I certainly will.
I wish I would have ordered more than 1 oz now. I'd send some along.
I'm betting it's good. VA and Latakia. How can it not be?

I'm thinking about getting some, taking part of it and topping with a little rum, then storing it away for a few months; sort of a more lat-heavy Navy flake.

Don't listen to this guy!
One day last week, I was close enough to The Pipe and Pint to kill a little lunch time browsing. Picked up one tin each of Peterson Irish Flake and 3P. I've got enough different things open I just put the tins in the cabinet for now.
Happy as if I had good sense.

Just ordered these on e-bay:
They're unfinished, but drilled, just need to polish the stems and finish/wax the bowls. They were cheap so I thought it might fun to try my hand at it.
You oughta know not to stand by the window, somebody see you up there.

Nice lot Bruce.
Careful with type of wax since it gets into the recesses and can tun milky. I think Halcyon is made for this but don't quote me. Some Fiebings stain but you probably know that.
Enjoy,

Hey friend. Your inbox is full so I'll just tell you here.
My order came in and P&C hooked me up. I ordered 1 oz and the bag contained nearly 2 oz.
There will be a sample coming your way tomorrow. I've only had one bowl so far so I don't really have a true opinion yet, but my first impression was that it's pretty good. Not Navy Flake good, but pretty good.
I'm interested to know what you think.

I bought 4 in the Dublin shape-- they've actually been pretty nice smokers for around 6 dollars a piece.

Will do, but only if the finished product is worth looking twice at (the learning curve is often not pretty)
