    Bulk substitue for St James Flake?

    Gawith's St James Flake is my favorite blend, but it hasn't been in stock in a long time. Has anyone successfully blended a close substitute? Does anyone have a good approximation of the perique content? I've been adding some perique to aged Stokkebye LBF and it is pretty good, but doesn't...

    PS Luxury BEF and Navy Flake

    Aside from the cavendish in the BEF and the rum topping on the Navy Flake, what are the differences you've noticed? Do you think the Virginias are the same? Seems most people think the BEF has more perique.

I like all of them, I just prefer the bigger bowl. I think I prefer the ~1:2 ratio as well. If I'm...

    Introduction into virginias

    Hello, I have been smoking pipes for about 6 years,but I have stuck to the aromatic blends that my local shop sells. I've been slowly trying out non-aromatics. I've liked the Virginia's and I've decided to invest a little more time and money towards pipe smoking. I just ordered some McClelland...
