Fresh Inbound Inbound Later Currently in the blend development pipeline: A black Cavendish in the VanGogh/Meditations line of tobaccos. A Spaghetti Western reboot, An English Villain reboot, a smooth bourbon English, and something code-named “Zen Garden”. We hope to have Byronic/Kraken back at some point but still don’t have a date.

Restocks Ahoy! Patron Packs for new releases have been doing well. They give a way for someone to give a “virtual tip” for the release as well as shop Embry’s Shelf and the Premium Bulks menu. We were rolling dice and adding Easter Eggs for the first few releases of Patron Packs, but in the …

River Restocks Today. Roman Restocks Thursday. Cheers, Ken

Straight Virginia is also another lunting standard. More Roman Legion reinforcements soon. We’ve sold a blend in the past called “Haunted Virginia” that …
