why am i not surprised that *my* personal taste has to run to a least popular bend. go figure. and put that in context of how popular "pipe smoking" is.. sheesh. At least we still have Royal Yacht!TYM was on of their least popular blends, last to sell out IIRC. It was my buddy Bruce Weaver's favorite tobacco and I dedicated it to the most interesting pipe of his that I own because the tin reminded me of the lapis mortise insert.
Bruce Weaver: sounds like a man of sophistication and taste, and someone I would like.
