i was thinking that was the stuff from the article but didn't want to sound foolish. let us know what you think.
Nobody is ever foolish, no one has all the knowledge. Yes it is the semois from the article http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/14/magazine/tobacco-thats-so-brooklyn-but-made-in-belgium.html?_r=0 but its a little dry and tired from the trip so a little humidity nap before I get to break open a gold brick.

The slope continues! Picked up a new RC Sands pipe (he's out of Columbus, which I thought was cool) and some more varieties of tobacco to try out including Dunhill Early Morning Blend, Mac Baren 100% Burley & a house blend.

Grabbed some Samuel Gawith Westmorland Mixture & some more Smokers Haven Exotique Blend (definitely near the top of my list for favorite blends so far) today.

It's prolly my favorite pipe tobacco thus far. So flavorful, nuanced & smooth. I love that its made for a shop that's literally 5 minutes from where I work too. I'll throw some in my next package to you.

Hole in the wall shop that you'd prolly pass without even noticing unless you knew right where it was. Prime location on N High St, just north of the OSU campus though. Almost seems like they're not utilizing their location to the fullest extent, but what do I know? Knowledgable staff (Benjamin Berkeley is who I've been dealing with) & they have a nice selection of new & estate pipes & all kinds of pipe tobaccos in bulk. Looks like they're redoing their walk in humidor & their cigar selection is horrible at the moment though. They also have a house blend made by J.F. Germain & Son (just like the Exotique is) that is called "Select" and it is really good, but much more mild & more of a morning smoke in my book. Well worth checking out though the next time you're in Columbus.

Just got a 2 oz tin today, brutha. They told me it sells quick. I didn't really believe them, but I guess they were telling me the truth if its sold out online. Half my tin has your name on it, Tommy Boy.Damit...set myself up. :stickbeatIt's prolly my favorite pipe tobacco thus far. So flavorful, nuanced & smooth.
