@Smaug great news! I see a mighty tall CD in the near future...no roof hole required :D Also great to see we might finally have a good source for Dominoes on this side of the pond.
5:24pm here at the office. Called and left emails for the shipper handling the final leg for my sea freight delivery.
I was supposed to take delivery tomorrow (02/14) but have not yet been able to confirm that is in fact true.
@Smaug you are going to be a busy bee. I will not be home until 26 Feb so you can put my order on the backburner and ship others first. .cool with me if mine ships on 24th.
I am not in a hurry, but do let me know when my 380L is going on the truck, as the truck drivers around here have a habit of showing up without notifying the recipient until they are 5 minutes away...
OD (Old Dominion, not Old Dog) says my 380L boiler is 'loaded out' for delivery today... every time I hear a truck, I think it is here, and stop what I am doing... the food and beer deliveries are causing me to get no work done today!
The Dominoe sample box has arrived.
We will be putting together a small assortment of all of the offerings along with a descriptive legend for your sample paks going out.
We have a fair amount of participants but once all of the tester's paks get sent out I will let you guys know how many,,,if any are remaing/available.
Yes he did send the vanilla.
My immediate impression was that I was impressed with the variety that he sent. The variety will really offer some choices rather than simply having to settle for what ever one happens to be able to get.
Are you finding that a particular variety is out pacing some of the other choices?
Yes, the medium toast American Oak sells twice of everything else put together. It's a great allrounder, presents really good vanilla and maple characters and is perfect for bourbon. We have been using it with a mix of the heavy toast as well to get some of that redness that comes from the char.
What ones did you get? Medium French, Heavy and Medium American and vanilla are the ones i stock.
Smaug,
My order arrived at my house yesterday. However I'm still stuck in Detroit till at least till the 12th and just received marching orders to Qinshan China on the 15th so looks like it will be awhile till I get to play mad scientist. May have to try an hook up with the grand poohbah Lloyd as according to google I'm only 3 to 4 hours away from his location, if time warrants.

I hope someone familiar is able to collect your belongings?
Familiar yes, friendly no, so even after I get home Mama will have probably hid my new toys till after she gets her one on one time with me first, before she'll let me fondle my new mistress.

My boxes arrived today and all is well, the usps gorilla did not get a chance to mangle them.. :)) UPS did fantastic and not so much as a scratch on the boxes. The dominoes sample look awesome, there is a lot of options there and thank you for sending them. I look forward to an aging/oaking experiment. Hooch
