The pipemaker Bruno Nuttens posted his garage sale find in France... from the early 80’s.  I’m admittedly jealous. |

Bruno is a heck of a nice guy, I’m sure he’s sharing with his pipe buddies in France.
GREAT FIND BRUNO👍👍

I think I can account for the reason for Bruno's luck. His namesake is St. Bruno, patron saint of pipers!

What prices do this tins command... $300-$400? More?
The requests people are making are silly wanting to trade, etc...

The requests people are making are silly wanting to trade, etc... atleast 200-300 atleast that's what pipestud tends to put them for last I saw any on there. So your easily looking at about 2k worth of pipe tobacco which is kinda nuts. If it was me I'd crack one at a club to share the wealth and sell the rest. Either way that's one hell of a find. |

Thanks for checking in, Mike... I agree, the best of both worlds, in a situation where he can try it out, but still make a nice return. Levine was gifted a tin of old Bells Three Nuns, he said that Steve Fallon told him that the market supports a $700 price tag for that tin. Pretty crazy. |

OK, I have to assume that the way you guys are drooling over this that this blend must have been pretty special?
