When not pipe smoking, and sometimes while pipe smoking, I'm a Barrister.

Dublin is a mixed bag. We have the Peterson's shop on Nassau Street in the city centre. All of the Petersons's products you could possibly desire, with pipes at a significant discount (compared to online sources.) Petersons carry a small selection of other makers tobaccos - but nothing that you...
