I've got about a pound left from 2011. Good stuff but not one I grab frequently. Should last another 10 to 20 years. :)
As for the original post, I may give this one a shot. With a recent change in employment, I find myself setting a pipe down for longer and longer periods.
Hey there. to the group. The Tinderbox in Santa Monica was where I cut my teeth in pipe smoking 25 years ago. I spent a lot of time there talking with Ed and the other guys. Learned a lot there. That place is greatly missed. :(
What part of SoCal? I'm in Torrance. We've got at least...
If it makes you feel better, I will setup a table with some pipes and tobacco tins for sale in front of my house. Start small this year then branch out next year.
I'm sitting on a few pounds of the 515RC1 and the 507S. I like them better together (half and half or even 2:1) and enjoy them fresh as well as with a year or two age on them. The bite definitely drops a bit with age, but all good either way. :)
