I am so stunned that I honestly don't know what to say! I am struggling here!
A package arrived yesterday but I was so busy that I didn't have time to open it until today so I waited, so I could thoroughly enjoy it. I Must give a now famous good old Piet Salute to our brother DoverPipes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a little idea when the rascal dropped a hint when he was trying to con my address out of me but when I opened the box I was absolutely stunned! This is the coup de gra of vintage collectible American pipe tobacco blends for an aficionado of such like me. Something that I have actually dreamed of! Sorry, now the words are starting to flow.
Our man Dover has sent me a vintage sealed tin of John Middleton Walnut with an official seal date of February 26, 1926!!! Amazing! It even still has the key attached to the top of it waiting to be opened! I can't find a weight stamped on it but it looks and feels to be 8-10 oz.
Dover, you are the Man!!! I have tried to conjure up ways to repay such a priceless gift but I am finding it near to impossible! Thank you very much brother!!! And yes, Even though it is labeled Aromatic blend, the description (in too fine a print to get a photo of) says "Walnut is a natural blend of the world's 7 finest tobaccos." With natural underlined as quoted.
