Fader's Shops in Maryland have been around since Moses crossed the Red Sea (well, almost), and their house blends are always appreciated by me. I have smoked many of them over the years and went back to my notebook for some, but others are recent "smokes" when my local pipe club had a "Fader's Night" at the Tobacco Bar a year or so ago.
I've not ordered from one of the Fader's shops for many years, so, I am not sure whether Old Mike is still being made. It was a complicated blend with the bitter (in a tart rather than yucky sort of way) combo of Deer tongue and Burley mixed in with the Latakia. I was not really a fan of this one as the combination of flavors just didn't do it for me.
