Brigham pointed this out in another thread, so I googled it, and heres a link.

It comes in a well thought out case, and the tamper has a piece of wood in it, that came from a chair, that was picked up in the wreckage.
Pretty cool huh?

| Maybe Savinelli should do a limited edition Costa Concordia pipe, complete with a bottle of wine and a chunk of granite...

| Mmmhmm. Ever read A Night to Remember? A lot of the men passengers were standing around smoking as the Titanic sank. Women and children first, old boy. I wonder if anyone aboard the Carpathia (sp?) ever claimed to have rescued one of the first-class passenger's Dunhills, plucked from the cold waters of the Atlantic, during rescue ops? Probably not. Pre-Ebay.
Wonder what you'd smoke if you were an Edwardian gentleman that evening. Nightcap, mebbe. |

Tobacco: Leaning toward English flakes lately, and the occasional Danish style semi-aromatic. I'll try anything once, and usually finish the tin as a matter of principle.
Pipe: If it draws air, it'll smoke. If it's a Peterson bulldog or Savinelli billiard, all the better.

| That's an interesting read Monbla. "Throgmorton" caught my eye. The similarly named Frogmorton was named after a village in Lord of the Rings, but the author, Prof. Tolkien, was quite a pipe smoker. Perhaps he named the village in honor of a tabac he fancied, and now it's come full-circle. |

| Thanks very much, Monbla. That's an interesting and concise history of Dunhill tobacco. I haven't seen it before. I have a few tins of 12-year-old Durbar plus some of the other mixtures cited which I plan to smolder in my new Savs. When I begin to pop 'em I'll do so with all due Edwardian reverence. Thanks, again. Great stuff. |

| If it's made with a piece of wood from the Titanic can I assume it will smoke wet???  |
