Sun Bear

[JRobert]

I won’t give them another penny. They’ve burned be so many times with their moldy, underwhelming tobaccos.

Sweet! More for people who want some. Thanks.

"From Beyond" ??

Only 225 tins made for the Chicago Pipe Show. I just traded for 4.

Interesting! I wasn't even aware of that Old Ones Small Batch blend. Probably not up my alley anyways, but it'd be fun to see a review. That really was limited!

Seems like I should have aquired more than two tins of Sun Bear. The more I smoke it, the more I like it. But I am wayyy past my sin budget this month. Hopefully there's some left on the first of September.

Yah, that too! Man, I'm already pooped and it's only noon.... Sun bear, sugar bear, sugar smacks, sweet Jesus Mary and Joseph!

Do not get old folks. This was a public service announcement from the Heart of the Ozarks.

For whatever reason, it seems like Oriental related blends need to breath for awhile after their opened and certainly benefit from aging. Just a month seems to have improvement WCC OTR quite a bit. I took a risk and bought 5 more tins for SP for a total of 15 (1 opened now). The 14 are going down for a long nap. I'l know in a few years whether it was a good risk or not.

Just posted my review of Sun Bear at TR.

I was in Chicago and never saw the From Beyond blend. Hope somebody reviews it.

That's not what I meant, you know. If I don't smoke it, I still want to know about it. So do most people, I'd say. I'm not the only reviewer around.

I knew what you meant, I was being equal parts flippant and hopeful.

Okay. I get it. Thanks.

I had my first bowl of this last night and I was wowed. Seriously tasty Virginia tobacco with great "color" from the Orientals. That honey topping is moderate to my tastes, and EXCELLENT. I may have to see if I can order more while it lasts.

Aaaaaand it's gone. Everywhere. Curse my frugal nature!

Poop.

Well, like many others of the small batch line, perhaps it'll be back.

Dan...i was thinking the same thing this morning when I finally searched for it.

They must have been sold out by the time I arrived. This is the only blend on their table... Virginia Oriental.

It is fantastic to my taste. Wish I'd have bought 50 tins.
