I will be getting some Star of the East Flake and Opening Night in the near future.
I don't know if they are Craig's creations, but I tip my hat to him regardless for the company he has built and the legacy he has left behind.
I'll certainly keep him in mind on the 16th and I smoke my pipe and reflect on it all...
I've got some Billy Budd waiting to be loaded into my biggest bowl.....or Junkyard Dawg.....or Exhausted Rooster....or maybe all three. Unfortunately I finished my last of Mississippi Mud.
I have many tins and bulk C&D blends in my cellar. I just ordered some his favorite Heritage blend to try on this day, if it arrives in time. If not, I will pop open a tin to enjoy in his memory. RIP Craig :puffpipe:
