Here you go - if you have smoked all of the other tobacco blends that are available and just have to have this stuff - there ain't no more of it.

We could always do a split on that one!! Anything less than $60 total a tin would be a decent buy.


btw - congrats on 300 RG!!

Thank you

But at $60 - I'll try 3 half pound tins of his other blends.

I really do agree. Would be worth more as an investment than a smoke to enjoy!! And yet we would calmly drop extra cash on an aged box of gars or one that's discontinued.

Oh this is very true - but, only to smoke - For me - tobacco is not a very good investment - it's like watching my money go up in smoke!

it is odd! either a retailer making as much profit as possible off of his stock or a scam.

good stuff, but not so good as Renaissance(IMHO) - I would split with you, but at $30 a tin... A little to steep for my taste - too many other good blends out there - I'd take Bill Bailey's Balkan over this one in a heart beat, probably Caravan too...

the collector in me yearns for this stuff, but the practical part of me says it isn't worth it...

Well, I just won my first estate pipe on Ebay. It is a Charatan. It will need wom cleaning up, but I have gotten pretty good at it thanks to the FAQ section and cleaning up all of those new old stock pipes I have picked up. I have become pretty good at polishing.

Here is a picture. It was only $21 shipped. I think it is a pretty good buy. Other than the oxidation, it seems to bee in good shape. I guess I will know in the next several days once I receive it.
