Gramps - how do you order Sleepy Hollow? Do you have to call the order in?

I don’t see prices anywhere on their site.

Oh you know I didn’t check—ordered half a pound over the phone last year, and that’ll probably last me for the duration. Unlike some shops I could mention they’re real friendly to talk to!

I know Wilke Blends are not relatively unknown, but I seldom see anyone smoking #515, which is the blend that was made for Basil Rathbone. I really like that one. Mild enough to smoke all day, flavorful enough to not be boring.

Thanks Jim,

I didn't see #515 for sale on the Wilke site, just the Rumcake which also mentions Basil Rathbone in the description, hence the confusion.

Sounds like #515 would be more up my alley since it's lighter on the rum.

Straus is a great shop and the Florence location even has a great smoking section in the store. I stop by quite often to see what’s new and in the winter enjoy the heated comfort of the smoking section.

I would recommend if you call them to ask about the CAPS blends which are for the local Cincinnati Area Pipe Society.
