Since i loved to weigh up the pipe tobacco, he always would hand me a bag, relayed the oz. amount the customer wanted and end it with a "and make it messy", my hint to spill a little on the counter with the other drippings. ~2 ounces of holmes 3, and make it messy... ~L I cant remember which employee it was, when i was at the C store, but he also used to smoke the counter sweepings.

Tee Hee, thought you would find it amusing, and oh all tobacco was 4.95 a lb. in christmas blend, but for the trouble of throwing it together it sold for 5.95 a lb. OH i miss that shoppe more and more. I mean, how many people can say in their life that part of their job description was squirting a flaming ashtray with windex on a daily basis. *sigh*. ~L did you know, the whittaker pipe blend, called ‘ christmas blend’ and sold seasonally was just a bunch of odds and ends left over from a humidor bag or a jar, pinch of this handfull of that, happened to be around the holidays.
