I am lucky enough to live in the same city as Iwan Ries. Tomorrow, I am meeting my wife for lunch downtown and then heading over to get some new tobacco. I may even try and find a chess game in their smoking lounge. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for which tobacco I should buy?????

Their 3 Star Blue is a nice all-around blend while their 3 Star Royal is a really nice English. I also suggest their IRC Virginia Flake is a very good straight VA flake. As hobie suggests, take pics!

Man you are lucky, living in the same city as Iwan Ries AND Wrigley Field. If it were me, I would increase my stock of Three Star Gray, and a couple of tins of something I've never tried before. Pick up a tin of the new Blue Mountain, I just got an order from IR last week and tried some, I recommend it highly.

Dr. Bradley Mixture, Gourmet English and for something really different, grab a pouch of Kings Oriental. :)
