My dear saint of a wife is in New York City this week. She went to Barclay Rex and bought me a 7 ounce tin of Maiden Lane. Ill be twice as happy to see her when she gets home this weekend!
Just receive, very quickly, 4 ounces of Parson's Blend from The Country Squire, to take on vacation. Have a couple ounces of Lane Dark Red and 1-Q, a tin of Sutliff's R Blend, ready to go. Variety is the spice of life.
@PappyJoe did you enjoy the Corn Cob with a Button Nose? Was it too sweet? I don't usually smoke aromatics but thought it might be fun for the Christmas season.
@thuber - I've only smoked one bowl at a pipe club meeting. The tins I bought are "stocking stuffers" for my 2 sons and me. They won't get opened until Christmas Day or thereabout.
Two containers from Sutliff. One Maple Street and one Molto Dolce. Mixed 50/50 the best tobacco I've ever smoked. Absolutely no bite, tastes great, and even non-smokers love the smell.
For some reason Pipes and Cigars gave me a $10 gift card so I got a Missouri Meerschaum Short Stop, an ounce of Trout Stream, and an ounce of Butternut Burly for $4.58 shipped.
