With a great deal of regret I’ve had to miss the last two meetings of the Seattle Pipe Club. Unfortunately I’ve been on vacation during each of these meetings. Missing out on the wonderful fellowship of the club is a great disappointment, a disappointment deepened because I have ready for pick up a new pipe there. A wonderfully carved SPC meerschaum.
While the vacations have been wonderful, hopefully I’ll not be missing the next meeting!
From the moment I joined the Seattle Pipe Club I heard about the mythical blend Plum Pudding created for the club by Mr. Joe Lankford. Mythical of course not only because it was such a wonderful blend, but also because one couldn’t get any. It was all stashed away in member’s homes.
Luckily the time came when I was able to order some for myself, and I’m glad that I got a bit carried away. I bought plenty to see me through years of enjoyable smoking, and now it was my turn to think upon my good fortune as others tried to find an adequate stash for themselves.
Then came Seattle Evening. Another superb blend, but smokable for one night only as it was crafted specifically for use at our Annual Dinner.
Alas I am proud to report that the horrible shortage of these amazing tobaccos is over. They are now available to all from PipesandCigars.com.
I would strongly recommend that you follow my lead and order some of this amazing tobacco today. You will not be disappointed.
I should also point out that these blends, plus Mississippi River will be reviewed in the fall issue of Pipes and Tobaccos magazine.
