    RIP Dick Dale "King of the Surf Guitar"

    I was fortunate enough to see Dick play at several shows throughout the years. Despite his numerous health issues, he was always gracious and a true professional. He always made time to speak to his fans at his shows ,sign autographs, and take pictures. May he rest in eternal peace.

I can nearly 100% guarantee that the USPS still has the pipe in their...

    Buttheads in Danbury has a decent selection of tins (Be prpared to pay CT "Nosebleed Prices"). Bulks not so much. You can ask Kevin (The owner) if he has anymore Dunhill bulk squirreled away in the warehouse.
