Finally arrived. The Duke can stand in for the Prince rather well in our palace. Not identical, of course, but good stuff.

After your high quality post, [mention]Middle Earth[/mention], don't think I'll bother with my humble offerings from Low Country; Vanilla, Hazelnut, & Rum. (See how I did that?)

Every summer before school starts, I buy a new pipe. Not an estate, or project pipe, but new. A new year, new pipe. This year I really treated myself. I’ve always wanted a Tsuge, and it had to have bamboo. Well I did it, and I’m lovin it! Also got some Barbados Plantation, getting back into some rum tabacs, and my usual PS LNF.

Landed! Cleaning out the storage unit, these totes seem like a good start. True, I have not made a purchase in at least a year, maybe more like two, but being reunited counts, right? Feels brand new all over again. Irish Condor Plug?!!! Oooooooo.......

A few pouches of St. Bruno RR, couple of tubs of SWRA and a few bags of SPMT.
I have this notion of having an ample supply of tobacco available for when and if I ever decide to retire.
