear about the shipping, that's crazy. I have enjoyed the F&T blends as well but not tried this one. Will put it on the list. Nice looking pipe ur smoking. Have a great Holiday and best wishes.
Thanks Andrew Merry Christmas to you my friend
Love haunted bookshop. I have a old Prince Albert tub full of it. Can’t wait to see what you have to say about it 😂
Never cared for it but going to try again
Quality looks great on my device. Never tried any F&T blends, may have to buy a tin now. Have a great weekend!
Thanks my friend Merry Christmas
Interesting blend. The video and audio sound and look great.
Thanks my friend Merry Christmas
That is some more mixed up shipping! Nice winnings!
Thanks my friend Merry Christmas to you
Hello Brian order from Peter Heinrich in Germany was at my door in 3 days DHS and they have a lot of baccys Have a great weekend ❤️🙏🏼🌊🏄♂️
Hey bud did you order directly from Heinrich website or you bought the German made baccy from in the states ? 3 days is crazy shit I’m waiting 3 months
Video is perfect now, very nice.
Thanks my friend hope you have a Merry Christmas
Oh, and video quality is outstanding
Merry Christmas beans kind of like ammo can't get much of it good thing I have a good amount I don't think you have any worries either have a nice holiday you and your family
Yeah I agree everything has been so hard to find it’s been crazy
Did you contact the USPS to see why the package was sent back? I would be curious why they did not deliver it if it made it to your local distribution center. I wonder if you could have prevented it from being returned?
Nope after waiting on hold for 30 minutes I hung up
Glad you liked it Brian, it’s a great blend. Sorry to hear about your shipping fiasco, it sounds like a lot of bullshit has been going on with the USPS lately.
Thanks my friend yeah pretty tasty all hope is not lost yet it’s now in Brooklyn Ny lol unreal
Thanks for the review. Ordered two tins.
Cool hope you like it Merry Christmas my friend
Oooops messed up on rating that was for bourbon reviews
Quality is still great my friend cheers!
Thanks my friend Merry Christmas
I have an unopened tin of the F&T Special Brown Flake that I’m thinking of popping now - I’ve never tried it.

I used the 4K last vid when I had all the issues from what I hear it’s on Utubes end with quality who knows
Brian,
I would have to agree a Very good tobacco. I bought a couple tins in Switzerland. the quality is good ole boy and it has been a horrible year to buy tobacco. I know my humidor is low and it hasn’t been easy to re stock it. Blessings from Gettysburg. Keep em burning..
I’m thinking about going to Boswells on my Christmas vacation if there open
@@beans316
Sounds great let me know in advance. I will definitely try to make it.
I like the modern world of tracking packages, but getting that close and going back-Hell, I’d rather not even know that. 😡
Lmao I agree so disappointing ohhh well maybe try again next year when things slow down
Same thing happened to me the package was a my local distribution center in PA then it was sent to Florida. It's probably in Japan now!!!
Lol that is just crazy I hope things get back to normal soon
Man usps is going through the ringer, i have packages from michigan that took 3 weeks to be delivered in michigan! I have not tried this blend but will keep it on the radar. Be well my friend
All hope is not lost yet now it says it’s in Brooklyn Ny so who knows lol
@@beans316 i dont think its lost.

@@ahmadsadikaljanabi I tried after being on hold for 30 minutes I hung up being more mad lmao
@@beans316 oh my, is it possible pipes and cigars and usps have the same customer service?
Looking good! Great YABO. The tobacco’s did seem to be hard to get this year. I’m sure COVID had its hand in that. Take care
Yeah been real slow on everything this year let’s hope 2021 is much better

Yep unreal well maybe some good news now it’s in Brooklyn Ny instead of heading back to Germany so maybe a Christmas miracle lol
@@beans316 👍
The camera frames look gd...
Sorry about your shipment. Nice prize winnings though.
Thanks my friend yeah the prize package made my week Merry Christmas
Haunted Bookshop is just terrible. Bulk or tin. It’s not for everyone. Very polarizing blend.
Please try Cut Virginia Plug, and Vintage, from F&T
Lol I will when I can find some
@@beans316 check www.iwanries.com they have one tin of the cut plug, and a few tins of vintage in stock 😉
Delete this when you see it so nobody steals it from you haha.
This is an ongoing story with Estervels lately.
Never bought from them before but I tell you the owner acted like it’s my fault

Iwan Reis has some too...
Thanks my friend yeah I think I’m done until after the first of the new year

Wow, if it weren't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all. Video was good ,audio wasn't as great in the beginning, kinda sounded like you were in a hall.
Yeah I should have learned with my last ordeal hopefully things get back to normal soon
