Almost gone?
I was talking to a friend the other night about his days running a Pipe Tobacco shop. He said they had recipes for different blends and used an old clothes dryer with the heat element removed to mix them..A few pounds of this, a few ounces of that and "Bam" we're smoking. He lived in MI during this time and retired to TN whereafter the stores he managed were closed..Thats sad since he doesn't remember the blends, but they sold tons of Pipe tobacco like that for years...He had some really old samples that smelled like light English blends. Even if I enjoyed and reviewed it, getting some more is not possible any longer..wahhh so sad...
