I am glad the sample I smoked of Old Toby was given to me by a friend. I'd never open one of my own tins (if I had one), because of their rarity and prices that they command (now about $150 a tin).

A very nicely put together (are not all Pease blends nicely put together?) blend of fragrant Orientals combined with very nicely aged Virginia and a good helping of Latakia. Smooth as silk an I can see why it was a favorite down in the Shire.
