Tony78's generosity paid a visit to my mailbox...

I'm sorry for just now getting this up, but I had a very busy weekend with a nephew turning 7, and my son turning 4 (and I wore myself at at the bounce house

) On Friday I received a box in the mail from our friend @Tony78 . I curiously opened it to find this:

While most guys are busy going gaga over Stonehaven and Penzance, I have quietly developed a fondness for ASTB, Peacehaven, and Blackpool. Tony heard me mention this in a thread and took it upon himself to hit me up with a fresh tin

I really appreciate the gesture! I recently got rid of most my tins in order to convert to bulk cellaring, but the 5% I kept were the ones specially acquired to mark my kid's births, and the ones that have been bombed to me over the past couple years by forum members- there is something extra palatable about a pipe full of tobacco that someone presented you as a gift. Thanks again, Tony, I'll enjoy setting fire to this

Very nice gesture and yes a bombed tin of of pipe tobacco or a cigar or you favorite libation in my opinion tend to taste oh so much better than the one I paid for!

Happy Birthday to your nephew and son. My oldest son is 4 also and am very familiar with the bounce house places and the pain they inflict on anyone over the age of 12. Enjoy the ASTB and thanks for all that you do for us here. I think we need an ASTB review
