Went to my local B&M yesterday (Strauss tobacco in Cincinnati). It's not the best pipe shop in the world, but I love it. I had not been in a while, it was good see everyone and sit down for a smoke and a chat. One thing I love about them is they often have a special seasonal blend. Right now it's a Halloween blend called "Sleepy Hollow". It's a great aro (after I added some cube cut burley). It's just one of the nice things a local shop has to offer.
