My intro to an iconic English was Dunhill (now Peterson) My Mixture 965; I've been hooked since. I recommend you at least give that one a try. puffy

Wow! The Grabow is starting to look like a couple of mine! They must be related. (Took mine a lot longer to get there. :LOL: )

Wow! Relieved to discover that this thread is about cabinets. When I first saw the title of this thread ... well, I imagined the unspeakable. :eek:😆

:eek: -Oh, fucking bummer! (At least you know. Thanks for sharing that.)

That's an impressive set, for sure. One also has to be curious about the story of the pipe that isn't there. :sher:

Boy ... I've got too many ugly ones to choose from. I'll have to pick one when I get home ... :eek:

Hearth and Home Midtown Chestnut in a (surprise) Stanwell 86 Black Diamond; out walking with a Yeti of Constant Comment. This stuff is better than Walnut (which I liked well enough to sock away a few tubs). Chestnut is just clean, smokey and yummy. Highly recommended ... puffy

Gorgeous! 🤔 -(Hmmm ... where's that darn cat?)

Oh, no! Time for a bout of homesickness ... One of the things I miss most about living in Chicago is the monthly-biweekly visit to Iwan Ries. Absolutely terrific place with nice, bright folks working there ... it may be your best chance (at least in the midwest) for a true 20th century...
