    Pipe tobacco suggestions please?

    So with my recent medical diagnosis I've discovered that my tastes are completely different than they used to be. I find that middle of the road or strong tobaccos are just too much for me...So either full bodied or blends with anything but a mild amount of nicotine. I'm wondering if you guys...

    Good to be back.

    Hi guys. Been a little while since I posted, lots has gone on. Just recently discovered I have a tumor in my frontal lobe...most likely benign but still causing some neuropsychiatric problems due to compression of surrounding tissue. Aside from that I have reconciled with my wife and am now...

    Cobs and me

    When I first started smoking seriously about 13 years ago or so, I was really very excited about a batch of cobs I had purchased. I also bought some 1792, but that's another story. Anyway, The cobs were beautiful, 6 Country gentlemen, all partially bent. I loved the coloration and the...

    HH Black House...what do you think?

    I looked up a thread for this tobacco that was about 2 years old and was wondering what you gentlemen think of this blend now that its been out for a little while? I just ordered a tin from PC and am waiting for it to get here. (I also bought 3.5 ounces of McB Navy flake, the only McB product I...

    Astleys No44 Dark Virginia Flake

    Ok, I can handle this one. Did not knock me on my ass like Dark Kentucky and Stirling Flake did. This is quite full bodied, no real sweetness, moderately good volume of smoke, moderate on the nicotine as well. I also notice this has a salty caramelized flavor/aroma and not the more typical...

    Rattray's Stirling Flake review

    My goodness!! I am just a super wuss today! I could almost cut and paste my review of the HH Dark Kentucky and slap it right here. This stuff says on the tin that it is for gentlemen only, yeah right...Gentlemen with an iron constitution!! This blend smoked a little bitey at first but...

    MacB. HH Bold Kentucky review.

    Well let me start by saying that I have always wanted to like MacB's blends but always found them to be vapid, or smoked way to hotly. Well this Bold Kentucky was neither hot or vapid. In fact, this stuff is bursting with natural flavor and smoked quite cooly. The biggest problem I have with...

    Good friend

    I have a good friend who reviews tobaccos for a major magazine and he is always kind enough to send me the tins he does not favor. Today I got a nice package with Astley's medium flake, dark flake, Rattray's stirling flake and MacB's dark Kentucky. I am blessed to have such a good friend and...

    Perique sensitive?

    I have found that my beloved blend Private Stock burns my lips, tongue and insides of my cheeks. I thought I just needed to get used to it for the last 6 months now, but it keeps happening. This blend has a good deal of perique and I don't get this effect when smoking blends without this...

    Pick one or two, ok enven three, but no more pls.

    I have tried hundreds of blends and finally settled on two. I still will sample other tobacco if gifted to me or some such situation but my search is not nearly as vigorous as it used to be. Are there any other folks out there who have an absolute favorite or two...maybe three? For me its...

    Thanks phil67

    Just wanted to give a shout out to phil67 who sent me some samples of the Squadron leader with perique and some of the Wessex brigade. I tried the SL a few weeks back and just tried the Wessex and it was quite good! So, both were excellent smokes, thank you for your kindness, Phil.
