My son works in Charlotte and I was excited to receive a McCranie’s paneled billiard (”Adria”) made for McCranie’s by Ser Jacopo, as a Christmas gift today, along with some McCranie blends and pipe socks, an ashtray, and some stamped pocket humidors. McCranie’s is a tobacconist icon, much like Iwan Ries & Co. in Chicago and L.J. Peretti in Boston, and it’s cool to add some of their merch to my collection.
