Hello all,
I was a regular in the 90's and early 2000's of ASP, in the wonderful days of Greg Pease, Mark Tinsky, Paul Szabady and other luminaries. I wrote a few hundred reviews in the then-new tobaccoreviews archives. I experienced the blossoming and tragic passing of Syrian Latakia in the port fire. I bought a pound of the last crop of true St. James Perique directly from the farmer (Percy something, I think). I was bitten quite severely by TAD and PAD. Great stuff.
As life has moved on, with parenthood, new home, etc., my pipe smoking diminished, to the point where I only smoke a pipe about a dozen times per year. I am, however, sitting on a large amount of tobacco that has been in sealed mason jars and tins for the past 15 - 25 years. I believe that selling is not permitted on this board, which makes sense because this isn't a profit-driven group, but if there is an exception for passing these old friends onto pipe lovers for a fraction of their value, could you let me know? I'm not looking to make a profit. But if these tobaccos were to cross that line where they turn from gold into lead, it would make me sad. If I am crossing a line, I apologize and won't bother you again. If the moderator of the group views this post first, which I believe is the case, and doesn't approve it for publishing, could you contact me with any ideas as to how I can get this to pipe enthusiasts.
I have lots of McClellands (I just heard they went out of business a few years ago - unbelievable!), some of the first Pease line, some of that true Perique, and lots of other things (mostly VA-based) that should be of interest to some of you.
Thanks for reading,
Christopher (Inquisitor)
