    Where To View Fred Hanna's Straight Grain Collection?

    You can buy his book, The Perfect Smoke in e-book form on Amazon and likely elsewhere, it has color photos of many of his pipes. It’s also a great read as well.

    Any Chance That STG Will Bring Clan to the States?

    Mrs. Pickles: I got a perfume flavor, but not the rose infused grandma’s perfume like a Gawith, more alcohol based like a Chanel #5 type of note. I didn’t enjoy it, but didn’t find it as awful as many have, just not my cuppa.

    All Day Smoking Tobacco Recommendations?
