    Wedding Gift

    My brother-in-law (wife's brother) is getting married in two weeks. This is the guy who introduced me to the art of pipe smoking, and he and I have a lot of good times smoking pipes and sharing tips on tobaccos.

    Peterson Old Dublin

    I received my latest influx of tobacco from SP yesterday, and included in the order was a tin of Peterson Old Dublin. Not having tried it before, I was pretty excited to open it and give it a go. From the first light to the last ash I was very pleased with the taste and room note, and can...
