Sounds to me like you have "broke" under perpresure...

No pic today as the wife has packed it for the trip to the in-laws however:

My favorite Winslow (E) packed with some year old Capstan NF (blue tin) ... to any overseas pipesters I will gladly trade for more of this as its one of my top 3 favorite pipe weeds and sadly its imported to the US.

Excellent taste, Sir. Capstan blue aka Original Navy Cut is one of my favorites, maybe the best VA blend there is. SG Best Brown Flake is another.
Guess if i had an unlimited supply of Capstan blue and SG Balkan Flakes (or Squadron Leader) i could get along with these two without needing any other blends there is.

Thanks Sailor, I have tons of BBF as every time it makes its way across the pond I try to pick up 10 tins or so for the cellar. Capstan is just not imported so its only gotten via business trips or trades. I'm down to 5 tins and 3 are less than a year old which (at least for me) means I won't touch them for a long while.

Several web stores in EU sell Capstan (as well as many other brands) with decent prices. And if you ever have a change to visit Spain you'll find tobacco very cheap. Last time i was there was 2008 or 2009. Capstan was about 5 €, but away from tourist areas it was 3,50 €. Damn that is cheap. Tobacco price is regulated by the government there, but shopkeepers do not know such thing or care.
