Some pipe history

[fvfanmc]

Here is a link that I found on pipe history. I used to buy my tobacco from Wally Frank. I used to buy tobacco in 3 lb bulk bales(no tins, Labby! ).

Apparently, they are no longer in business.

I would buy 4 or 5 different tobaccos and mix 'n match my own blends. Then I would give to relatives that smoked pipes.
