New York Pipe Club blends

[SoddenJack]

Anyone know what happened to the New York Pipe Club blends? Back when I first decided to try pipe smoking these were some of the first blends I truly enjoyed. I grew up in NJ and spent a lot of time in NYC in my teens and 20s, so naturally these piqued my interest.
Returning to the briar I was a little saddened to learn these blends have been discontinued for some and mostly forgotten. All I have is a single tin of Hell’s Kitchen (a personal favorite) that I’ll probably never open. Too bad they never blew up like the Seattle Pipe Club blends.

I believe these were made by Russ Ouellette from Pipes and Cigars. You could shoot him an email and find out. Heck, he might even be able to tell you if they are still made under a different name or maybe even make you some up? He's a great guy and highly regarded in the pipe community. I can't say the same for the company he works for.... But I digress..
