[QUOTE="Deleted member 2386, post: 220043"] Gents and Ladies, I am a dyed-in-the-wool, herring-slurping, jenever-sipping Dutch boy at heart, and so I'm interested in hearing if anyone hereabouts has had experiences, either good or bad, with Amphora, either the pipe tobacco blends or the pipes. Amphora showed up on my radar when I saw someone post a picture of an old tin of Amphora and was amazed to see it was blended by Douwe Egberts, my very favorite big box coffee roaster. Looking into the Amphora brand, I saw that they were sold to Imperial Tobacco a while ago, but I'm still curious what people think, especially of the pre-handover stuff. Back when I first got into pipes I tried to find some non-aromatic Dutch pipe tobaccos that I could get my hands on, but came up with nothing that I could easily acquire. Is the older Amphora taback worth investing in, assuming I can find it, or not so much? More pertinent to this neck of the BoB forums, does anyone have good or bad things to say about Amphora pipes? I have a few that I'm keeping my eye on, so I may end up with a PAD post in the near future if the overwhelming consensus isn't that they are to be avoided like a pickled herring that's gone off...Thanks, all, and cheers!
