3 Nuns

[markw4mms]

You might want to try C&D Three Friars, it's a pretty close match to the old Three Nuns to my memory. It is a ribbon cut instead of flake/coin though.

In the recent Pease article, "Ghost Busting". Greg describes his "Triple Play" has an homage to Three Nuns. Has anyone here tried the original and the GLP blend?

I had a dream one time about 3 Nuns

I just had to bless myself!

I smoked Three Nuns for alot of years and it was my smoke of choice . I tried the Three Nuns that they sell in pouches in England and it's rubbed out . It still captures the Three Nuns Flavor but not the burn , being the original is coins . I guess they still make the Three Nuns in coins over there but what my friend got was rubbed. The rubbed out version was fine and I got two pouches the other day from him . Smoked some tonight and yesterday ... a great Benchmark blend !

Always wanted to try Three Nuns but never got around to it before it vanished. At $75.00 a tin I doubt I ever will. That is a nice looking GBD hnryclay.

I used to buy Bells 3 nuns from a swiss site back in 02 and it wasn't that expensive. I only have 2 tins left and have plans to crack them only for a very special occasion like my daughters or sons weddings. I saw one listed on Ebay last week for 85.00 but it did not sell. It is a very good blend not quite as much nose as Escudo but a tad sweeter to my taste if memory serves.

Am I the only one who has re-visited this thread 40+ times to look at her voluptuous breasts again? :crazy:

No, Hobie, most of us copy the picture onto our desktops.

I've lingered myself...

3 Nun's are eating breakfast in the rectory. The first one says "I was cleaning father's bathroom and found dirty magazines." The second one says "what did you DO!" The first one said "I burned them." The the second one says "well I was cleaning father's bedroom and found a box of condoms." The first one says "what did you DO!" The second one says "I took my habit pin and poked holes in them." The third Nun fainted.

I was at the carrousel Keyer Tobacco Shoppe here in Cincinnati today and they have a very old, unopned tin of 3 Nuns for sale at $35. I'm not sure which incarnation it is, but the tin is devoid of the all warnings found on modern pipe tobaccos.

 

[mrgunnar177]

Hmm...$35....

 

[ssjones]

Choch: Does the Carousel still carry a lot of James Upshall pipes?
(ps: yes, I had to look at that Nun again!)

 

[mrgunnar177]

I had to look at the num again :wink:

 

[choch]

Al,
They had at least 4 or 5 estate Upshalls yesterday, and at very fair prices too. Ditto Sasieni 4 Dots.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the source of the story that this was C.S. Lewis' favorite? I've similarly heard that Erinmore was Tolkien's favorite, without being able to locate the source.

Villiger's Cocktail Hour is mighty tasty!!

Its up to $41 bucks on ebay with 6d to go. That's too rich for me. I might try the Three Friars and VCH tho.
