The Basics of Tobacco Blending
by Russ Ouellette
A lot of people have contacted me over the years about learning how to blend tobaccos, and, in fact, we have been considering doing some two day seminars for those who have the interest. The truth of the matter is that tobacco blending is both simpler and more difficult than it seems. What I'm going to attempt to do is give a guide to making your own mixtures, or, at the very least, give you an idea of how to alter or "tweak" a blend you already enjoy. But let me start by clarifying what I mean by the simplicity and complexity of blending.

Tobacco Cellaring - There’s an App for That
iPhone "Pipe Tool" Review by Tom Treweek
“Pipe Tool not perfect, but still a must buy for pipe smokers” - When you choose a hobby for its traditional nature, for the way it harkens back to a time before technology became king, then you do not expect to find it represented on your electronic devices. Online pipe forums were a welcomed surprise for those enjoying a pastime that encourages meditative solitude more frequently than face-to-face interactions. But it may be even more shocking to find that, when it comes to the leaf and briar, there’s an app for that.
Dunhill Pipe Tobacco Returns to the US
There have been rumors in the past, but this time it is true. We have it straight from British American Tobacco, the owners of the Dunhill Tobacco trademark - Dunhill Pipe Tobaccos will once again be available in the United States, most likely in September 2010.
Last week I was in Denmark with Sykes Wilford from SmokingPipes.com. Part of our trip consisted of touring the Orlik factory, which is one of the largest pipe tobacco factories in the world. Mr. Troels Mikkelsen, the Factory Manager, took Sykes and I on a tour of the factory. (We will have pictures and videos of the Orlik factory in future articles). During the factory tour he mentioned that they would start producing Dunhill Tobaccos in August for the US market, and suggested we get official word from headquarters.
Balkan Sasieni Pipe Tobacco Review
Balkan Sasieni is kind of an almost famous tobacco … sort of. It’s name implies (and many have suggested, and others have disagreed) that it may be a substitute for the long gone, legendary Balkan Sobranie. I can’t tell you if it is, as I never had the opportunity to smoke Balkan Sobranie. Who cares!?! Balkan Sasieni is here and it’s great, and Balkan Sobranie no longer exists. Get over it! There’s tons and tons of awesome tobaccos and Balkan Sasieni should be on every Latakia Lover’s list. There’s no guessing what this tobacco will deliver as soon as you open the tin - Bam! There’s a smoky smoky Latakia tin aroma that immediately dispels any doubt, and makes you confident that this will be an enjoyable smoke. But wait … there’s more to it than that.

By Bob TateTo dedicate or not to dedicate? That is a question that is asked frequently by pipe smokers. Before I give my answer to this question, I would like to explain a few things. There are some advantages to dedicating pipes to certain tobaccos and there can be some disadvantages as well. The reason [...]
