Subject: Neptune pipe tobacco

Dear Sir:  I use a computer at my local library and have attempted several 
times to send a query to the pipe tobacco chat room.  For reasons not clear 
to me, the message does not seem to have gotten out of the local system.  No 
one here at the library is intimately familiar with the workings of the 
system, so I don't know what's happening.
In any event, I wonder if you might be able to post this inquiry on the 
tobacco page?   "Around 1960 I smoked a delightful slice-cut Cavendish 
called Neptune.  I purchased it at that time from Wally Frank and believe it 
was a Dutch or Dannish tobacco.  In checking with several tobaconnists, I 
learned that Neptune is no longer imported in the US.  Does anyone know if 
it is still made?  If so, how can I purchase it, short of hopping over to 
the motherland?  Incidentally, this tobacco is similar to Troost slices.  It 
came in a small blue box, the slices being approximately 3"x3/4".  Thank you 
for your assistance."
