My Dad smoked a pipe before I was born. My mom apparently came out to show him a brand new dress she had, and a bit of tobacco popped out of the pipe and burnt a hole through the dress. He never smoked again. He had the pipes and stand for years in the basement, but wasn't until too late when I found out that when they moved they just tossed it in the trash. Falcon, couple Brighams, and another one...
My Dad was 20yrs older than my mom, so, people thought he was my grandpa... and he was almost as old as my Grandpa on my mom's side. :D
But both long gone... no tins or pipes, nothing but that imagined smell that once in a while you catch a whiff of but then it's gone.
I'd imagine it was a drugstore brand... back when drug stores sold health care products and tobacco. :D
Was about to order some pipe tobacco... been many many year's since I have. I smoke, but outside only so, almost never in winter and maybe only a few times a month otherwise, so it lasts. I shop online through the USA and get the 1oz or 2oz samples. And tins of Old Dublin, which is my favourite.
Never tried Amphoria or Borkum, I did try Cpt Black original, some gave to me when I first started smoking a pipe, but wow was it ever dried out and old. I know how to rehydrate now. Was going to try the 5-sample Cpt Black, has all the flavours. Maybe it was one of those.
I had Lane-1, Prince Albert and Sir Walter, when I started about 6yrs ago... can't find my notebook, because I liked one and meh for the other two... but those also been around a while. Maybe one of them.
