Another of the brochures/flyers that was in the pile I picked up from my friend on the weekend was this tobacco flyer from Arthur Leonard’s Tobacco Shop in Portland, Oregon. At the time of this publication they had three shops. This flyer is the 1972 Catalogue of Pipe tobaccos. At one point there must have been additional pages but this is the one that came to me. I love the prices and the descriptions of the tobacco. I only wish the shop was still open in Portland. I have an old sea rock carved pipe that came from that shop. I remember many years ago visiting the one at the Lloyd Center shopping mall when they were still open. Have a good read of this document from another time.
