I hadn't bought pipe tobacco in quite some time. I have kind of a lifetime supply at home and unless it is a novelty or a must-have replenishment, I just go to Aladdin's chest and pick something already at hand. I've got enough Escudo and Nightcap to last me till the foxes say good night.
I notice prices have gone up!
This morning I went into de la Concha, Sixth Ave @ 56th Street, bought a tin of Fox' Dorisco, a tin of Fox' Campanile, and a little sardine can's worth of Cornell & Diehl's Red Carpet ("The perfect blend of red Virginias and Périque, with a touch of Smyrna for interest, pressed and sliced into flake form") and the whole thing came to $51.66. I kind of reeled outta there!
Granted that there were some $4 worth of tax, blast NY State, but, at this rate, one might have to go back to smoking dandelion leaves as my cousin and I used to do back at grandma's!
