10-20 year old Grecian briar in stock for a limited time

We have recently acquired a shop's contents from a retired pipe maker. Within the shop, there was 1,000 very well seasoned Grecian briar blocks. Once these are gone, they are gone, won't be seeing any more well seasoned stuff until another pipe maker retires and I catch wind of it :) Grade 2 plateau...

Re: Happy Birthday Steve!!!

Overall it was so much more awesome than I...
