The second Chicago Throwdown was a tremendous success thanks to cooperation of the Seattle and New York Pipe Clubs, the driving forces of the Brother's Guss and the participation of both the blenders and judges! Congratulations to our good buddy, Dick Silverman, the "Chief Catoonah", for formulating the winning blend, now called Princes Street and can be purchased here:
