Tracking down some Amphora Red

[bluenoser]

My mother now said she thinks it might have been the brown not red that he smoked, they asked him but he couldn't remember so I think I'll try to track both down. They're still looking but it's not looking like they kept his old pipe. Kind of sad about this but hopefully it will turn up. Though I guess they have an old wooden ashtray he made when he was a kid so that'll be a neat piece to have as well.

On another forum I once wrote a topic on how I envy smokers abroad as I’m residing in South Africa and most tobacco shops here don’t really cater for the pipe smoking enthusiasts. I can only imagine your frustration. The local tobacconists here mostly imports Amphora, Peterson and Mc Barren tobacco. The brown is the regular and the red is a full aromatic. If your struggle continues and there is no other means for you to get hold of Amphora I might as well get you some and ship it over.
I really hope your dad's pipe turn up.
Cheers

If it turns out being the red, and you can wait till August and are still interested, I will buy you a pouch and send it to you when I am back in the states.
