    Candy Like Sweet Aromatics Recommendations Please

    Something outside the box... Sillem’s Black. I just ran some websites and didn’t come across any in stock. Read the reviews and see if it’s something that appeals to you. If so, I have some cellared that I can send you.

    Chilllucky Crop 2019

    Those are looking fantastic! Before moving to Nashville, I lived in Burlington Wisconsin for 16 years. I recall seeing my first tobacco field ever somewhere near Fort Atkinson- Cambridge area. Would that happen to be near your Southern Wisconsin location? I always wondered where that tobacco...

    Dunhill Blends are now Charatan?

    The way I first read it was Charatan is just a company that decided to replicate the Dunhill blends since they were no longer available. I would imagine their decision to put these out may have been different had they known STG was buying the brand. But after rereading it, I’m a little confused...

    Bengal Slices WHITE

    Wait, no top note. That doesn’t mean no topping. Interesting.

    Bengal Slices WHITE

    I just ordered 2 tins of the new Bengal Slices White. Bengal Slices original, but slightly lighter and no topping. I really like the licorice so I have no idea what to expect. Here’s the description... Bengal Slices White is the newest entry in the Bengal Slices line. This is a flavorful and...

    Exotique Mixture

    I’m expecting it to be more along the lines of Margate since it sounds like it’s on the milder side of “Balkans”.

    Exotique Mixture

    My Smoker’s Haven EM arrived. Thankfully I was able to get in on the pre-sale a few months ago. I would say that it is perfect timing because Balkans have earned their way into nearly 50% of my rotation these days. I really enjoy Balkan Sobranie so I’m hoping that means I’ll enjoy this. I have...

    Lost my Sponsee and Friend

    Guy, I really appreciate you. I was hesitant to post this, but your responses alone have made me feel a little better so I’m grateful that I did. Thanks for caring and being a group of good dudes.

    Lost my Sponsee and Friend

    It’s not supposed to work out like this. There is zero chance that I would have 8 1/2 years of clean time if it weren’t for my sponsor. 4 months ago I had a guy that was fresh in his recovery reach out to me to be his sponsor. I had only been accountability partners and mentors so I told him I...

    Briarworks Quality?

    I was fortunate enough to purchase mine from their factory south of Nashville. If you go in there when Pete is there and tell him a specific pipe that you are looking for, he’ll go in the back and bring out whatever they have. I had like 10 Princes to chose from.

    Briarworks Quality?

    I have had their Billiard for 2 years and this November got a Prince. I like them both a lot! I’ve smoked my billiard a lot, and have around 5-6 smokes in my Prince so far. I’m actually smoking some old Stonehaven in it right now! To me, the Prince was made to “sip”. It almost has a churchwarden...

    Frozen Tobacco?

    Does freezing tobacco have a negative affect? I’m expecting a delivery today.
