Random Tobacco Tin

I've ordered these two times, two tins each time, for a total of four. I received: 1 - 8oz Captain Black Original, 1 - 2oz C&D Crooked Lane, 1 - 8oz Captain Black Gold, and 1 - 8oz Captain Black Royal. The tobacco all arrived in good shape. I now have more captain black than I will ever smoke, but I guess that's the risk you take... I will probably keep trying my luck on these in the future.

If you like opened cans Amphora, Sir Walter Raleigh and Capt Black, then maybe this is just the thing for you. Because that what I was sent.

I asked for 2 different tins, and got two great selections. One I already had, but it's a good one, so I'm not complaining!

Well worth the gamble. Received tins I like and tins I wanted to try. Received a couple I didn't want but friends liked them so it all works out.

$25 for five tins. Over $150 retail. That's a deal!

I guess sometimes you roll snake eyes. .. I ended up with a can of Borkum Riff that had been opened. I don't mind Borkum Riff from time to time, but this stuff was so dry that it was turning into dust. To the trash bin it went. C'est la vie!

Of the five tins ordered, one was a blend I wanted. Two of the tins were Captain Black (Original and Gold) and three were Gawith blends. A decent value, overall, but nothing special.

I was looking forward to seeing what tobacco I’d receive. Upon arrival I saw there was clearly damage to the tin; however, the tobacco inside and the inner packaging was intact. I have to say that the tin I got was a tobacco that I’d never purposely buy myself; some reviews I read of it made me want to wait until I became a “veteran” pipe smoker, since it was supposed to be a strong flavor and a decent nic hit. Well, when I loaded it up, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to handle it quite well! The taste was definitely pronounced but I liked it, and the nic hit wasn’t bad for me. And now, I’d go so far as to say this tin may be one of my top 5. If it were not for the Random Tin offering, I probably would’ve never chosen the brand that TP sent until much later in my piping journey. The Random Tin offering is something that I will continue to participate in. Sure the tin may be damaged in some way, but the discount is worth it, and the fact that you have no idea what you’re getting gives you an opportunity to try things outside of your usual boundaries (possibly…again, it IS random so they may send something you already have lol). I’m glad I took the gamble and will continue to do so when available.
