    New C&D Blends Montford Point Marine & USS Mason

    I did try the tobaccos at Richmond. They were not my cup of tea, however, I did like their Quiet Night blend and thought it was excellent. I came home with several tins.

    Richmond Pipe Show 2010

    I enjoyed the CORPS Richmond show, after all, I was able to display my hawkbill collection and say hello to old friends. Receiving the two awards was also great.
