    Becoming a codger?

    Chatham Manor is currently available in tubs only. I contacted Pipes & Cigars and the customer service rep claims they are not getting any from their supplier for the 2oz samples, tubs only. I contacted Russ O via FB several weeks ago regarding this and he replied that he wasn't aware of that...

    Car smoke/Odor eliminators

    Aside from odor cover-ups has anyone had success with ozonators, chlorine based treatment or any other car interior application that would be active and on going. I have read that ozonators have the potential to degrade fabric/plastics but the exposure time and intensity is very high. I also...

    Mike Brissett custom Kirsten bowls

    Hi all, I am an infrequent poster but a long term pipe smoker, Kirsten being a favorite in the rotation. I have several stem configurations with four wood and one meer bowl. A consistent observation, regardless of bowl or tobacco, is they are somewhat fussy getting to get to the bottom of the...

    Burly's

    Head and shoulders (no, not a shampoo tobacco) above for my taste is House of Calabash blends. Brooks has some serious blending mojo. Wild Rose- House of Calabash (Steven Brooks) Grandfather's Own-House of Calabash Classic Burley Kake- Pipes& Cigars Pegasus (with a bit Basma added and Black...

    Tobacco Reviewers?

    I have posted a few. I have relied on the more frequent posters to help in decision making. Like anything else it is prudent to be familiar with the reviewer and understand their biases but there is no substitute for the history of experience.

    Burley blends: Peretti v. McCranies

    I ordered from McCranies; Old Master (Bur/Va/deertongue), Brandywine ( an American Burley-English wanna be with Bur/Turk/Orie/Lat, no VA) & Bishop Burley (some oriental/VA). All contain mostly ribbon burley. Old Master clearly has some deertongue, is smooth, gentle with the herb (vanilla) in the...

    Chocolate Flavored Pipe Tobacco

    Hmmm, interesting comments. I get a wee bit of the cocoa unsweetened in the background from Solani Aged Burley Flake but that is a long row away from any of the cased blends being mentioned. I wouldn't get ABF for the cocoa alone but would love to find a soft-ish burley blend, non cased, but...

    Discontinued/Hard-to-Find Blends: Search and Found

    I have a just opened 8oz foil of Penzance (less one pipeful). Stored the bag for two years before opening and now I'd rather smoke Justice Mixture from Watch City Cigar. Go figure. I'd be willing to trade for oriental-ish blends, nothing as big as Penzance maybe a little sweet but no candy-ish...
