[QUOTE="Sobranie759, post: 597518, member: 5586"] In 1973 my wife and I went to London. BOAC airlines had a special price $750.00 for 2 people for two weeks. Air, hotel, breakfast and 3 tickets to London's Broadway shows. It was a great trip. I bought only one pipe from Astleys on Jermyn Street. It was a freehand I can't remember the price. A great smoker I still have it. Just nearby was the Charatan Store. This was unbelievable. The pipes were all handmade and each one was a beauty. I looked but I could not afford to buy one. Robert Lewis another great shop. The Dunhill store was , well it was Dunhill, expensive really expensive but so many pipes. Again a lot of looking but no buying. We made it to Sullivan and Powell in the Burlington Arcade . I purchased a tin of 00 Mixture from this little shop. I loved this tobacco. I latter found out that Sobranie made their blends. The London trip was fantastic even though I only got one tin of tobacco and one pipe. I will never forget that trip. Oh ,so here I am thinking all these English guys are smoking latakia blends like Sobranie and 965....nope, the biggest selling brand of pipe tobacco was.......St Bruno. Believe me I asked so many pipe smokers.. I returned to London 12 years ago and I still love the city but the legendary pipe shops are all gone. What a shame !!! [/QUOTE]
