I was just able to acquire a 2001 tin of G.L. Pease Stonehenge Flake, 2001 tin of Gallaher's Rich Dark Honeydew, and a 2006 tin of McClelland Syrian Super Balkan from my tobacconist. They had almost anything you can think of Thursday from a large collector that passed away. If you want original Balkan Sobranie in the big tubs though expect to pay $600-800 PER tin. Even had some 60's cutter top tins of the Original. I've gotta do some grocery store running and I'll be smoking 2016 Haunted Bookshop before I head out, in an Old Dominion Richmond reed stemmed cob.
I tried to do the photos side-by-side, and know it's quite a few but thought it worth sharing as I fly by. I have to jet so this was quickest.
Wow! |

My wife was just commenting to me last night that she finds it amusing that I keep an eye out for a birth year pipe. Was looking at a birth year Zippo the other day.

This evening, for starters; A Sutliff Virginia mix of roughly equal parts of 515-RC1 and 507-C, with a healthy pinch of 507-S thrown in, in a Larrysson Blasted Bent Dublin, a good Virginia pipe. Then, WC Terrapin Station in a Falcon with a Meer Bulldog bowl. We will see if there is a third.  That's one beautiful looking pipe! I've always been too late trying to get one when he released his updates. |

Thanks! I got really really lucky and found my birth year pipe in my favorite shape, size, and finish. |
