Made my last trip today. I'll be out of town the next 2 weekends, so I knew I had to get there today or never.
I've only been going in there since January, so of course, I finally become aware of a B&M shop w/in 25 minutes, and they close down 9 months later. Mel always impressed me, as he could greet me by name by my second visit to the shop. I bought 3 estates from him over the last several months (including today's, "Carey Magic Inch"), and countless tins. Today he told me to load up on the Presbyterian, and I got a tin of John Cotton 1&2, which I'll probably end up really enjoying and won't be able to get anymore.
But the best thing I got today was a big box full of Wingenroth boxed matches. Enough to last me a few years. I will certainly miss the shop and Mel.
